Lunar Chimera (Golem)

Not to be confused with or .

The Lunar Chimera is a monster.

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.
