Rhyoses are very similar to Chimeras, but their attacks are just powerful enough to be a serious threat to your lightly armored characters. Each hit isn't likely to do too much, but with four attacks, it adds up quickly. They alternate between the standard Chimera Blaze attack and a Poison-elemental Petrification attack that you should be able to safely ignore at this stage of the game. Don't forget your Aegis Shield!

Chimeras are dangerous creatures that are quite good at chipping away at your party's HP. Their normal attack is not terrible dangerous, but with four hits they often break through with decent damage against non-Knights. Their Blaze attack doesn't do incredible damage, but in groups it can add up quickly. It's not a bad idea to put up NulFire when you meet multiple Chimeras. They can be taken out quickly with solid physical attacks, but magic is not very effective. Even Ice magic is iffy due to their high HP.

JIMERAS are similar to CHIMERAS, with the addition of a POISON attack that can inflict Stone. As long as everyone has a Ribbon or the Aegis Shield, this should not be a problem.

Rhyoses are very nasty foes. They have the same Blaze 7 attack as Chimeras, but also have Bad Breath 6. This isn't the usual Malboro Ability, it's simply Petrifying breath. Petrification this early in the game is really nasty, as your Esuna Spell may not even be able to cure it outside of combat.
