Chimera

## Description

Chimeras are a kind of dragon, which can be called sub-dragons. But that’s for the two-headed ones. If they can get their third head, they will be as strong as a real gigantic dragon. And a four-headed chimera is a magical beast of the antique type, surely an existence of the tenth rank, and standing on the peak of this tenth rank.

Chimeras is referring to beings with mixed bodies originating from ancient times. In other words, irrelevant things put together gave birth to a new kind of creature.

There is such a legend. The four-headed chimeras’ monarchs, known as Chimera Emperors were the five-headed chimeras appearing in legends and acclaimed as demi-gods, venerated by all chimeras. As for the six-headed ones are said to be gods, gods of destruction of the same level as dragon gods. So in ancient times, six-headed chimeras were symbols of destruction and ruin.

Chimeras may have a lot of heads, but in practice they all share the same line of thoughts, which is to say that no matter how many heads they have, their thoughts will be the same.

## History

In ancient times, the dragon race was prosperous and ruled over the whole continent. That time was when dragons were the most tyrannical, not only greedy and violent, but also totally depraved. They show lust toward any kind of creature, and therefore, their uninhibited mating gave birth to many species of sub-dragons. For instance, the current beings known as Earth Dragons have such origins.

Chimeras are the same, a powerful kind of sub-dragons. The first time one appeared, it combined the extremely rarely seen poison elemental gigantic dragon and a magical beast of lizard species. Their posterity sustained variation, turning into poison and darkness dual-elemental two-headed dragons. But this chimera’s strength was inclined towards its darkness elemental lizard side, and maybe because these two bloodlines showed a very strong compatibility, two-headed chimeras started to become more and more numerous. After several thousand years of reproductions, due to the survival of the fittest, the race of darkness lizard gradually went extinct. And when poison dragons died out, the chimera race finally formed. Although these chimeras were far from being as powerful as their poison dragons ancestors, they succeeded their greed, and started attacking other races and invading, and established themselves in the whole continent.

Chimeras had a very great vitality, and while reproducing, their bloodlines started to show even more changes. At most, these changes were in the elemental aspect, and didn’t touch upon their appearance. They can be counted as one of the most well-known antique races, and after undergoing continuous evolutions, the chimera race gradually started to grow more powerful beings. Their power was calculated depending on the numbers of heads. Two-headed chimeras would at most reach the initial stages of the ninth rank. But three-headed chimeras were near the edge of the tenth rank, displaying strength close to gigantic dragons. Four-headed chimeras are known as dragon killers, and despite having dragon blood, their most favorite food is gigantic dragon. And, after reaching four heads, the chimeras’ total strength already exceeded gigantic dragons.
