Chimeras

The simplest way of explaining Chimeras is that they are yet another of Koulla's creations, said to be incredibly close to the goddess herself.

Overview
A mismatch of various different animals, it's almost as if the goddess couldn't quite decide on which beast she liked the best, so she chose them all. At its very basics, it has the body of a lion; from the fluff of a mane down to the tall. Though, despite the mane, it should be noted that all Chimeras are female. Though that isn't exactly what makes a Chimera a Chimera. From between their shoulder blades sprouts the head of a goat. Then to top it all off, in place of a typical lion tail, is that of a snake, fangs and all.

Chimeras, for the most part, have no real interest in humans. Those who have encountered one had reported that the monster does seem rather...Uninterested of any type of human interaction. Whether that's because humans aren't their first choice of food or not is up for debate. But that isn't to say that Chimeras are a peaceful creature. They are quite the foe indeed; with all the strength of a lion, the cunning of a goat, and the venom of a snake.

Mythology
These mismatched creatures are said to be the messengers of Koulla, herself. That to see one in the flesh, and live to tell the tale, means that you have earned to goddess' favor somehow, someway.

But then again, there are others who say the creature is, all in all, a bad omen. There have been many tales of wherever the creature goes that disaster will soon follow after; ranging from earthquakes to erupting volcanoes.
