Description
A gorgimera is a variant of the chimera, with the hindquarters (and third head) of a gorgon instead of a goat. Its gorgon head likewise has a gorgon's breath weapon.
The gorgon's head can see into both the Astral and Ethereal planes, and its breath weapon extends therein.
Like its relative the chimera, the gorgimera can also speak a limited form of the language of red dragons.
Other publishers
The gorgimera appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[6]
