The Great Wyver She/Her Posted May 2, 2025 Posted May 2, 2025 So, recently went on google for a quick Brandon Sanderson search. ...And I don't think Chimeras exist in the Mistborn series. So, if anyone else made the mistake of expecting reliable info about anything on Google, paste some stuff here. (BTW, Moderators, I don't know if I put this in the right forum-type thingy, so tell me if I put it in the wrong place!)
IcedOutPenguin He/Him Posted May 2, 2025 Posted May 2, 2025 This would either go in the Mistborn section or the Brandon Discussion sections.

Chaos he/him Posted May 2, 2025 Posted May 2, 2025 Pinging staff is not a good way to get our attention. Please report the relevant posts, which will notify all staff members via email. Pings almost assuredly will not have email notifications. Thanks! Anyway, yeah, if people want a thing moved, just report it. 1

Remember those weird abomination things in The Lost Metal (4th Wax and Wayne)? Those are technically called Chimeras.

Hemalurgic Constructs include abomonations (depending on who you ask, all hemalurgy is abominations) Quote from the coppermind: Quote Any Hemalurgy warps the spiritweb, but physical change is required for a subject to be classified as a Hemalurgic Construct. Four types of Hemalugic Construct are known on Scadrial: Steel Inquisitors are former humans with nine to eleven spikes, each charged with an Allomantic or Feruchemical power. Their characteristic eye-spikes grant them Allomantic iron and steel to "see" in lieu of eyes. A linchpin spike, placed in the upper back between the shoulder blades, holds their fraying spiritwebs together; removal results in death. Mistborn and Seekers are preferred candidates to become Inquisitors, due to their ability stacking with spikes granting Allomantic bronze, allowing Inquisitors to pierce Copperclouds.[51][66] Koloss are brutish, monstrous beings created with four iron spikes, each charged with human strength. They lose their intelligence, but gain immense strength. They continue to grow until they die. After the Final Ascension Harmony changed them into a breeding race.[67] Kandra are former Mistwraiths given sapience by two spikes, both charged with the same human attribute. To the Kandra this is known as a Blessing. It is possible for a Kandra to have sapience with only one spike, although their behavior will be more erratic as a result.[68] Chimeras are former humans, and are created with a single Trellium spike, charged with an unknown attribute.[68] Their single spike makes them invulnerable to Harmony's control, which requires two. They are quadrupedal, and their features have been twisted in such a way that they now more closely resemble canines, in addition to having thicker skulls to resist modern firearms.[69][68][70] The Set has developed a strain of Chimera with two spikes rather than one.[71] This strain is informally known as "Metal Mutants".[72]

WoB: Spoiler Argent The Hemalurgic constructs Bleeder uses. Do you have a name for them? Brandon Sanderson I have not named them yet. Should I? Is it important for fandom? Argent We don't know what to call them. Brandon Sanderson I have in my head that they're kind of Hemalurgic chimaeras. Argent Okay. We'll go with that. Shadows of Self Chicago signing (Oct. 12, 2015)
