Is hybrid a chimera
Chimeras are not the same as hybrids (some online sources erroneously define chimera as a hybrid). Hybrids have intermediate features and each cell is a mix of chromosomes from the parental species. Chimeras are a mix of genetically different cells to form a mosaic animal.
Did chimera exist
In 1953, a human chimera was reported in the British Medical Journal. A woman was found to have blood containing two different blood types. Apparently this resulted from her twin brother's cells living in her body. A 1996 study found that such blood group chimerism is not rare.
Is chimera good or bad
Role-playing. In the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons, the chimera is an evil-aligned creature which looks like a lion with leathery wings on its back. To either side of its lion's head is the head of a goat and the head of a dragon.
Is chimera a myth
The Chimera (also spelled Khimaira or Chimaera) was a monster in Greek mythology. It was a snake-tailed, goat- and lion-headed creature that breathed fire. This beast rampaged in Lycia before being slayed by the hero Bellerophon riding the winged horse Pegasus into battle.
How rare is chimera
Experts aren't quite sure how common natural chimeras are in the human population, as only 100 cases have been documented so far. However, the prevalence of natural human chimeras is hypothesized to be as high as 10%. If this estimate is true, most chimeras must not know that they're chimeric.
Can Chimera be killed

Still, the hero, "trusting in the signs of the gods", succeeded in killing the Chimera. Hesiod adds that Bellerophon had help in killing the Chimera, saying, "her did Pegasus and noble Bellerophon slay".

Is Chimera possible
Chimerism in humans can occur when a mom is pregnant with twins. If one embryo dies, the other one could possibly absorb its deceased twin's cells. Normally, in humans, you have cells with only your DNA, which is a basic understanding of genetics.

However, the mythographers Apollodorus (citing Hesiod as his source) and Hyginus both make the Chimera the offspring of Echidna and Typhon.
