Oversized Chimera

Creature 12 (rare) — beast

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

The chimera is the archetypal example of an unnatural monster made up of a monstrous mix of wildly different component creatures: in this case, a lion, a dragon, and a goat. Wild, hateful, and hungry, it tries to eat any creature it sees, but sometimes a strong-willed master is able to compel a chimera to serve as a guardian or even a mount.

Abilities

Attack of Opportunity — Attack Of Opportunity
Three Headed — Any ability that would sever a chimera's head (such as a critical hit with a Vorpal Weapon ) severs one head at random. Losing a head doesn't kill a chimera (as long as it has one head left), but it does prevent it from making Strikes with the lost head or using the head's Breath Weapon.
Triple Opportunity — A oversized chimera gains 2 extra reactions each round that it can use only to make Attacks of Opportunity. It must use a different head for each reaction, and it can't use more than one on the same triggering action. If it loses one of its heads, it also loses one of these extra reactions.
Breath Weapon (arcane) — The oversized chimera breathes a 30-foot cone of fire that deals 13d6 fire damage to all creatures in the area (DC 32 Reflex save). The chimera can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Draconic Bite — An oversized chimera's dragon head deals an extra 3d6 fire damage (already included) .
Three-Headed Strike — The oversized chimera makes a Strike with its dragon jaws, lion jaws, and goat horns, each at a -2 penalty and targeting a different creature. These Strikes count as only one attack for the chimera's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after it has made all three attacks.
