A chimera (キマイラ) is a creature from Greek mythology that appear to be a hybrids of various unrelated species of animals.

Chimera in Touhou

Chimeras are usually synthetic beasts created by combining different animals artificially, while occasionally born naturally; they have a short lifespan.[1]

While the youkai known as Nue is depicted as a chimera like creature, there is no documentation of what Nue actually looked like. There is no relation between the chimera and the youkai Nue.[1]
