The Chimera is a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia comprising of two parts of more than one animal. According to the Greek mythology, it is usually depicted as a lion with the head of a goat arising from its back and was one of the off spring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monstrers as Cerberus and Lernaean Hydra.

However, in this drawing, I depicted a lion with the head of a dragon arising from its neck, about to unleash fire. I also gave the creature a wing and a tail that ends with a snake's head.

The appearce of a Chimera is an Omen for disaster!
