User blog:RdcTohoKingdom/What counts as a Chimera?

Opening
So apparently somebody put the "Chimera Kaiju" category onto the Belial Fusion Beast pages. So that sparked up this little debate over at UltraFan Wiki chat, and now Sol has instructed me to make a blog for it.

So, what really counts as a Chimera Kaiju?

"Chimera" as a term
A chimera in the most basic sense is "a monstrous creature with parts from multiple animals". Now replace "animals" with Kaiju and you've got the bill for a Chimera Kaiju. However "multiple", at least to my interpretation, means more than two. "Parts" is also a key word, so I'll be getting into that.

True Chimeras
True Chimera Kaiju are frankly, not Belial Fusion Beasts in my opinion. A true Chimera Kaiju would be something like Tyrant, Five King, Izmeal, Giga Chimera, and at the highest extreme, Beryudora. Why? Because they all contain parts of other Kaiju, they are not simply Kaiju combined together, their body parts are literally lifted from other Kaiju, or in Beryudora's case, are other Kaiju.

What makes a Belial Fusion Beast not a Chimera
Belial Fusion Beasts, by in large, are fusions of two things. Furthermore, they do not have various parts of the Kaiju, they are a combination of them, otherwise known as a fusion.

Yes, they have the Belial parts, but that's just his energy affecting them, Belial himself is not an added component.

The only Belial Fusion Beasts that could possibly be considered true Chimera Kaiju are Chimeraberos and Strong Gomorant, because of Five King and Tyrant being components.

In Closing
"Chimera Kaiju", in my humble opinion, should be a term reserved for things like Tyrant and Five King. Something like Skull Gomora or Pedanium Zetton should be regarded as a Fusion Kaiju. That is all.
