Chimera is a demon in the series.
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.
"Origin: Greece. A compound beast of many parts. It is the daughter of Echidna and Typhon , the god of the hot storm winds. She was originally a winged lion, but later the head of the goat and dragon were added. her final depiction was a three-headed beast with the tail of a snake. The name 'Chimera' is now used as a catch-all term for synthetic beasts." —Shin Megami Tensei A-Mode DDS Dictionary
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE [ edit | edit source]
Chimera's plug-in can acquired by players within the neutral route of the main episode after defeating Act 19's Cerberus boss. Players having followed other alignments can only obtain him by completing the Second Home Extra Dungeon and turning in one hundred of the neutral route's items. Chimera also appears alongside Genbu when he acts as a boss within Nakano 's gold level Stone Site instance. He is a special double-fusion of Hanuman and Qing Long or Dominion and Sparna .

Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 [ edit | edit source]
"A beast that is part lion, part goat, and part snake. In Greek mythology its father is the giant Typhon and mother the snake god Echidna. While in Lycia, the rampaging Chimera was slain by the mighty hero Bellerophon on his steed the Pegasus. To the Hittites, Chimera is a symbol representing the seasons, each animal part representing a different one. From its unique look, any new animal species that is genetically crossbred is also called a Chimera." —Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 Demonic Compendium
