Hireath Chimera

Few creatures in Hireath come as varied as the chimera. They can be found in all corners of the world, and come in sizes ranging from a housecat to a tiger. The larger breeds have difficulty flying, but the sheer power of their muscle more than makes up for the handicap. Wild chimeras tend to be rather aloof, and would rather hide from an equine than attack it, but incidents do occur. Domesticated chimeras are far more personable, though they still tend to be quite independant.
No one quite knows for sure how the chimera came to be, and different herds tend to tell different tales, but all agree that their appearance is quite unnatural, and therefore supernatural. Some say they are the creation of a mad wizard playing god, some say they are the product of an unholy union between beasts. Only the gods know for sure, however.
== Creation Rules ==
=== The Chimera will always: ===
* Be made from any reptile, any feline, and any hooved, horned creature, but all must be from similar ecosystems. (Allowances will be made for cold ecosystems due to reptile scarcity, but no rainforest/desert reptiles in this instance) 
* Have a feline front half, hooved creature back half, and tail, topline, wings and neck crest that are are reptilian.
* Have naturally-colored animal parts.
=== Chimeras can: ===
* Have eyes of any color, but the eyes of all heads must be the same color.
* Have a different personality for each head, but the body is controlled through a shared system (and will not attack itself).
* Occasionally be missing one head, but this is a severe enough injury that a wild Chimera would not survive.
* Be wingless, only if the reptile portion is a snake.
=== Chimeras can not: ===
* Have a head on its tail, or anywhere but the front of the animal.
