The chimaera is a monster with a [[Bird family|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 wing]]s if they are defeated. They can be terrible creatures to face in battle and terrific allies to have at one's side.

Dragon Quest X

Chimaeras appeared from the beginning of the game. They are able to breathe out both Fire Breath and Flame Breath. In Version 2.0, chimaeras were one of the original ten monsters that could be tamed by Monster Masters. Starting with Version 5.0, vicious chimaeras can be faced in the Netherworld, as well, now having the ability to breathe out a blazing fire.

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.
