The Cosmic chimaera is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Cosmic chimaeras are a powerful variant of chimaera, covered in loud pink plumage. Their bodies are coloured magenta with a cream-coloured underside and head, a fringe of white or light pink feathers around its throat, and feathers in various shades of pink on its wings. Their magic is more advanced than the Hocus chimaera's and their flames are blisteringly hot, enough for a group of them to be a serious threat to unprepared parties. Though the reference to space in their name was originally just to signify their strength, the Cosmic chimaeras have since been a source for Lucida shards.
