Chimera (Resistance)

The Chimera are a deadly alien menace of unknown origins from the Resistance franchise. Their motives and goals are shrouded in enigma, but one thing is evident- there is no room for Humanity on the Earth in them. Bolstering their numbers by converting humans into monsters and servants of the aliens through a specialized strain of virus, the Chimera were able to quickly expand and overwhelm the majority of the planet in a startlingly short period of time, despite the best efforts of the British and American armed forces.

The primary strain of Chimera, The Hybrid, were originally humans, converted into bestial foot-soldiers, and feature numerous additional strains to suit other purposes, such as Steelheads. Crawlers are small beetle-like creatures that are spread in numerous methods and used to infect human populations en masse with the Chimeran Virus, and when they are unable to find hosts they transform into scorpion-like menaces known as Leapers, which attack in deadly huge swarms. Grims are tall, speedy, brutal creatures designed to spread as much death as possible in extremely short life spans, some of which literally serve as biological suicide bombers called Leeches. Ravagers are tall, powerful Chimera meant to bring heavy firepower on foes while absorbing enemy fire due to their superhuman durability. Slipskulls are stealthy, acrobatic soldiers who are able to use their unique eyesight to fire in multiple directions at once with deadly precision, and are able to stick to walls and leap from surface to surface. Titans were massive Chimera with superhuman strength and durability that allowed them to unleash devastating attacks and fight entire squads of humans by themselves. Chameleon's were stealthy, speedy monsters that were invisible to the naked eye until seconds before they shredded a foe alive. Widowmakers were giant spider-like creatures that served as Chimera tank equivalents.

While these many organic strains, and others, keep the humans on their toes during encounters, the Chimeran's vastly superior technology is a large part of what allows them to overpower their foes. Goliaths were 150-foot tall siege mechs used to deal heavy damage to enemy infantry and armor. Stalkers were similarly designed, but significantly smaller mechs, designed for encounters with enemy squads and patrolling through territories, and could attack in groups. Spires were massive missiles launched from the Chimera that were used to spread thousands and thousands of Crawlers per missile. They also used massive strains of Chimera to accomplish similar tasks to their machines. The Leviathans were 300 foot monstrosities capable of untold damage, and were said to be the biggest creatures to ever walk the earth. Furies and Krakens were used to dominate the seas and destroy any naval force or foe unfortunate enough to fall into any body of water deeper than a puddle in Chimera-occupied territory.
