Capricalion - Chimera of the Plains

A creature local to the northeast of Belfrie. Solitary, deadly, extremely territorial. The Capricalion is a special breed of Chimera that prefers open spaces, unlike some of its kin which prefer the closed areas of forests or the dank underground of caves and dungeons. This particular Chimera, caught for the Crucible, is infected with some form of strange plague, resulting in an even deadlier foe for the poison that now sits in its teeth and claws. Of the single combatant that has faced it thus far, they were pulled from the arena direly wounded. Over the course of days, their body took on the plague, undergoing a putrid metamorphosis that left the organisers no choice but to incinerate their body and never speak of it again. Despite their concerns, the Capricalion fight drew spectators in droves, and they feel compelled to send it out again, hoping that the next fighter may best it.
