Chimera is one of the bosses that can appear in the Corpse.

Behavior

In its first phase, Chimera will slowly chase the player while using the following attacks:

• Spawns a Sick Boom Fly and hurls it towards the player
• Spawns multiple Small Maggots
• Sprints towards the player, trailing creep
• Does two consecutive jumps, spurting out tears on the first impact and creating a swirl of ground rocks on the second
• Spits out a flurry of fast, small ipecac shots in the air
• Spits fast shots towards the player

Once its HP is reduced to 50%, its head will pop off, acting as a separate entity from now on. The body will still slowly chase the player. The two parts will use the following attacks:

• The body will:
  • Do a Cage-like rolling attack
  • Pick up the head, throwing it towards the player. When the head hits a wall it creates a burst of bullets
  • Go to a wall, fire a Brimstone shot away from the wall, spurting out Cage-colored tears in every direction in a Monstro's Lung-like pattern
• The head will:
  • Do a hop and then slide towards the player trailing creep
  • Fire three parallel chains of bullets that move in a sine wave-like pattern
  • Fire five parallel chains of three bullets
  • Do a Dingle-like triple charge, trailing creep
  • Spawn Small Maggots
  • Charge towards the player trailing creep, upon missing and hitting a wall or rock, blood bullets will scatter randomly

Trivia

• Chimera has the body of The Cage with the head of a Gurgling.

• The Chimera was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature, usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head.
• The term Chimera is also used to describe an organism formed with multiple separate genetic codes. This phenomenon occurs when multiple fertilized eggs merge during the pregnancy or after a transplant operation when the host and giver's codes coexist.
