chimaeras
Fire-breathing lion-goats
Chimaeras is a spelling variant of chimeras—mythological creatures combining parts from different animals, or by extension, impossible fantasies and wild illusions.
In biology, a chimera is an organism with genetically distinct cells.
The spelling chimaera, closer to the Greek original, appears more often in British English and scientific contexts, particularly for the cartilaginous fish also called ratfish or ghost sharks.
