Chimera (My Little Pony)

The Chimera is an antagonist from the animated televison show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It is a fearsome creature with a tiger's head and front legs, a goat's head and hind legs, and a snake's head for a tail. She first appears in the seventeenth episode of the fourth season entitled Somepony to Watch Over Me.

Role in the series
The chimera tries to eat Apple Bloom and the pies she is trying to deliver through the Flame Geyser Swamp. As she has Apple Bloom cornered, Applejack arrives and puts the snake head to sleep with a flute. Then she throws a chair into the tiger head's mouth, and when the chimera runs at Applejack, the snake head gets caught in a tree and the tiger head's teeth get stuck in another tree, unable to remove them. Applejack appeases the goat head with some cheese. The chimera is left trapped in the trees afterwards.

Trivia

 * In Greek mythology, the chimera is a monstrous fire-breathing creature with the body and head of a lion, a goat's head rising from its back, and a tail ending in a snake's head.
 * Though it is technically one single creature, each of the heads refer to each other as "siblings".
 * She is the third MLP: FiM villain to actually attempt to kill (technically eat) the protagonist. The first was Ahuizotl and the second was Sunset Shimmer.
 * Of course, she'd be considered the fourth if you include King Sombra.
