Its rather ambiguous. While the initial translation used the term "demon beast" it was later requested to be changed to "dark beast" as it simply was meant to refer to mysterious beasts beyond regular human understanding. That the "goat" personality is related to the baphomet, the snake portion acts like a lamia etc. indicates that the chimaera is made up of different monsters rather than mamono realm beasts/animals. In turn this means the other combinations they are mentioned to sometimes occur in could potentially include something similar to your idea.
