The chimera is a bestial and ferocious entity added by the Anomaly DLC.

Occurrence[edit]

Chimeras only require a level 1 Monolith to spawn.

Summary[edit]

Chimera packs appear as a Major threat. Shambler Chimeras can be mixed into Shambler animal swarms. Shambler Chimeras can fulfill the entity codex entry for Chimeras.

They bleed at half the rate of normal animals and have 50% Toxic Resistance.

The chimera has the unique ability to become enraged upon taking damage, gaining a hediff called 'Rage Speed.' This ability makes them much harder to put down, and much more adept at closing the distance between it and your pawns.

Rage speed:

Colonists who see a Chimera will receive a −8 mood effect for 24 hours. Killing or disposing of the Chimera has no affect on this moodlet.[Thought Template]

Chimeras have 3 different behaviors: attack, stalk and withdrawal. Initially Chimeras will be in stalk mode and wander around their initial position. In attack mode, Chimeras will behave very similar to manhunter packs. Receiving damage will generally cause Chimeras to change from stalk mode to attack mode.

Stalk mode will change to attack mode every 16.8 hours on average. Attack mode will change to stalk mode every 8 hours on average. Stalk Mode and Attack Mode will last at least 3 hours. An exception is when Chimeras in stalk mode are damaged and then they can switch to attack mode.

​​Everytime a Chimera is killed or downed in attack mode there is a 7.5% chance the chimeras will switch to withdrawal mode. In withdrawal mode, Chimeras will flee and not respond to damage. Withdrawal mode will last at least one hour.

Containment[edit]

It provides Advanced anomaly research, and can be studied every 2 days. It has a minimum containment strength of 70. When hooked up to a bioferrite generator, it yields Bioferrite 3.225 bioferrite per day. When hooked up to an electroharvester, it provides 430 watts.

Analysis[edit]

With its ability to become enraged, and inability to be downed due to pain, it can catch up to ranged pawns frighteningly fast. With much greater movement speed than a default pawn, outpacing it might prove very difficult. Heavily armored melee pawns or ghouls are recommended to intercept them first. It has some of the strongest melee attacks of any single entity, equivalent to a Bear, and can quickly cause a colonist to bleed out by tearing off limbs. Like many entities, it is susceptible to fire, and won't attack while it is putting out the flames.

They are limited to their powerful melee attacks and will eagerly pile up behind a door blocked by melee colonists. Like manhunter animals, they will not attack structures and will wait patiently outside a colony that has walled itself in and closed its doors. Unlike manhunter packs, they won't sleep and will roam outside player bases indefinitely until they're killed.
