Etymology
The chimera is a fire-breathing monster, one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. It is commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail in Greek mythology. In modern usage, the term chimera is often taken to mean any sort of hybrid between two or more species.
In the Japanese release, the creature is called "Trinity" referring to its three heads.
In the German release, the creature is called "Hades Wächter," meaning "Hades Guardian." This could stem from Cerberus, the three-headed guard-dog of Hades.
