Chimera is a boss added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance that appears in the Corpse.

Behavior

Phase 1

Chimera trods quickly in Isaac's direction, leaving a trail of harmful Green Creep. While walking, it builds speed, making wide turns due to its momentum and can also perform the following attacks:

• Spits out 5 Small Maggots.
• Spits out a Sick Boom Fly and throws it towards Isaac.
• Jumps twice towards Isaac, shooting out a radius of 8 tears on the first landing and 4 rock waves in diagonal directions on the second landing.
• Shoots out 8 Ipecac shots towards where Isaac is predicted to move. The landing position of each projectile is marked on the ground.

Phase 2

Once its Hp has dropped to about half, it will make a final charge towards Isaac before tripping and dividing the head and body into separate entities. Each part has its own attacks:

• The head continuously makes leaps towards Isaac and slides a distance after landing while leaving a trail of damaging Red Creep. It can also perform the following attacks:
  • Shoots out 4 spreads of 5 projectiles in Isaac's direction.
  • Performs three quick dashes, similar to Dingle, leaving Creep.
  • If the body dies before the head, it will continuously make long charges at Isaac, bouncing off any walls while also leaving Creep.

• The body continues to chase Isaac like the first phase but at a slower pace. It can also perform the following attacks:
  • Fires a green-hued Brimstone beam downwards if Isaac is directly above or below it. It will be propelled upwards by this beam until it hits the wall.
  • Runs quickly towards Isaac before leaping and rolling around the room bouncing off walls, much like The Cage.
  • If the head is close it can pick the head up and throw it at Isaac, creating a burst of projectiles where the head collides with a wall.
  • If the head dies before the body, the body will roll around like The Cage for the rest of the battle until it dies.
