For the monster class in Dragon Quest VII, see Chimaera (class).

The Chimaera (formerly Wyvern) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the original game, it is a monster with the body of a serpent and the wings and head of a bird.

Characteristics

The standard chimaera has what appears to be a vulture's head with a ring of downy feathers around its neck. Its body is serpentine but also somewhat bloated, making it look more grub-like than snake-like. Its wings are feathered and constantly beat to keep the creature airborne.

Having appeared many times throughout the series, chimaeras have proven themselves to be formidable creatures, often having great potential for strength, magic, and natural skills such as breathing fire and ice. They can be terrible creatures to face in battle and terrific allies to have at one's side.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

Introduced along with the first installment, chimaeras (then Wyverns) are likely to be encountered when first approaching Hauksness.

Cosmic chimaeras look just like their normal kin, but are composed of strange colors such as pinks and purples.

They have a rather high opinion of themselves, and those they meet are unlikely to merit more than a momentary glance.
