Chimaeras are rare Greek magical creatures with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a dragon. They are extremely dangerous and bloodthirsty. There is only one known instance of a successful killing of a Chimaera, and the wizard died soon afterwards when he fell from his winged horse because he was exhausted. Chimaera eggs are classified as Class A Non-Tradeable Goods by the Ministry (FBAZ).
