“	I designed this demon after the Imps, and I wrote the word 'Chimera' on his belly. I really like designs that have this kind of attitude, but some line-intensive designers may not agree with me. At this stage, I was honestly planning on incorporating every demon's name into their design.	”

Description

The Chimera is first encountered at the Gale Shrine. It is a large, tank like demon. It is based on a traditional kettle, with a tough outer shell that appears to be made of metal. It protects the Chimera from any damage until it is stunned.

Bestiary Entry

"Disguising itself as a kettle to fool onlookers, this creature is composed of parts from many others.
It is said to have been transformed from an ordinary kettle by evil.
It cannot be damaged when inside the kettle part.
A legend says that repeated hits make the color drain.
Then, all you have to do is slash it in two and watch it vanish."

Strategy

The Chimera has 3 main attacks, one where it takes a gulp from the flask on its side, breathing out a huge jet of flame, one where it lifts it's tail up as a whip and chases Amaterasu around the arena and one, the key attack to defeating the Chimera, where it hovers in the air, shooting scalding water as projectiles. The easiest way to defeat it is to evade all of its attacks wait for the third one, then Power Slash the projectiles back to him, knocking the Chimera down and dazing it, then Power Slash it again.

It is also easy to quickly stun the Chimera by using rapid-fire attacks from a Sub-Rosaries(excepting the Life Beads and the Resurrection Beads) or other strong Divine Instruments' attacks. Once the Chimera is stunned, it can be attacked or hit with Power Slash. However, if hit with a Divine Instrument, it will retaliate by erupting eight streams of scalding-hot water that descend in a small area around the Chimera. Use a Sub-Reflector Counterattack or Fleetfoot to evade the water, however the Sub-Reflector Counterattack requires much stricter timing than other occasions of counterattack.
