Original Mythology
Chimera was a female monster in Greek mythology.  The child of Typhon and Echidna, she was killed by the hero Bellerophon, who rode Pegasus.  She was said to be part lion, part goat and part snake and could breath fire.  Often this is represented as a lions body with a goat head coming out of the back, and a snake for the tail.  There are still vestiges of the original form in my version. Though many aspects are more muted than in the original mythology.
