The chimera! She's a fierce monster from Greek mythology, often described as having the body and head of a lion, a fire-breathing goat head on her back, and a snake-headed tail.

And its now turn of... the vampire! The vampire is an undead creature of European folklore that feeds on the blood of the living in order to survive, and that can look terrifying or enticing, depending on the myth. 🧛🦇
