 The chimerical monster was said to be nearly 50 feet long, with the head of a lion, the beak and talons of an eagle, and the tail of a scorpion, with which venom was its principal weapon, much like a manticore.It was also completely covered with chain mail that appeared to be made from mother of pearl.Its only weak point proved to be, not unlike Chimera, having a spear flung down its throat.
