'''Chimeras''' are [[Taken]] entities | '''Chimeras''' are [[Taken]] entities that appear to be former [[Fallen]] [[Servitor]]s fused with living flesh. They appear in the [[Dreaming City]] and [[Gambit]]. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Chimeras | Chimeras retain the characteristic outer casing of a Servitor, but instead of the typical Servitor "eye", the front of the Chimera is dominated by a fanged maw embedded in a mass of lumpy, tumor-like flesh. This organic tissue seems to cover the central Servitor core, and tendrils of it can be seen growing across the outer plates as well. Ethereal tentacles reminiscent of the appearance of other Taken cover the surface of the Chimera, and can be used to manipulate objects. | ||
It is currently unknown how Chimeras are created, although the existence of [[Ascendant Primeval Servitor]]s suggest they have existed among the Taken for quite some time. | It is currently unknown how Chimeras are created, although the existence of [[Ascendant Primeval Servitor]]s suggest they have existed among the Taken for quite some time. | ||
Chimeras | ==Abilities== | ||
Chimeras generally possess variations of the same abilities Servitors use, such as an eye blast, melee and flight. They also have two new powers. The first launches a burst of three to four Axion Darts like [[Taken Centurion]]s, only the Darts are larger. The second has them spawn numerous miniature Taken [[Blight]]s, either a single one or up to four at a time, that shield the Chimera and makes them immune to damage until the Blights are destroyed. | |||
They do not possess the ability to teleport or buff nearby enemies like regular Servitors, with the exceptions of [[Inomina, Plague of the Well|Inomina]] in the [[Blind Well]] who can teleport, and the Ascendant Primeval Servitor in [[Gambit]] whose Blights can make other [[Primeval (Taken)|Primevals]] immune at the same time as itself. | |||

*The term "Chimera" refers to a beast from Greek mythology, which had the head of a lion, the body of a goat and tail of a serpent. The term is also used in biology, to refer to an organism containing cells with different DNA. Both meanings are relevant in describing the Chimera in ''Destiny,'' as it appears to be a monstrous hybrid of multiple different types of being. | *The term "Chimera" refers to a beast from Greek mythology, which had the head of a lion, the body of a goat and tail of a serpent.
