Chimera: A hybrid-wesen that's considered a cousin of the Manticore. They go back as far as Ancient Greece and perhaps farther than that.

When woged: They develop lion qualities in the face much like a Lowen or Manticore, including a long mane and a very cat-like face. However they also gain subtle goat features in the face as well, including ram horns. They grow a thin layer of fur over their entire body and their feet become hoof-like. They grow a long tail that ends in the head of a snake. The scale color pattern varies from Chimera to Chimera, usually as a contrast to their fur color. The fangs of the snake are extremely toxic, although it doesn't kill as swiftly as the Manticore's stinger.

Behavior: Similar to Manticores where they are usually seen in battle and have little to no fear of dying. They can be quite aggressive and territorial.

Powers: Besides the snake tail, they are very strong and fast, but they're more known for stealthy pounce attacks that take advantage of their superior strength like many big cats. If confronted by one it is ideal to sever the tail if possible. Removing the tail won't kill the Chimera, but it will make the ensuing battle a little easier.
