 Chimera 

Species: Chimera Species

Habitat: Wastelands, Volcanic Mountains

Disposition: Lustful, Ferocious

Diet: Meat

Unlike most mamono, a chimera has two distinct heads, a normal head and a secondary head which is basically a snake for a tail. Much like a manticore, a chimera primarily has lion-like traits although they lack wings and have goat-like horns on their heads instead. Capable of breathing “liquid-fire” almost as hot as dragon-fire and possessing poisonous secondary heads for tails, chimeras are terrifying hunters.

Unlike the sadistic manticores, chimeras do not take pleasure from terrifying their prey and are considerably more straightforward when it comes to stating their desire for a human husband. On the other hand they are even more aggressive when they attack compared to manticores which makes them almost as infamous as a result. It is said that their prowess in combat is so great that the safest way to defeat them would be to use ranged attacks from above while in the air well away from their “liquid-flames” and poisonous bites. One reason why chimeras are exceptionally dangerous is because both heads share their respective senses of sight, smell, taste and hearing thus making them very difficult to approach undetected. Also, their secondary heads are just as capable of spitting “liquid-fire” as their primary heads, thus allowing a chimera to attack both directions at once with terrifying accuracy. Thankfully enough, chimeras are more likely to simply destroy clothing and equipment with their “liquid-flames” as opposed to literally burning someone alive.

Despite being related to manticores, and being arguably the true representative to the main chimera species, chimeras do not use their secondary heads for sexual intercourse. On the other hand, they do use their tails to paralyze their victims by biting them and they are not above using their strong tails as a means of restraining their victims. In addition, it is possible for a man to decipher a chimera’s true feelings by observing her secondary tail, including its surprising array of facial expressions for a snake-like head. One fact to remember is that while a chimera has two distinct heads, the mamono ultimately only has one personality although the secondary head could act as an outlet of her subconscious thoughts.
