Encymion
A three-headed chimera lashes out with an extra reactive strike for each surviving head, growing more dangerous as it's cut down.
Encymion is a three-headed chimera of dragon, lion, and goat, each skull driven by its own cruel temperament — pious, brave, and scheming in turn. Severing one head only enrages what remains.
In play
Multiple Reactions Encymion gains 2 extra reactions each round that it can use only to make Reactive Strikes. It must use a different head for each reaction, and it can't use more than one on the same triggering action. If it loses one of its heads, it also loses one of these extra reactions. As chimera.
Three Headed Any ability that would sever one of Encymion's head (such as a critical hit with a vorpal weapon) severs one head at random. Losing a head doesn't kill Encymion (as long as it has one head left), but it does prevent it from making Strikes with the lost head or using the head's Dragon Breath. As chimera.
