Ocean Chimera

The Ocean Chimera is an Aquatic Variant of The Chimera from greek mythology that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: Worlds Clashing. The Ocean Chimera was created not by The Demogorgon but instead his creations The Merrows which found and then Transformed Pirates who were worthy into these sea beasts. They were created as guardians of the ocean reefs and would consume any corrupted Hippocampus that approached them. They also can be seen on land to bask for a bit. They were first encountered after Tolup the Morph Slime Accidentally attracted some because he grew the face of a hippocampus to fire a projectile at another enemy.

## Biology

The Ocean Chimera is a large Marine hybrid animal with the body of a leopard, Face of a Ferocious Asian lion which its mane is the same as Lion fish frills and fins, The head of a Sea Dragon similar to the Loch Ness Monster, The other head a confusing cuttlefish with Starry eyes, Shark fins for wings, the tail ends in the head of a moray eel. The Ocean Chimera has four brains which all have four souls controlling them equally and they team up to survive together. The Plesiosaurid head is able to use Echolocation to help find the prey in which the cuttlefish head will change its Pygmintation to hypnotize the prey into confusion before the lion head Crunches down on them to kill the delicious meal. The main head will then feed the other 3 heads which the food is shredded and then used to regenerate the heads if they have taken damage. If prey try to escape or ambush the monster then the Moray Eel head which on rare conditions can be a Sea Krait head will attack the enemy from behind and destroy them with it's second row of teeth or poison. The Ocean Chimera also has an Orca fin on it's spine which helps it show it's emotions. They reach a length DOUBLE that of the Land chimera which has a length of 10 meters long and 6 meters tall with a wing/finspan of 15 meters wide. It weighs as much as an Adult Dragon(Around 4,500 Metric Tons).

## Abilities

Hybrid Anatomy: The Ocean Chimera like it's smaller Greek Counterpart is a hybrid of multiple animals. Due to this it has multiple consciousnesses and has to thus feed them too.

Flight: Despite the size of their fins, these can allow it long periods of gliding and flight, their fins are similar shaped to plane wings which allows their bodies to fly through the air.

Pumping Air Organs: Their gills have a special organ in them which allows them to propel themselves even faster similar to a squid. These can be used in short bursts and must recharge every 6 seconds.

Blubber AND fur: Under water the Ocean Chimera has a layer of blubbery fat which helps keep the animal warm in cold climates but in warmer climates or basking on land has it push out a layer of fur which is able to absorb heat which the blubbery fat later uses for warmth.

Venom Mane: The Mane of this animal is a similar shape to that of a Lion fish which is able to inject venom into it's prey's body like the real lion fish except this is also a Neurotoxin which stops it's prey from physically attacking it.

Claws: The claws of the Ocean Chimera are able to allow it to climb up the side of sea vessels and vertical cliffsides.

Moray Eel/Sea Krait tail: The Tail of the Animal in Moray Eel form has a second row of teeth which it uses for a double bite as well as some individuals having the tail of a Sea Snake/Krait which is highly venomous with it's bite. The Tail itself also has suction cups that normal Sea Kraits have which allows them to stick to surfaces so it can stay put.

Echolocation: The Plesiosaurid head on it's side where a dragon head would be is able to use a special area in it's cranium to use Echolocation similar to a Dolphin which maps the surroundings out with the sound that bounces back. This allows it to also navigate better at night aiding the lion face.

Hypnosis: The Cuttlefish head in contrast to the Plesiosaurid head is able to wave two of it's Tentacles around while changing its Chromatophores in order to make a hypnotic pattern which combined with the starry look of it's eyes puts aggressive enemies in a Euphoric and confused state which allows the lion face to bite down on them.

Ink Clone Escape: Much like in the real world, the Cuttlefish head is able to Wrap Mucus like Ink in a Similar shape to the rest of the chimera to leave an inky clone the same size of itself which in real life is called a Pseudomorph which allows it to avoid an incoming attack.

Whirlpool: Using Hydrokinesis in a Minor dosage allows it to create a whirlpool around it which it can use to sink small boats to get the people on board.

Telepathy: The Ocean Chimera can communicate with both more of it's kind, The Merfolk, The Merrows, and as well as the great prince of hell The Demogorgon.

Intelligence: The Ocean Chimeras have the combined intelligence of 4 Strong minded Pirates from back when they set sails and got easily lured by treasure.

Acid Breath: The Plesiosaurid head is able to breathe a cone of acid similar to that of Black Dragons only these are strong enough to melt rocks which is exactly why the Plesiosaurid head is seen eating rocks and coral in order to keep their numbers in check. This acid is stronger then Hydrochloric acid and can bite through everything but Solid Gold.
