Chimera

Description
The Chimera is a mythic age myth unit granted to worshippers of Artemis. The powerful jaws of their lion head grants them a strong melee hack attack. Chimerae possess a powerful special attack, whereby their snake tail lunges forward and spews fire over the enemy. This is an area of effect attack that damages many enemies at once. Due to the nature of their special attack and their general effectiveness against most types of unit, Chimerae need little management in order to be effective.

Like all myth units, the Chimera gains bonus damage against human units and other myth units, but can be easily slain by heroes.

The Flames of Typhon improvement turns Chimerae into Chimerae Tyrants, with increased attack, hit points and special attack damage.

Appearance
Chimerae appear impressive; they are far larger than most units and have three heads - one of a goat, one of a golden-maned lion, and one of a fire-breathing serpent.
