Great Chimera's Gate (20x40)

Added 2021-04-01 02:58:59 +0000 UTC

Wind howls as it passes through the narrow canyon passage, stirring up dust as it sweeps the craggy walls. A winding switchback climbs alongside a cascading run, and an unadorned bridge crosses above a majestic waterfall. A massive stone gate towers over the peak height of the passage, with the stream and the pathway descending from beneath it. The carved heads of a dragon, a lion and a ram protrude from above the arching gateway, bearing a striking resemblance to the three heads of its terrifying guardian that emerges from the threshold.

This month's patron-selected boss monster map is the Great Chimera's Gate, and I'm pretty excited that this is what you picked this month. This map pack was really a blast to make. In addition to 14 variants(!) all CR 5 and up patrons will also have access to the Great Chimera tokens. I've created 3 token variants, and this time there's a bit more than just color changes. For a classic 5e chimera, I have created one with a red dragon's head, tail and wings. If you'd like to mix things up, I've included a blue chimera with a scorpion's tail and a green chimera with a three-pronged flail tail. The token is scaled to 4x4 (huge size) but feel free to scale it down if you'd like to use it as a regular chimera (2x2 or large).

As with last month's boss monster map, I have had the privilege of collaborating with McRoMusic for a great track! Check out more of his music at his Patreon. This track is included as a patron-exclusive bonus for all tiers of patronage!
