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.

| Description | Blazing-breathed mountain birds of the chimaera family who are tough against fire, and may lay some good eggstras when licked. Their sepia tone puts people in a misty-eyed mind of yesteryear, but they themselves are young, dump, and full of fun. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
