Goat Spellcasting. The Goat is a 5th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). The Goat has the following wizard spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, ray of frost, Mage hand
1st level (4 slots): magic missile, shield, ice knife
2nd level (3 slots): misty step, suggestion
3rd level (2 slots): counterspell, fireball
Multiturn. The chimera has three turns in initiative. One for the lion, one for the goat and one for the Dragon. The lion controls the walking speed, the goat can cast spells, and the dragon controls the flight.
Lion 15 AC - 100 hp
Dragon 17 AC - 80 hp
Goat 13 AC - 65 hp
When one of the heads dies, it can no longer take actions and the chimera can no longer use the movement type associated with that head.
Dragon Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage.
Lion Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
Dragon Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon head exhales fire in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 31 (7d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
[spell]misty step can only be used as long as the goat head is alive.
The reaction spell [spell]shield can be used as long as the goat head is alive. The plus 5 bonus to AC can be applied to any one of the heads, and lasts until the end of the goat's turn.
Description
A chimera is a vile combination of goat, lion, and dragon, and features the heads of all three of those creatures. It likes to swoop down from the sky and engulf prey with its fiery breath before landing to attack.
I recognize this monster stat block is very unorthodox, but this was the only way I could make it work based on my vision. This monster is heavily inspired by the chimera from Dragon's Dogma 1

Posted Apr 27, 2024I recognize this monster stat block is very unorthodox, but this was the only way I could make it work based on my vision. This monster is heavily inspired by the chimera from Dragon's Dogma 1.
If anyone has ways I can improve the design, I welcome productive criticism in good faith. This is one of my first homebrew monsters, and certainly the first I have ever published.
I have no idea if I have the challenge rating right though, so if anyone has any idea what CR this thing could be lmk. XD
Other than that, Enjoy my monster!
