Characteristics

Fiery feathered, floating, flappy beasts with perpetually fluttering wings that keep them afloat and allow the Hocus chimaera to breathe a fearsome fire on all adventurers in a single swoop. They bolster their fire-belching ability with knowledge of different spells depending on the game, including healing allies and debilitating their foes.
