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.
