Mix-and-Match Critters: Difference between revisions

** In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Discworld/Eric|Eric]]'', the demon-god Quetzovercoatl is described as "half-man, half-chicken, half-jaguar, half-serpent, half-scorpion and half-mad".

*** Making for "a wossname total of three homicidal maniacs."

** Discworld also has the chimera in ''[[Discworld/Sourcery|Sourcery]]''. Unlike the Greek version, the Disc's chimera has the legs of a mermaid, the hair of a tortoise, the teeth of a fowl and the wings of a snake. It's similar to the Greek chimera in having the breath of a furnace, and the temperament of a rubber balloon in a hurricane.

** From ''[[Going Postal]]'': It was said that there was one horse in Ankh-Morpork that had a longitudinal seam from head to tail, being sewn together from what was left of two horses that had been involved in a particularly nasty accident.
