Awesome articulation! And excellent modeling!

But what is a 'chimera'?

It's a creature from ancient Greek myths. Bellerophon kills this creature with the help of Pegasus.

You know, for quite a long time I have been wondering what a chimera was. I heard it, like four years ago, and have been wondering since (and was too lazy to look it up). Now it all makes sense.

This is one heck of a great MOC. The guy did a great, awesome, brilliant job of making it. While somewhat blocky, it looks very Legoesk as well as chimeraish.

Yes, that is a very cool creature and very well built too. I thought of making a chimera myself once, but the goat head sorta turned me off. Moko sure makes it work here, though. Hmmm, makes me want to see a battle between her and Anthoy's juvenile dragon. 8) Now all we need is a Ceberus...
Let us stop for a moment and ponder the signiture...





Ok, enough of that!
