what does a baby chimera look like

[MiniPrinny]

I wouldn't be so sure. A process like that doesn't exactly leave the beast in good shape. And the many Chimera across Eorzea could just be from all the ones that were made, not just a new species that is reproducing.

The thing is, we have living proof of Allagan creations reproducing. Arachne Eve is very likely an Allagan creation, while the Ixal, as we have seen, evolved from the Ixalion over generations. It's so very unlikely that all the chimera lived this long without reproducing. And, I dunno, they seem in pretty good shape considering the fight they put up!

Arachne eve is very likely not an allagan creation, but rather something much bigger. People have theorised that she is in fact the mother of all spiders in the world(because we have known anout arachne web for a while), and her relation to Mhach is akin to shelob and Mordor from lord of the rings. As for the ixal, the difference between them and a chimera, is that a chimera is literally a chimera. The ixal look to be an original species, one that the allagans genetically constructed to be original, with males and females and the ability to self sustain (cheaper to produce). Chimeras by design (in anything, not just XIV) are monstrous creatures created by fusing the DNA (or just the idea) of multiple creatures together so that they end result shares pieces of the originals. With this violent bonding of DNA, and the incompatibility of the three creatures, the chances of breeding would be slim to impossible

Since we're on about breeding I'm gonna throw this in here but how did Midgarsomrr produce Bahamut and Tiamat? Masturbation? maybe...

As for the Chimera breeding, well lore wise unless it states otherwise they could live for a very long time, I mean why not? there fused DNA's could pro long there life span
or they could be able to breed.

All I know is there is a half goblin half chimera out there and I want to know how! Is it the DNA way? Or the other DNA way with the wink wink at the end......if the latter then damn that be funny to watch.

Pretty sure that one was created by Ratfinx Twinkledinks, which I don't doubt he would do as he seems to like biological experiments (jekyll and hyde potion)

There are reptiles that can change gender as needed, and then there are reptiles that can reproduce asexually. Most of the latter just end up making clones of themselves, but there are examples like some whiptail lizard species that can do it while still maintaining genetic diversity.

And then he's an alien.
Who knows what he did.

Simplest and best answer. Addresses everything the OP asked for.

I don't think it actually stands for anything.
