Chymera has red skin and hands, and white, messy hair. He wears a tiger-pattern scarf. The top half of his body has brown fur with a lighter belly, while his bottom half is orange with tiger stripes. His green tail is a snake.
Chymera can be rarely found in the Daydream Domain in Sparkopolis, primarily in the Shopper's Paradise part. After initially visiting it as Hailey, the Daydream Domain can be revisited with a Yo-kai Spot by the theatre.
He can also be found in the Springdale Sewers - Yo-kai Parade Mural accessed from the Academy Shortcut during and after the quest "The Calamity that Lurks Below...".

Etymology
"Nue" is taken from the mythological youkai of the same name.
"Chymera" is a corruption of chimera.
Origin
As its Japanese name implies, Chymera is based on the creature called nue: a legendary shapeshifting youkai, sometimes referred to as the "Japanese chimera". Its true appearance has the face of a monkey, a tiger's legs, the body of a badger and a snake's tail, and its cry sounds like that of a White's thrush. In its most famous appearance, it turned into black smoke and hung over the Kyoto Imperial Palace causing the emperor to become sick, until Minamoto no Yorimasa aimed an arrow into the black cloud and struck it down.
Trivia
His "random" nicknames are Monty, Blondie, Stripes, and Speedy.
