Description
"a thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle,and snorting out the breath of the terrible flame of bright fire"
(Kerenyi 1959:82).
"She was the mother of Chimaera who breathed raging fire, a creature fearful,
great, swift-footed and strong, who had three heads, one of a grim-eyed lion;
Β in her hinderpart, a dragon; and in her middle, a goat, breathing forth a fearful blast of blazing fire.
Her did Pegasus and noble Bellerophon slay"
Β (hosiod's theogony, 319-325)
my entry for 's contest featuring all her main cast plus Yggdrasil

well that is a terifying amalgamation I wonder how long it will take for us to eventually get a chimera pokemon

the question is will it be made of pokemon body parts? or just regular animal body parts

maybe dog and a little girl *if you know that reference this will seem very evil*

but back on topic I am really surprised we don't have a chimera like pokemon yet but then again we only started to branch into other cultures outside of japan for pokemon around gen v
π: 0 β©: 1
how about Ludicolo, Maractus, Lucario?
π: 0 β©: 1
very true but a lot of those have place in japanese pop culture and maractus was a gen v pokemon and lucario could take ques from kistunes
π: 0 β©: 1
not maractus... uhhh, what is the other cactus
i thought carious is jackal?
π: 0 β©: 1
it has basis on jackal as the main inspiration but if you're refering to cacnea the barrel cactus are common houseplants in many countries japan in cluded and it's not reallyΒ mythic creature same for lucario

That thing is freakin' terrifying! But it is also well-drawn!
I'm actually surprised at how different your artstyle is here. I guess you tried to emulate and it looks pretty good, but now I'm curious to see what other styles you can use.
