The '''Hocus chimaera''' is a monster in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Hocus Chimaeras look just like their normal kin, but are composed of warmer colors such as reds and oranges.
Hocus chimaeras are monsters with the heads and wings of [[Bird family|vultures]], while having the lower bodies of serpents. In some games, they have slightly reddish bodies with golden feathers on their wings and around their necks. In most appearances, they have brown plumage with lighter brown on their undersides and heads. They are higher level evolutions of [[Chimaera|chimaeras]] that have gained some spellcasting ability. The hocus chimaeras also occasionally augment this by breathing fire, as well.


While naturally talented at using magic, Hocus Chimaeras' spells are rarely something to fear as they tend to use the most basic form of a spell. Their magic-slinging is most bothersome when they opt to use encumbering spells such as Dazzle instead of attack magic.

Description Blazing-breathed mountain birds of the chimaera family who are tough against fire, and may lay some good eggstras when licked.

Their sepia tone puts people in a misty-eyed mind of yesteryear, but they themselves are young, dumb, and full of fun.
