'''Chimeras''' are [[Taken]] entities that appear to be former [[Fallen]] [[Servitor]]s fused with living flesh. They appear in the [[Dreaming City]], [[Gambit]], and [[The Reckoning]].

==Overview==
Chimeras appear to be horrific amalgamations of Fallen Servitor components and living flesh. In place of the central "eye" of a Servitor is a gaping maw, lined with rows of fangs. The exterior of the creature is covered with numerous translucent tentacles reminiscent of the appearance of other Taken.

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.

In the final mission of the Forsaken campaign, [[The Guardian]] must defeat a chimera named [[Voice of Riven]] which has been summoned by [[Uldren Sov]].

==Gameplay==
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.

==Trivia==
*The Legendary Emblem ''Primeval Prime'' suggests that these Chimeras might have been former [[Prime Servitor]]s.
**This would be further supported by Variks' question to Fikrul, if the latter had betrayed [[Kaliks Prime]] to the Taken, which went missing during the [[Reef Wars]].
*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.
*Chimeras vaguely resemble Cacodemons from the 2016 first-person shooter [[wikipedia:Doom (2016 video game)|Doom]], both in appearance and abilities.
*The organic tissue of Chimeras resemble that of the [[Achlyophage Symbiote]]; it is unknown whether there is a connection between the two.
**It is also possible that the flesh may have been former [[Fallen]], that was horrifyingly combined with that Servitor, while being Taken, however no proof has been given for this.
