Additional Information
Lore
“For its insatiable appetite for manflesh, this abominable specimen was given the name “Craver” by woodcutters. Despite suffering grievous wounds in its encounter with the Darklight Raiders, it survived to make a fall recovery and resumed its reign of terror. While presumed to trace its origins from the chimerical creations of the Allagan Empire, it is not known how it came to inhabit Cutter’s Cry.

“A nightmarish combination of lion, goat, and dragon, the fell chimera has three heads, a pair of mighty wings, and a cruelly barbed tail. Its origins have been furiously debated, with some insisting the creature a cruel jest of the gods, while others believe it the twisted creation of forbidden sorcery. Recent decipherings of Third Astral Era texts have given increased weight to the latter.
— Encyclopædia Eorzea vol 1, page 303
“Simply stated, chimeras are creatures created by conjoining the flesh from two or more different beings. The process is highly complex, and was only perfected in the waning years of the Allagan Empire—the culmination of nearly an entire era’s biological research. Until recently, reproduction of these techniques was believed impossible, but breakthroughs made by both Garlean engineers and goblin scientists of the Illuminati have seen an influx of the godless abominations throughout the realm.
