Biography
When the players were transported by Minecraft:Poseidon from the Canal to the Minecraft:Chimera's theater to seek out the fourth Minecraft:enchanted ender eye, the Chimera showed up as a mythic legend guarding the ender eye chest. However, unlike other mythic legends, he meant no harm and instead placed the players in a set of three theatrical challenges. For the first challenge, improvisation, he threatened Minecraft:Toby to eat him until he revealed he was merely pretending. Because of the lack of in-depth character within the player's improvisation, the Chimera earned a point. For the second challenge, mine and movement, he built a statue of himself and ordered River and Minecraft:Quinn to do the same. The two managed to build two statues of Minecraft:dryads, but they lost a point because, according to the Chimera, they forgot to bow at the end. The third challenge, acting, would reward three points if completed. To challenge someone, the Chimera approached a timid Minecraft:CommuniKate and asked her whether she likes to act in the domain of tragedy, comedy, or melodrama. Kate's answer was "chicken", which confused the Chimera. In order to prove it, she began pecking around like a chicken. Although she caused confusion by her awkward behavior, the Chimera saw her act as "transcendent acting", awarding the players three points and letting them claim the ender eye. When Poseidon teleported the players away from the theater, the Chimera refered to this as an act of stealing the scene.
