Chimera

 Know someone who crossed paths with a chimera once. Even managed to kill it, believe it or not. Told me that during the entire fight he was highly uncertain of which head to look it. Probably pissed his pants, he did.  

-Moyrin Daldensfell, monster hunter of the Order of the Burning Sword

Chimeras are large, powerful creatures with the body of a lion and three heads. One of a lion and a goat, and a snake as tail.

They are tough creatures to kill, as each of the three heads has to be chopped off in order to fully kill the beasts. If it loses only one head and manages to win the fight, it will regenerate the head that was lost. This process can take years, in which the chimera is in a weakened, vulnerable state.

Chimeras inhabit old ruins and abandoned castles and are highly territorial. They will attack any who venture to close to their home. Chimeras mate once in their entire life, during the spring they meet up with a chimera of the opposite gender and mate. Afterwards the male departs, and the female takes care of the offspring until its ready to fend for itself.

Chimeras are highly vulnerable to fire and potions such as 'Aerwynion' or 'Burning Touch' which causes a burning effect upon impact with the brew. Monster hunters create these potions and throw them at the chimera they are hunting.
