Chimera Anima

Chimera Animas (キメラアニマ, Kimera Anima) are monsters created by the Lemurians in Mythical Mew Mew. They're created when a jellyfish-like parasite attaches itself to a living organism; namely human souls, animals, and plant life.

The parasites used to create Chimera Animas come from the same planet as the Lemurians. Much like the jellyfish they resemble, these parasites are free-floating gelatinous creatures that lack bones and internal organs. They survive by latching onto stronger creatures and mutating them into ferocious monsters.

Chimera Animas can be created from most organic lifeforms. Human Chimeras can typically only be created when the human's spirit is removed and crystallized, they can also be combined with an animal or plant, which seems to negate the need for spirit removal. Plant and animal Chimeras only require the parasite to make physical contact, which it does by lengthening its tentacles, clinging onto its target, and disappearing into the life form.

In the short period of time between infusion and and the creation of a Chimera Anima, the infused life form will appear aggressive and on edge.
