A chimera is about 5 feet tall at the shoulder, nearly 10 feet long, and weighs about 4,000 pounds. A chimera's dragon head might be black, blue, green, red, or white.
Chimeras can speak Draconic but seldom bother to do so, except when toadying to more powerful creatures.
The chimera prefers to
surprise prey. It often swoops down from the sky or lies concealed until it charges. The dragon head can loose a
breath weapon instead of biting. Several chimeras attack in concert.
Breath Weapon (Su): A chimera's
breath weapon depends on the color of its dragon head, as summarized on the table below. Regardless of its type, a chimera's
breath weapon is usable once every 1d4 rounds, deals 3d8 points of
damage, and allows a DC 17 Reflex save for half
damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.
To determine a chimera's head color and
breath weapon randomly, roll 1d10 and consult the table below.

Carrying Capacity: A
light load for a chimera is up to 348 pounds; a medium load, 349-699 pounds, and a heavy load, 700-1,050 pounds.
