Chimera
A fire-breathing hybrid beast of lion, goat, and serpent.
Legend File
The Chimera is a monster made from contradiction: lion in front, goat in the middle, serpent behind, and flame issuing from its body. Bellerophon defeats it from the air with Pegasus, making the story feel like an early boss fight. Its name still means an impossible mixture, which is exactly why it belongs on a fantasy map.
Source Framing
Greek myth of the Chimera as a fire-breathing lion-goat-serpent hybrid in Lycia/Caria, slain by Bellerophon and Pegasus.
