The Chimera is an enemy from Final Fantasy IV. It absorbs all three primary elements and is powerful at the time the party faces it. It is best to quickly take it out before it can use Blaze, which deals massive Ice-elemental damage to the party if left alone long enough. It is susceptible Petrify, so using Medusa Arrows will help, as well as the Medusa Sword, if available. Using Jump, casting Quake and summoning Titan all can defeat a Chimera.
