Lore

The Chimera is a legendary fire-breathing monster from ancient Anatolian (Turkish) mythology, combining lion, goat, and serpent in one unnatural body. Ravaging Lycia until defeated by the hero Bellerophon riding Pegasus, it represents hybrid chaos, impossibility, and the triumph of heroism over monstrosity in Greek-influenced lore.
