Chimeras | Chimeras are massive targets that are always the focus of combat whenever they appear. Their main attack option consists in an amplified version of the Servitor Eye, a slow traveling explosive called Eversion that deals devastating [[Void]] damage. Their secondary attack consists in a swarm of Axion Dart-like projectiles called Seeker Burst. These seekers are much larger and more resilient that Axion Darts, are fired in groups of three or four, and deal considerable [[Kinetic]] damage with high knockback. Some Chimeras fire them freely, while others open their shells awaiting to be struck before unleashing their Seekers. To anyone foolish enough to move close to them, Chimeras can deliver a melee ground blast with high damage and knockback. | ||
Chimeras float around slowly, relying on the impenetrable thickness of most of their shell to protect them from damage. Their weak spot is their central eye-mouth, with the flesh around it taking reduced damage, and the rest of the body mitigating it even more. Being [[Ultra]] enemies, Chimeras can also summon hordes of combatants, usually other Taken, as support. In addition, they often have other defensive or offensive abilities, such as creating immunity Blights, or controlling pools of damaging liquid matter. | |||

*The term "Chimera" refers to a beast from Greek mythology, which had the head of a lion, the body of a goat and tail of a serpent. The term is also used in biology, to refer to an organism containing cells with different DNA. Both meanings are relevant in describing the Chimera in ''Destiny,'' as it appears to be a monstrous hybrid of multiple different types of being. | *The term "Chimera" refers to a beast from Greek mythology, which had the head of a lion, the body of a goat and tail of a serpent.
