Chimera DemonThis is a featured page

The Chimera, the name stemming from the Greek word "χίμαρος" or "Khimaros" (She-Goat) was, according to Greek mythology, amonstrous fire breathing creature composed of the parts of three animals; a lion, a serpent, and a goat. Usually depicted by Greek artists as a lion with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tale ending in a snakes head, the Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon (last son of Gaia) and Enchidna (Mother of all monsters), sibling to creatures such as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. Though the description above is the most common, the term "Chimera" has come to mean any creature that is the combined parts of two or more animals.
The Chimera demon is a dangerous and rare shapeshifter. They originate in theMediterraneanarea, but can sometimes be found in large cities especially in Asia. These creatures are incredibly skilled shapeshifters, they can manifest in any form they choose. This makes them very dangerous as they can mimic loved ones, allies or human beings. They are prized by demonologists for this ability. They don't need to take a defined shape, they can expand and change any part of their body that they wish but they usually have a normal shape that they stay in. They are employed by demonologists in a number of ways, from muscle to use as spies. They use their ability to hunt for food. They accomplish this by taking the shape of it's prey and infiltrating the group. They then change to a more formidable shape in the midst of the prey, catching them off guard. If seen one should attack or get away, they may take the form of a loved one, so use a safe word. an example of this is telling your ally or fellow hunter a 'challenge' such as "Ice pick", and have the other respond with a 'countersign', such as "demon". this will assure that the other is indeed your partner and not animpostor.
