“	To tell you the truth, i don't like your Imaginary Chimera. I can only think you've combined with a rabbit out of pity, Why even bother making yourself weaker? You have a blessed body of a wolf why would you make such a weak wolf-rabbit of a hybrid creature for a chimera...	„

Notable Techniques

Imaginary Chimera: According to Kyuu, an imaginary chimera is when you "compensate for what you lack by conjuring an image" of a larger, stronger animal. Her chimera, in particular, is a mix between a panda and a rabbit (a reference to her master, who taught her the skill), which is conjured from strong feelings towards other species, Kyuu's, in particular, being hatred and envy towards carnivores. It is later revealed that this skill was taught to her by Gohin.
