Homunculi are a special nature that are defined by their origin, chimera specifically are considered a fusion based race, but given that homunculi are very often artifically created through a shell, I can't see anyone just transforming into one without just dying (Which is the argument for why Dullahans are not selectable in the legend extension menu)

Well, according to peeps on lore channel you can make homunculi with a living being, but they are supposed to lose memory of who they were before. And homunculi can be feasibly created by player characters, dullahan creation is out of that scope though I think.

As per my last post, I never said it was impossible either, we're not exactly sure what is being described as a living being, the beasts which form it, or the shell itself. Which needs to be further elaborated.

- (Does anything else go into the creation of a chimera beyond the parts listed on the lore page?) Chimeras are not an exact science - they can be created by fusing different monster races, although they may lack some of the 'evolving' capabilities.

This seems to imply that chimera made outside of the most used methods are possible, though not quite having as much potential.



As far as we know, their shells are so malleable and quick to evolve and change because of the black beasts they are made of, which already in of itself are very odd creatures comparatively to the rest of the world's inhabitants.

Its easy for player opinion to snake its way in, but in truth we don't know a whole lot about Chimera.

Yeah... And Dev is too busy to answer our questions right now. But since homunculi are defined as 'fusion based' It likely means that they are 'fused' from different parts, which could include a person with homunculus parts. Like this part seems to assume you make a chimera out of something living 'Typically, only fusion-based homunculi can reproduce, and only with species they were compatible with before fusion.'
