Reversing chimera and chimera_(creature)

• chimera and chimera_(creature).

Hmm not sure how that happened. Though I do remember someone adding chimera_(creature) to the list, because I thought chimera was taken by some character from a series.

So Chimera should go to the actual Greek mythology character, while Chimera_(creature) should describe a character fused with various animals inspired by Chimera. I've should have seen this sooner.

Unless a new tag without the qualifier can be formed?

I'll go with what I said during the last forum thread (forum #33689) on the matter, and move the current chimera to chimerism so that chimera_(creature) can then take up chimera. As for why it happened, that is pretty easy. Before there wasn't any images of the mythological chimera, and then there was 1 or 2 images but no more for a long time so I had simply moved those to chimera_(creature).

There are a lot of things being called a Chimera. Mixed creatures (post #607420), people merging (post #591000, seems like something that really isn't quite the same as a fusion), monsters from Resistance: Fall of Man (post #608477), the creature from The Last Guardian (post #460931).

Additionally there is also the Japanese Chimera (Nue) which is mixed amongst the images as well. Perhaps it would be better to made Chimera a broader tag and for the Greek Chimera use Greek_Chimera or something.

Also, could we get an implication for chimerism -> fusion.

ah, so that's what happened. Then I will agree to alias change(?) chimera / chimerism as the general overall description for limb and body fusion (if that made sense). Though I personally think of Chimera as the mythological character by name alone. It definitely isn't hard to separate for fantasy reasons.

Nue is hard to place since it likely wasn't meant to be Greek inspired, though it is admittedly similar by appearance 0_o. I would hold off on putting it with chimera_(creature) because the qualifier brings confusion.

I've already moved everything relevant to the fusion type to chimerism, so the chimera tag is open now (remaining images are similar to what is in chimera_(creature). I was actually thinking of doing the move earlier but just never got around to it.

okay, so move images under chimera_(creature) to chimera? or vice versa?

I moved chimera_(creature) to chimera, just now need to sort out what specifically the tag will be for.

Thank you

If chimera is open and we've already accounted for fusions and other amalgamations of various animal parts in chimerism, then perhaps we should restrict chimera to the classical Greek beast?
