I would give the creature the gorgons breath weapon and trample in addition to everything else the Chimera normally has... CHIMERA Large Magical Beast Hit Dice: 9d10+27 (76 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares), fly 50 ft. (poor) Armor Class: 19 (–1 size, +1 Dex, +9 natural), touch 10, flat-footed 18 Base Attack/Grapple: +9/+17 Attack: Bite +12 melee (2d6+4) Full Attack: Bite +12 melee (2d6+4) and bite +12 melee (1d8+4) and gore +12 melee (1d8+4) and 2 claws +10 melee (1d6+2) Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft. Special Attacks: Breath weapon Special Qualities: Darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, scent Saves: Fort +9, Ref +7, Will +6 Abilities: Str 19, Dex 13, Con 17, Int 4, Wis 13, Cha 10 Skills: Hide +1*, Listen +9, Spot +9 Feats: Alertness, Hover, Iron Will, Multiattack Environment: Temperate hills Organization: Solitary, pride (3–5), or flight (6–13) Challenge Rating: 7 Treasure: Standard Alignment: Usually chaotic evil Advancement: 10–13 HD (Large); 14–27 HD (Huge) Level Adjustment: +2 (cohort) A chimera is about 5 feet tall at the shoulder, nearly 10 feet long, and weighs about 4,000 pounds. A chimera’s dragon head might be black, blue, green, red, or white. Chimeras can speak Draconic but seldom bother to do so, except when toadying to more powerful creatures. COMBAT The chimera prefers to surprise prey. It often swoops down from the sky or lies concealed until it charges. The dragon head can loose a breath weapon instead of biting. Several chimeras attack in concert. Breath Weapon (Su): A chimera’s breath weapon depends on the color of its dragon head, as summarized on the table below. Regardless of its type, a chimera’s breath weapon is usable once every 1d4 rounds, deals 3d8 points of damage, and allows a DC 17 Reflex save for half damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. To determine a chimera’s head color and breath weapon randomly, roll 1d10 and consult the table below. 1d10 Head Color Breath Weapon 1–2 Black 40-foot line of acid 3–4 Blue 40-foot line of lightning 5–6 Green 20-foot cone of gas (acid) 7–8 Red 20-foot cone of fire 9–10 White 20-foot cone of cold Skills: A chimera’s three heads give it a +2 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks. *In areas of scrubland or brush, a chimera gains a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks. Carrying Capacity: A light load for a chimera is up to 348 pounds; a medium load, 349–699 pounds, and a heavy load, 700–1,050 pounds. GORGON Large Magical Beast Hit Dice: 8d10+40 (85 hp) Initiative: +4 Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares) Armor Class: 20 (–1 size, +11 natural), touch 9, flat-footed 20 Base Attack/Grapple: +8/+17 Attack: Gore +12 melee (1d8+7) Full Attack: Gore +12 melee (1d8+7) Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft.

It weighs about 4,000 pounds. Gorgons are nothing if not aggressive. They attack intruders on sight, attempting to trample, gore, or petrify them. There is no way to calm these furious creatures, and they are impossible to domesticate. COMBAT Whenever possible, a gorgon begins an encounter by charging at its opponents. Breath Weapon (Su): 60-foot cone, once every 1d4 rounds (but no more than five times per day), turn to stone permanently, Fortitude DC 19 negates. The save DC is Constitution-based. Trample (Ex): Reflex DC 19 half. The save DC is Strength-based.
