doesn't the D&D chimera look sort of like a lion instead of a fish? I know the 'real' one had a lion head, a goat head, and a snake for a tail.

If you ignore the fantasy one, a chimaera is also a very real kind of fish , means something out of ones imagination, or is the cross between two animals of different kind, more generally ;)
