Chimera (mythology)
The most common description of the chimera comes from Homer's Iliad, in which the creature is said to have the head, arms, and legs of a lion, the body of a goat, and tail of a snake. It is also believed to breathe fire and be female, despite the mane adorning the lions head. The chimera was said to be incredibly vicious and powerful, especially since as one single creature, it possessed the abilities of three separate animals.
