Chimera Origin
New origin that can modify their body parts
About this Mod
Chimera
An Origins add-on that adds a chimera background to the game.
"Born pretty weak, Chimeras survive and adapt by changing their body parts and mimicking other creatures."
You have 2 fewer hearts than others, and can only eat meat. But you have 5 new body modification slots in which you can install other mob's body parts, extending your abilities.
Modifications

- Chimera Prime core: Removes penalty from switching modifications. Reduces the cooldown before a modification can be used after equipping.
- Blaze core: Grants fire resistance, lava vision, faster movement in lava, and makes you always on fire. Water will hurt.
- Dragon heart: Grants 6 extra hearts and better health regeneration.
- Prismarine core: Grants water breathing, better water vision, faster movement in water, and removes block breaking slowdown in water.
