Chimera

4. Chimera

Power and Abilities

Chimera, being constituted of multiple parts from multiple random animals and humans, are very formidable threats. Its mutation effects are also very dangerous, because it will transform human to human-animal hybrids to the point that cannot be recovered from. Chimera blood is highly infectious, and could induce mutations to humans. Every human that came into contact with its blood will get infected and mutated into random animal parts. Chimera could induce mutation processes, making humans into human-animal hybrids. Chimeras are very overwhelming. A strike of a chimera is capable of ripping a human's spine out of their back. They have a variety of built-in weapons thanks to their hybrid nature, including the fangs and claws of a lion, a ram's horns, and snake fangs.

Weaknesses

Culling the infected will slow down the mutation process, but if the blood has been spread too far inside the human bodies, it will be unable to save them.

Beheading the chimera effectively kills them and any turned humans. Beheading the head chimera will cure the newly turned. But if the infection has been take a long while, killing them is the only solution, since there is no cure for the infection.

Lore

The Chimera (/kᵻˈmɪərə/ or /kaɪˈmɪərə/, also Chimaera (Chimæra); Greek: Χίμαιρα, Chímaira "she-goat") was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head, and was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.

The term chimera has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.

The seeing of a Chimera was an omen for disaster.
