Explanation:

The Chimera (Chímaira) is a hybrid being of Greek mythology with the ability to throw flames through its nose. It was also the sibling of Lerna's Hydra, Cerberus, and other mythological monsters.

The Chimera was a figure with the body of a lion, and three heads, one also of lion, one of goat and one of dragon. This scary monster still had a pair of wings and a tail, which was actually a snake's.

Though such an amazing monster, the Chimera was treated like a pet by the king of Caria, but one day she escaped and went to live on a Lycian mountain.
