If you were creating a chimeric creature, which would you go for?

From the lens Chimeras and Chimera Mythology.

Do you like the sphinx, the centaur, the minotaur, the manticore, the griffin, the mermaid? Or a different combination of creatures?

    Amazing lens! I think the chimera is my favorite mythological creature of all. Just the combination of animals astounds me.

    I love your lens! There's something so fascinating about such creatures and they always make the best stories. I love them all!

    I have just meandered through your article with lots of "ooh, I didn't know that . . " really beautiful pictures especially for me, the Griffin. If I had to create a creature it would be a Swink Half swan half mink. A bird that could really protect itself! With thanks and appreciation. Cathi x ps loved the big grey cat in your bio, it's beautiful.

    bird/snake/human

    A hybrid of a great white shark and a man would be nice!

    How about mixing human with cat and wolf, possibly cheetah as well, with eyesight of a hawk but eyes that are reptilian.....I would love to be like that myself.I'll get to be as such when genetic engineering ascends to higher levels ^_^

    I think snake and lion would be an interesting combo...but my favorite is the Greek Chimera! I am also fond of the fauns and the noble griffin.

    Excellent lens -- I don't know how I missed it before! Lensrolling to my mythical beasties Squidquiz. :)

    All I can think of is that funny line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the french guy calls Sir Robin a "pig dog". At least I think that's how it goes.
  • Greekgeek Oct 20, 2010 @ 5:30 pm | delete
    That's Schweinhund, an extremely vulgar word in German, which makes it even sillier... and also, as usual for Monty Python, bordering on bad taste. ;)

    And my captcha is pigzoom. Whee!

    Pegasus has to be my fav Chimera - am wondering if this lens would benefit from a Poll asking that exact question ;) Congrats on the Purple Star :)
  • jptanabe Oct 18, 2010 @ 3:54 pm | delete
    Thanks, I just added a poll!
  • missbat Sep 13, 2010 @ 1:33 am | delete
    I'd have to say Pegasus and the Sphinx are my favorites. Great lens!
  • Jun 13, 2010 @ 9:38 pm | delete
    The best for me is the merpeople and also the great sphinx. They are all awesome and great lens too! :)

    The Purple Star Trademark looks good at the top of your page; it really stands out.
  • BevsPaper Nov 1, 2009 @ 3:06 pm | delete
    Well look at that Purple Star glistening at the top of this page! Well deserved, my friend!

    Congratulations on your purple star!!

    Oh, I love this lens! Mythology always fascinates me.

    I like the centaur the best. At least in this picture I do :)

    I like them all, especially the one with the six-pack! And I've also found myself strangely attracted to Pan.
  • Ramkitten Oct 26, 2009 @ 9:27 am | delete
    Ooo, that means I'm a chimera, too! (Ramkitten, see. Hard-headed and ... hmm ... cute?)
  • TheseusOfAthens Oct 23, 2009 @ 11:15 pm | delete
    My favorite chimera is probably pan he was 1/2 man 1/2 gaote. gods count right
  • _Joan_ Oct 14, 2009 @ 12:12 am | delete
    I think I'd choose to be a hybrid of human, bird, and fish. Then I would be at home in any environment, air or land or sea.
  • Ladydove62 Sep 13, 2009 @ 9:32 pm | delete
    I would have to say the mermaid for my little Cierra.
  • Sylvestermouse Sep 13, 2009 @ 10:04 am | delete
    That's an easy question. My favorite Chimera is Pegasus followed closely by the Griffin. I guess I just like winged creatures. Great lens!
  • BevsPaper Sep 13, 2009 @ 8:03 am | delete
    Very interesting topic about the Chimeric creatures. Not sure what one would look like if I created one. I would want it to be gentle in nature with a kind heart, wise, and a protector of children.

I just love mythical creatures! I'm a dragon in the Chinese zodiac so I'm partial to them, griffins are a bit similar which leads to other chimeras, a... more »
