The mysterious Chimaera of Ashenvale Forest are deadly, territorial beasts who have developed an empathic bond with the Night Elf race. The fearsome, two-headed Chimaera fly above the dark forestlands spewing forth their terrible breath weapons upon all who would defy the sanctity of Kalimdor.

Chimaeras have two different attacks, one used against units (Magic/Msplash) with splash damage and another used against buildings. The second attack (Siege/Missile) is the Corrosive Breath ability which is against buildings. The statistics for that attack are underlined. Chimaeras only get this special building attack when they research Corrosive Breath.

Chimaeras are good for doing hit and run attacks against enemy buildings and expansions.

Chimaeras cannot attack other air units. Once the enemy begins using air units against the Chimaera you will need some Hippogryphs or Archers to protect them.

Corrosive Breath (Passive) Hurls a ball of corrosive bile that is effective against buildings. The statistics for this attack are listed above.
