Chimera

Mkay, chimerae are a group of monsters, yo.

from dictionary.com

An imaginary monster made up of grotesquely disparate parts.

A fire-breathing she-monster usually represented as a composite of a lion, goat, and serpent. (most common in mythology, but not the only ones)

Chimera, Greek mythological character. The Chimera was a fire-breathing she-monster made up of the front parts of a lion, the middle parts of a goat, and the tail of a snake. (refers to one specific chimera named the Chimera, like queen of the chimerae.)

A monster represented as vomiting flames, and as having the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon. ``Dire chimeras and enchanted isles.'' --Milton.

so, don't get on a high horse and all that shiz.

If your basing your knowledge on the Greek mythos of what a chimera is, your incorrect. The Chimera is a fire-breathing she-monster with a lion's head and a goat's body and a serpent's tail; daughter of Typhon. And Bellerophon finally killed it while riding his winged horse Pegasus. Or according to others it had the heads of a lion, a goat, and a serpent (as the tail) on a goat's body.

The purpose of your post is what? To show off that your a beta tester... other than that, there was no relevant or helpful information at all.

I think when i was playing ffx (final fantasy 10) there was a monster named chimera or something within that name . Looked kind of like the one in the picture.

Also, this is the Greek beast referenced in Mission Impossible 2. Chimera was the bad-*** disease... Belerafon was the hero that slayed him.

Chimera are well-known from Greek mythology. Two heads up front, lion and bull, and a snake's head as the tail. In video games each head usually breathes a different kind of attack.

Game on,

The monster in the foreground and the 3 monsters in the background are all exp monsters. If you didn't see them there are 2 flying squids between the Baku and manticore.

terribly sorry to nit-pick....but thats not a manticore.....

"She [Ekhidna] bore the Khimaira, who snorted raging fire, a beast great and terrible, and strong and swift-footed. Her heads were three: one was that of a glare-eyed lion, one of a goat, and the third of a snake, a powerful drakon. But Khimaira was killed by Pegasos and gallant Bellerophon. But she also, in love with Orthos, mothered the deadly Sphinx .. and the Nemeian Lion." -Theogony 319-327

again....sorry...just bored and nothing better to do

Hmmm .... also just a bit of nit-picking but the Manticore has the Head of a Lion and the Tail of a scorpion not sure about the other bits but certainly only 1 head
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 22 2004 at 8:58 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The funny thing about the huge Baku are that they look like they are ice skating when they walk around. I guess they didn't put too much work into their animations...
Baku
# Aug 22 2004 at 12:42 AM Rating: Default
The Baku is a fairly common monster from the first few zones of OOW. There are a few that are raid mobs but as is typical now a days most of them are exp mobs.

It should be obvious, but raid mobs NEED a more than a group of people to kill(usually being a few groups) while regular mobs can usually be taken down by a single group or less.

That is a Baku, they are a little larger than Hill Giants, with big ol' names to boot.

# Aug 20 2004 at 7:04 PM Rating: Default
To me, it looks like a cross between a Manticore and a Chiamera.

If it'd what i think it is, it's a raid encounter mob.
