For the monster vocation in Dragon Quest VII, see Chimaera (vocation).

The Chimaera is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

The chimaera is a monster with a vulture's head with a ring of downy feathers around its neck and the body of a serpent, with a bird's wings that constantly flap to keep it airborne.

Having appeared many times throughout the series, chimaeras have proven themselves to be formidable creatures, often having great potential for strength, magic, and natural skills such as breathing fire and ice as well as a chance to drop chimaera wings if they are defeated. They can be terrible creatures to face in battle and terrific allies to have at one's side.

Trivia

• In Greek mythology, the Chimaera is a fire-breathing hybrid creature from Lycia in Asia Minor. It is traditionally depicted as a lion with the head of a goat sprouting from its neck, a tail ending with a snake's head, and occasionally with a pair of dragon's wings on its back. It was said to be one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna.
• The chimaera's original name, wyvern, is a type of mythical dragon with two wings, two legs, and a pointed tail which is sometimes said to be a venomous stinger. It is featured frequently in heraldry.
