Chimera được cho là một con quái vật xấu xa và đáng sợ. Loài vật này thở ra lửa, có đầu và thân của sư tử, đuôi là một con rắn. Trên lưng nó mọc ra một cái đầu dê và đầu rồng.
The Chimaera was a hybrid monster in Greek mythology, child of Typhoeus and Echidna and sibling of Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. It had the head and body of a lion, as well as the head of a goat that was attached to its back, and a tail that ended on a head of a snake.
It resided in Lycia, a place in Asia Minor, where it ravaged the lands with its fire breath. It was killed by Bellerophon, assisted by Pegasus, when the former was asked by King Iobates of Lycia. Bellerophon rode on Pegasus' back, who could fly, and shot arrows at the Chimera from above.
