However, the State Military itself has been experimenting with synthesizing human chimera in secret laboratories for some time, with limited success. It was only during his second attempt at this that his transgressions were brought to the government's attention. State Alchemist Shou Tucker has been accredited with the creation of the first chimera capable of human speech, but it died soon after creation because it refused to eat, but the truth of the matter is that his creation was actually a crude human chimera created in secrecy and passed off as an advanced standard chimera to achieve his state certification. On the other hand though, there are alchemists who flout this decree and step across the threshold into monstrous experimentation, it has been publicly stated that all illicit attempts to create a human-animal hybrid have failed. While the synthesis of the chimera is an accepted, albeit rare and elusive branch of alchemy, the concept of extending its mutative hand to the realm of human characteristics and abilities falls under Human Transmutation and is therefore strictly banned as a practice under the authority of the military. Nina and Alexander in their chimera form. Kimblee during the mission to stir up tensions in Reole. Later in the 2003 anime, Shou Tucker created new chimera for Frank Archer and some of them were placed under the command of Solf J. Although it is essentially performing Human Transmutation, it is not considered as such, as it is in most cases simple animals.Īs mutant beasts granted the traits of multiple species, standard chimera appear best suited for guard duty and are frequently positioned as such in the manga, Father keeps an innumerable horde of these fantastic beasts guarding the underground passageways to his lair and, in the 2003 anime series, the State Military contains a great number of reptilian feline chimera in Laboratory 5 tasked with eliminating intruders that manage to elude Guards Number 48 and Number 66. Still, the production of such fantastical beings is possible with the proper alchemical expertise and skill (as displayed by both Shou Tucker, who had made chimeric alchemy his focus as a State Alchemist, and Cornello, who was able to perform chimeric alchemy with the aid of an incomplete Philosopher's Stone). Though a legitimate branch of bio- alchemy, chimeric research has seen very few significant strides in recorded history - or at least in Amestrian history - and has been described as a science built upon countless dead ends and false starts.
