The Chimera was a human spliced with alien DNA. It induced a primal fear in those who encountered it. Its basic form looked like a human with incredibly damaged, grey skin. However, it only appeared to operate in this guise when no one was watching. Once, it took on the shape of a black goblin with red eyes (to [[Jack Harkness]]), a zombie clown (to [[Gwen Cooper]]), a bearded man in a trench-coat (to Jack Harkness), a deceased piano teacher (to [[Owen Harper]]) and an approximation of a [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cyberman]] (to [[Ianto Jones]]). | The Chimera was a human spliced with alien DNA.
