Beast Chimera

is an ancient cannibalistic Phantom who is Kamen Rider Beast's ally . Unlike Wizardragon, who was born from within Haruto, Beast Chimera was mysteriously imprisoned in the Beast Driver until it was discovered by Kosuke himself and entered his Underworld while forming a pact with the human, where in exchange for using his Mana, Beast must absorb the mana of defeated Phantoms for Chimera, or Kosuke will pay with his life for failing.
==Appearance==
Resembling a giant metallic black and gold lion, Beast Chimera is covered in body armor modeled after the four animals that Beast uses in his Mantles:
* Buffalo (red): Breastplate
* Falcon (orange): Right shoulder guard and wing.
* Dolphin (purple): Left shoulder guard and wing.
* Chameleon (green): Tail
==History==
A Phantom that was born long ago from a Gate in despair, the Beast Chimera was sealed within the Beast Driver with the item hidden away. But in the present, the Beast Driver was found by Kosuke who broke the seal and caused the manifestation Ghouls. The moment Kosuke used the Beast Driver at his insistence, Beast Chimera entered the human's Underworld and forces a pact on Kosuke, using him to hunt Phantoms to consume their magical energy.
But this pact has a negative effect as Kosuke would die if Beast Chimera can not consume the amassed Phantom mana needed for the human's life to be prolonged. Though Haruto offered to kill the Phantom to free him, since his actions of eliminating Phantoms and preventing the creation of new ones place him in danger, Kosuke turns down the offer on the grounds that Beast Chimera might be too much for Wizard to handle. Later, when Kosuke lost his Beast Driver, Beast Chimera was disappointed because he failed to hold up his end of the pact and now had to devour him despite being "a good lackey". However, Kosuke managed to retrieve the Beast Driver and use the Hyper Ring. Beast Chimera then revisited Kosuke in his Underworld. Much to Beast Chimera's surprise, Kosuke managed to get the Hyper Ring. As a gift, Beast Chimera lends Kosuke his power to activate Beast Hyper form. 
When Legion entered Haruto's underworld, Beast and Beast Chimera arrived to aid Wizardragon. Though, even the combined force of two Inner Phantoms could not defeat Legion. When Legion going to kill Beast Chimera, Wizardragon flew in to receive the attack. However, it costs Wizardragon's life. 
===Separation with Kosuke===
During the battle with Fueki during the the second Sabbath, Kosuke was close to defeat. Chimera appeared before him to boast that Kosuke had finally met his match, but Kosuke instead told Chimera he was going to let him eat all the mana he could stomach. Chimera warned Kosuke that there was no guarantee he wouldn't be eaten too, but Kosuke knew releasing Chimera was the only way to stop the sabbath and save Haruto and everyone else in the city. Kosuke stabs and destroys the belt and lets Chimera free who flies across the city eating all the mana and depowering the Sabbath before it could hurt anyone. Kosuke was ready to be eaten, however Chimera noted how amusing Kosuke had been and instead releases him from the pact before flying off to parts unknown. 
In the aftermath of Haruto's final showdown with Gremlin, Kosuke decided to go and track down Chimera, saying he just had to know more about him. Though he no longer had magic, he was accompanied by Yuzuru Iijima, on weekends when he wasn't at middle school. 
===Chimera Reunited===
Kosuke Nitoh, able to retrieve Chimera for research, used its power again to aid assistance to Haruto to save his Phantom, Wizardragon from being taken by Ogre. After Wizard destroyed Ogre, Kosuke was swallowed by the Utsubokazura Kaijin, with Haruto pursuing him to the Sengoku Period world of the Bujin Riders. After Kosuke was released, he and Haruto fought with the Armored Riders of Zawame City to defeat the forces of Bujin Gaim. Following the battle, Kosuke discovered that Chimera could feed on the fruits of the Helheim Forest as an alternative to mana.

==Notes==
*Chimera is the only Inner Phantom to be let out from the host and not kill its host.
*Chimera's existence was the first possible implication that Phantoms existed before the original Sabbath, later proven with the reveal that the original Sabbath was started by using four Ghouls, themselves minor Phantoms, as the pillars.
*Chimera is the only known being beyond Inves that seem to love the fruits of Helheim.
**Due to Kouta Kazuraba removing all of Helheim's flora onto the Planet of Helheim, and there being no more Phantoms, it is unknown what Chimera will end up eating if he's still with Kosuke currently.
