Chimeras are strange creatures having a lion’s body with the heads of a lion, a goat, and a dragon, and the wings of a dragon. A chimera is about 5 feet tall at the shoulder, nearly 10 feet long, and weighs about 4,000 pounds. A chimera’s dragon head might be black, blue, green, red, or white, and has the same type of breath weapon as that sort of dragon. Regardless of type, the dragon’s head breathes a 50’ long cone with a 10’ wide end, for 3d6 points of damage; victims may save vs. Dragon Breath for one-half damage.
Chimeras are cruel and voracious. They can speak Dragon but seldom bother to do so, except when toadying to more powerful creatures.
