[q]-The design for a steef was basically a chimera. I don't find Chimera designs fun at all, and I only use them as a last resort.[/q]
Umm?
Chimeras the head and forelegs of a lion, the rest of the body as a large goat (and a goat's head behind the lion's), and a snake as a tail, with a snakes head.
I believe the snake head breathed fire - certainly one of the heads did.

Stranger is a deer-gorilla-stag, though he doesn't have a deer back end per se; Stranger's back end is very small and not particiularly similar to any of our species.

Similarities between steef and chimerae:
-both are essentially a mixture of 3 creatures, though the steef was is more 'natural'.
-both have four legs, though steef are known to run on six.

In conclusion, I think you was talking about some other design for a chimera, and was not referring the real chimera from Greek mythology, making this reply largely void.
People, please! I'm talking about the fact that it's a combination of 3 animals, not the thing from Greek mythos.

Fine, I'll change it. Sheesh.
