"description": "\"How chimerae were created is a dark mystery, better left unexplained. The chimera has the hindquarters of a large, black goat and the forequarters of a huge, tawny lion. Its body has brownish-black wings like those of a dragon.\n\nThe monster has three heads, those of a goat, a lion and a fierce dragon. The goat head is pitch black, with glowing amber eyes and long ochre horns. The lion head is framed by a brown mane and has green eyes. The dragon head is covered with orange scales and has black eyes. [...]\n\nIts many heads and powerful physique make the chimera a deadly foe in combat. The monster prefers to surprise its victims, often swooping down upon them from the sky. [...] If it desires so, the dragon head can loose a stream of flame some 5 yards long in lieu of biting. The chimera will always attempt to breathe if its opponents are in range. If more than 1 chimera is encountered, they will attack in concert.\n\nThe chimera, being a hybrid, combines the preferences of the lion, the goat and the dragon in its habitat, society and ecology. The dragonish part of its nature gives the chimera a distinct preference for caves as lairs. The dragon and lion parts seem to war with one another, for some chimerae are dragon-like in their preference for solitude, while others live in small prides. Even if they mate, offspring are rare.\n\nThe monster is an omnivore. The goat head will browse on the toughest plants and shrubs and will derive nutrition from the most barren vegetation while the lion and the dragon heads can only be satisfied with flesh. The chimera hunts once every 3 or 4 days, using its strength and limited intelligence to gain an advantage over those it prays on. Having a voracious appetite, it sometimes roams over territories as large as 20 square miles.\n\n[...] the chimera enjoys preying upon men, elves, dwarves, and halflings. It will even gladly attack other monster in its search for food. Anyone entering its territory becomes prey, and will be treated accordingly.\n\nThe chimera cannot resist attacking groups of travellers or monsters for another reason: its dragon nature craves the treasure that its prey might be carrying. Although it has no earthly use for it, the chimera will gather the coins of its fallen foe into a heap and roost on it like a dragon. Its hoard is nothing like that of a true dragon, however, and consists mainly of copper and silver coins, with perhaps some jewelery and a few magical items.\"\n\nAD&D 2nd ed. Monstrous Manual\n\nD&D © Wizards of the Coast\n\n\"The Chimera according to Greek mythology, was 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 protruding from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head. It was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.\"\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(mythology)",
