Chimeras are three headed. Part lion, snake, and goat, it has the heads of a lion, goat and dragon and the body of a lion with a snake as its tail. If one is unlucky enough to encounter a chimera, they should run, if they values their life. A chimera leaps and claws at its prey, often taking less than five seconds to finish it off. However, there are still some who are brave enough to face a chimera. The hardest part about hunting a chimera is actually tracking one down, because chimeras are excellent hiders and only come out during the day. Even if you do manage to find one, you still need to bring it down. The best strategy in that case, however paradoxical, is staying at close range. That way, the chimera won't be able to use its leap attack. |
