Chimera (Resistance: Fall of Man)

The Chimera are a fictional mutant race that are the main enemies of Resistance: Fall of Man. It is unknown where the Chimera are from. They quickly spread throughout Russia and eventually Europe and Asia in the form of a virus. From the 1930s to the 1940s they remained in Russia. In the late 1930s, British and American spies had discovered that dozens of towns along the Russian border in Belarus were abandoned. They could find no bodies, only crypic messages of demons. Once the Chimera amassed enough forces, they broke through the Red Curtain and attacked Europe and Asia. They took all of Europe in three months. For a few months, the British and Americans thought the United Kingdom was safe, but the Chimera burrowed under the English Channel. The Chimera have a gritty, alien look. They are much taller then regular humans, and have menacing yellow eyes. There are multiple forms of the Chimera.

Types

Leapers - A basic form of Chimera. They take little damage to kill, but often appear in swarms. Their appearance looks like a cross between a lizard and a scorpion.

Leaper Pods -

Rollers -

Howlers - Large, strong Chimera, resembling a gigantic dog.

Menials - Zombie-like Chimera that do more grunt work than fighting, though they will grab onto you and bite you if you are too close. Slow and easy targets.

Crawlers -The most basic form of Chimera, from which all other creatures come from. They resemble beetles, and are parasites, which swarm in massive numbers to attack human or animal life, and burrow into the hosts’ body, infecting the host with the Chimeran Virus. Once infected, the host body absorbs the Crawler and begins transforming into one of the other forms of Chimera. If the Crawler does not find a host before a significant period of time has past, it forms a Leaper pod around itself, and transforms into a leaper. The Chimera load millions of Crawlers into rockets called spires, and launch them into the hearts of cities or at enemy forces, infecting them in minutes. This is how most of Europe was conquered.

Angels- Probably the final strain of the Chimera, they are able to levitate, can control other Chimera and are very powerful.
