The chimera is a mythological monster that appears in the Minecraft Mini-Series. He is part lion and snake creature. He gives the teams the challenge of beating him in theatrical performances with two dryads.

The Chimera has a yellow-tan body with a dark brown curly mane, brown and yellow eyes, a white muzzle, and a scaly green serpent tail.

The Chimera is dramatic and spirited creature with a passion for acting. He likes "stagecraft" in the Minecraft Mini-Series.

When the players were transported by Poseidon from the Canal to the Chimera's theater to seek out the fourth enchanted ender eye, the Chimera showed up as a mythic legend guarding the ender eye chest. However, unlike other mythic legends, he meant no harm and instead placed the players in a set of three theatrical challenges. For the first challenge, improvisation, he threatened Toby to eat him until he revealed he was merely pretending. Because of the lack of in-depth character within the player's improvisation, the Chimera earned a point. For the second challenge, mine and movement, he built a statue of himself and ordered River and Quinn to do the same. The two managed to build two statues of dryads, but they lost a point because, according to the Chimera, they forgot to bow at the end. The third challenge, acting, would reward three points if completed. To challenge someone, the Chimera approached a timid CommuniKate and asked her whether she likes to act in the domain of tragedy, comedy, or melodrama. Kate's answer was "chicken", which confused the Chimera. In order to prove it, she began pecking around like a chicken. Although she caused confusion by her awkward behavior, the Chimera saw her act as "transcendent acting", awarding the players three points and letting them claim the ender eye. When Poseidon teleported the players away from the theater, the Chimera referred to this as an act of stealing the scene.

• Despite the origins of the chimera in Greek mythology (Chímaira referring to a she-goat^[1][2]) the Chimera only has a lion body and snake tail.
• The Chimera in the Minecraft Mini-Series is based on the "Chimera" from Mattel which in turn was based on a texture for the ocelot in the Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack.
