The Chimera... Each of the Chimera's ferocious heads has a specific way of attacking its foes: the Lion's head breathes fire, the Goat's head has a petrifying gaze, and the Serpentine head attacks with a venomous bite. The Chimera itself will also attack with its powerful front claws, and any of the beast's heads are capable of biting its prey. GMs are encouraged to alternate between heads and attacks during combat...

chimera

A winged chimera with lion, goat, and draconic heads

"The Chimera is a blasphemy of flesh; lion, goat, and serpent bound together in cruel union. Its lion's head roars flame, while the draconic head strikes with a venomous bite. The goat's baleful eyes glow with a petrifying curse, freezing the blood of those who dare meet its gaze. Few sights are more dreadful than this creature's silhouette against a burning horizon..."
