Gameplay

The powerful jaws of their lion head grants them a strong melee hack attack. Chimerai possess a powerful special attack, whereby their snake tail lunges forward and spews fire over the enemy. This is an area of effect attack that damages many enemies at once. Due to the nature of their special attack and their general effectiveness against most types of units, Chimerai need little management in order to be effective.

The Chimera has bonus damage against myth units and is also strong against human units. However, they are easily slain by heroes and other stronger myth units, especially when the latter are supported by heroes.

The Flames of Typhon improvement turns Chimerai into Chimera Tyrants, with increased attack, hit points, and special attack damage.

Mythology

"◆ Scientific Name -- Draco Chimera
◆ Size -- 12,000+ lbs.
◆ Diet -- Carnivore, especially humans
The chimera is one of the varied offspring of Echidna (with the torso of a beautiful woman and a horrible serpent below the waist) and Typhon (a fire-breathing giant with 100 serpent heads). The Chimera is a fire-breathing beast, usually depicted with the body of a goat, the head of a lion, and the tail of a serpent. The Corinthian hero, Bellerophon, defeated the original Lycian (a Greek kingdom in Asia Minor) chimera by flying into battle on the winged horse, Pegasus."

Trivia

The Colossus, as referenced by its specific technologies, is based on Talos, a giant, bronze Automaton who patrolled the island of Crete.
The Colossus is named after one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant bronze-plated statue of the sun god Helios.
The Colossus originally had the second highest number of hit points of any myth unit that can be trained at a Temple. As of Tale of the Dragon, it only has the third-highest hit points.
During development, the Colossus did not exist, and its role was instead filled by the Golem.
