Unlike other species, chimera have the ability to shapeshift into
a wide array of forms due to being only made of energy and a soul,
with the body being like a separate thing
They’re physical manifestations of human attention given to
subjects, and represents the community surrounding those subjects
They’re personified fandoms, basically
Capable of shifting voluntarily or involuntarily into an “altered”
form that’s just their soul and energy given form
Their altered form is very very unstable physically, and their
ability is usually either made more specific or amplified
Has a reputation for being very self-centered and vain
Usually biped and humanoid or anthro as a main form, but capable
of shifting into a animal-like form if needed
They spawn in with no physical sexual characteristics since they
have no need for sexual or asexual reproduction
They’re born as adults, but mentally take a little while to
process the horror of being alive (usually a few days)

Energy: What powers all the beings in the Altered
Lands. It's like blood, and while it color varies, it always has a
faint shimmer to it, and doesn't dry as fast as blood.
