Description[]
Chimera are violent creatures that are part lion, part goat, and part dragon. During the Main Character's fifth year, Professor Silvanus Kettleburn taught them and their fellow fifth-year students in Care of Magical Creatures how to care for Chimera.
If the Main Character adopts a chimera, they will bond and feed it. Eventually this will lead to reaching a Max Level with the creature.
During the Main Character's third year, Rubeus Hagrid and the Main Character lured a chimera to the Training Grounds, but was spotted by Argus Filch. He reported them to Professor Dumbledore, who asked them to talk about the incident. They later went to the Dark Forest in the Magical Creatures Reserve to observe and evaluate this Chimaera. Mrs Norris developed a bond with it, to Filch's surprise. Dumbledore then decided that the Chimaera was no harm and could be kept in the Reserve.
