Chimera (Fullmetal Alchemist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Referred as a most inhumane form of Alchemy by some, a Chimera is the fusion of two or more different species into a single being. One of Basque Grand's dark projects involve creating "beast-man" chimeras for militant purposes, with help from Shou Tucker (who grew to despise this work, especially when it affected his personal life and drove him mad) and other Alchemists (some of whom regret it). The Elrics encountered both types of Chimera, though only the 'Beast-Men' types have more impact in the story.

Some unidentified chimeras are seen hanging around with Greed in the Devil's Nest and later fighting against the military. In the manga, a chimera called Ulchi, who (according to the men standing outside Devil's Nest) is fused with a crocodile, confronts Izumi as she approaches the Devil's Nest to find Al. However, before he can attack Izumi, Sig comes and beats him senseless. Ulchi is shown later being shot by the military as they infiltrated the bar.
Another chimera suggested to Greed that they simply dissect Al instead of waiting for Ed to show up. This chimera could turn his hand into a sharp claw-like entity.
In the anime, some of the Chimeras Shou Tucker was commissioned to produce for the Lior invasion were human, though their forms were more monstrous.
