History

In Greek mythology, Chimera is the offspring of Typhon and Echidna, the mother of beasts, and is the sibling of Cerberus and Orthrus. This monster breathes fire and is made up of parts from different animals; the general ones being the body and head of a lion, with a goat's head sprouting in the middle, and a snake's head for a tail. Other accounts include the Chimera being a three-headed animal, with a dragon being the third head.
