Chimera
The Chimera is based on a Greek myth, as a multi-headed (and bodied) creature, and has appeared in almost every FF game. The number and type of heads vary from game to game, although it typically boasts that of a lion, a goat, and an dragon. Like its form, it uses a variety of attacks, including water attacks like the Blue Magic "Aqua Breath".

The Chimera shares the same type as the cockatrice in this game.
CP: In times now ancient, mages worked magicks upon captured cockatrices to effect the eldritch creation of these twisted beings. They are possessed of a singularly wicked intellect, which they use to its full extent for the infliction of pain upon their enemies. Their wings shine as the rainbow, each bearing a blazing red eye marking that shifts from side to side as they move, these being used to discourage foes larger than they, and for purposes of attracting a mate during the mating season. |
