chi·me·ra Audio Help /kɪˈmɪərə, kaɪ-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ki-meer-uh, kahy-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural -ras.
1. (often initial capital letter) a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.
2. any similarly grotesque monster having disparate parts, esp. as depicted in decorative art.
3. a horrible or unreal creature of the imagination; a vain or idle fancy: He is far different from the chimera your fears have made of him.
4. Genetics. an organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues, as an organism that is partly male and partly female, or an artificially produced individual having tissues of several species.
I'm going to go with # 2 because the Goat man is supposedly made up of different animal parts depending on the legend and in what region.
Submitted for August's TMSH # 4 - Gargoyle or Chimera
