Lunar Chimera (Golem)

Not to be confused with or .

The Lunar Chimera is a monster, and is part of the monster family.

Skills and Behavior
This Lunar Chimera walks and slides around the map, usually using the slide to get closer to its target.

Twinshot Attack
When close to a target, the Lunar Chimera charges a barrage of 10 explosive balls for about 3-4 seconds, before firing them in series in a helix pattern. Each shot deals 100% damage with a force of 1000.

The shots have no homing ability, but they travel quickly and in a wide spread, so avoiding them even at longer ranges can be a challenge.

Trivia

 * Prior to the anniversary update, the Lunar Chimera had a carved eye similar to the . Now it doesn't have an eye at all.
 * In the game's credits, a drawing of an item named "Moon Golem's Heart" appears. It is possible that this was intended to be item related to the Lunar Chimera, although this is speculation.
