Chimera

The mythical Chimera, a creature with lion and goat heads, and a snake for a tail.

For my version of the chimera I thought it would be funny to give each of the animals their own personality (rather than just making all of them look menacing). With a stupid screaming goat, an angry lion, and an aloof snake it seems like the makings of an Odd Couple style buddy comedy.

Polyphemus the Shepherd

Polyphemus from The Odyssey tending part of his flock.  Prior to the eye impaling of course.  

I read once that the Greeks came up with cyclopes after finding an elephant skull, so I wanted to base my design off of the pachyderms.
