Chimera Types

There are six Chimera types:

Chimera features manifest in the form of the characteristics of the animal they were developed from. At first glance, most appear to be regular human beings. However, a closer look reveals just how ever so slightly uncanny they appear in comparison to regular human beings, even if they have what could be considered "basic" characteristics that could easily be hidden. One interesting trait of chimeras though: they do not have tails. It was bred out of them very early in development.

The most common are bovidae types. Most bovidae type chimeras are characterized by their "sheep horns," for both males and females. Many have an extra set of "sheep ears" as well. The rarest are the hominidae type, as it is believed that they were entirely destroyed early in the development of the chimeras' existence.

Felidae type chimeras distinctly have an extra set of ears of their own that function as such. Felidae chimeras are also the only type of chimera to have not just one life, but nine lives. Felidae chimeras have the ability to die eight times and return back, except for if the death in question is especially brutal or inflicted upon their skull. They are seen as the most honorable type of chimera amongst the chimera community for this reason, and are highly sought after by researchers and organ harvesting plants as they can be used more than once.

Muridae chimeras are sought after for repeat research purposes as well, given that they are descendants of lab rats. Canidae chimeras are lauded for their loyalty to the program, and are the least likely to push back or argue against being used as a test subject due to their good nature. Muridae, canidae, and suidae chimeras' characteristics are primarily in their faces; they bear a striking resemblance to the animals they descend from, while still maintaining their human-likeness.
