Looks like it might be based on the hydra model. As for it not looking like a chimera, well aren't WoW chimeras (or at least Azerothian ones) meant to be natural beasts, pals of the Night Elves? Originally Posted by -Dalliah-

This, on the other hand, seems to have been stitched up by one of Nefarian's lackeys while most chimeras at least look like they grew that way. Seems quite messily done but Nefarian's lot don't seem too concerned with style or panache, they prolly just glued some bits of hydra on some cats or something. That's assuming it is Chimaron.

Reminds me of the metroid queen:

Based on the name I'm guessing... a Chimera? Lol. Probably a creation of Nefarian's personal alchemist guy (forget his name). Also probably the one he refers to as "an unsightly pest"

Who has Godzilla's phone number?
Also, more actual chimera.

Well, models are often named by their concept, not what they actually are called in-game. For example, the wretched model is called a "crackelf"(lol), or Bolvar being called "lavaman". This creature, w/e it may be called in-game, will likely be more befitting of the traditional chimera. That is, a mixed up creature made by an alchemist. That is, traditional in fantasy, not in mythology. Originally Posted by Mc89

Im 100% ositive its going to be Chimeron, though, the concept art looks way better than the in-game model currently. Originally Posted by Nuke1096

I'm guessing it might be Chimaron who is one of the new bosses in Blackwing Descent.BeeeeeeeoooooOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOO-FFFSSSHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
My attempt at being less of a pessimist was choosing Dawnbringer as my choice of server.
I regret somethings! (like setting this in my signature)

I quite agree, it probably is just the concept's working name. Originally Posted by Vorack

Obviously they won't back-pedal on the names of the "chimeras" in game already but instead have called the boss which probably uses the new model Chimaron. Now it might be the bosses name or it might just refer to any sort of one-off mix up monster.
