Physical Appearance
Egg
Hatchling to Adult
The Chimeragon is a medium-sized, four-legged dragon. It has a relatively small head, with a long snout. It has two straight and thick horns on the top of its head, which are orientated towards the back of the dragon. It has two large ear-like appendages — much like a Night Fury's — as well as four other small appendices, two on each side of its head. It has a relatively short body and tail, which are covered in big plates, similar to an armadillo. It also has a pair of large wings with feather-like scales and sharp edges. Its legs are short and stubby, with four round claws on its feet.
Titan Wing
Abilities
Rapid Growth
Chimeragons have extremely rapid growth spurts, occurring in a matter of minutes. Along with an increase in size, the dragon also gains new abilities.
Due to their rapid growth, Chimeragons have an extremely short life span of only a week.
Rebirth
When a Chimeragon dies, it transforms into an egg, which hatches into the same dragon, with a different coloration. However, it is unknown if the dragon has any memories of its past life.
Firepower
Chimeragons have multiple types of firepower. They are able to breath ice as hatchlings, lightning as Broad Wings, and fire as Titan Wings.
Speed and Agility
Chimeragons are pretty agile dragons, able to spin sideways in the air very fast.
Strength and Combat
Chimeragons are quite powerful for their size, as shown by Patch, who is able to carry a human on his back with no signs of struggle, even when he is spinning in the air.
Behavior and Personality
The Chimeragon appears to be playful, as it likes sticking its tongue out of its mouth and do flips in the air. Its vocalizations sound similar to that of the whines and sighs of dogs.

Trivia
- The Chimeragon's name is a portmanteau of "Chimera" and "dragon".
- In Greek mythology, the Chimera is a monster that is part lion, part goat, and part snake with the ability to breathe fire.
- Thus far the term seems to have been used to explain that this dragon is a hybrid between several dragon species. This means that "Chimeragon" is likely a sort of nickname for this kind of dragon, not an official one. This is why this dragon could be classified as an unknown dragon.
- The Chimeragon greatly resembles a Titan Wing Woolly Howl in terms of physical appearance. It also seems to have Rumblehorn horns and Deathgripper armor. It also has ear appendages similar to those of a Light Fury.
