Pure Chimera



"Pure Chimera" are the original species of Chimera, and are not created by parasitism, as standard Chimera are.

It is presumed that these Chimera were involved in the war with an unknown (alien) species 60 million years ago. These Chimera built the Chimeran Towers, and promptly vanished from history.

It is unknown how, but during the Chimera's invasion of Russia after 1908, Dr. Fyodor Malikov was able to collect specimens of Pure Chimeran DNA, which he would use to create the Cloven, and was also used to inject into Nathan Hale (who became semi-immune but later succumbed to the virus), and Jordan Shepherd-who would mutate into Daedelus and take sole command of the Chimera world-wide.

Appearance
Pure Chimera are first mentioned and seen in Resistance 2, in Bryce Canyon. There are many of them curled up and encased in transparent egg-like containers in large rooms. The Pure Chimera seem to be about 12-13 feet (3.6-3.9 meters) long while uncurled, but this is not certain. They resemble long, segmented armored worms, with multiple eyes on their heads and sharp shearing teeth. Their heads are similar in appearance to those of Hybrids.
