Personality |
The Chimera is strong of body and of mind. It enjoys playing as much as it does hunting. Not much is known about it as some are fearful of its potential, but it's a loyal creature when its trust is earned. Its tails are likely more dangerous than it is. |
|
Size |
Chimeras range from the size of a large dog to the size of a large bus. |
|
Fun! Fact |
Some legends claim the first Chimera was a Leopis bitten by a Miasma Ophidian, and that over the generations, their spots changed to stripes. |
|
Danger! Fact |
The tails bite, and spit poison. The Chimera itself? It has claws and teeth, so use your imagination, and don't make it angry. |

Official Information[]
"The Chimera are one of Anatheria's most interesting creatures. They are very fierce by nature and are some of the most cunning hunters on the planet. But do not be fooled; the Chimera is a loyal pet. Despite its snake tails, the Chimera is not as scary as it looks and can be quite affectionate with those it trusts. Its tail is perhaps the most unique in Anatheria; no one knows how it came to be, but it is believed that the first Chimera was bitten by a Miasma Ophidian. Instead of dying from the poison, it mutated and grew two tails instead. The Chimera is closely related to the Leopis."
The plural of Chimera is Chimeras.
Both male and female Chimeras are known as Chimera.
Currently all Chimeras are drawn by Hinata.
Obtaining a Chimera[]
The only known method to obtain a Chimera is to use a Morphing Vial. Another method may exist, but it is unknown at this time.
