The Ultimate Chimera (きゅうきょくキマイラ, Ultimate Chimera) is a creature from the EarthBound series, specifically Mother 3.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Ultimate Chimera appears as a major stage hazard in New Pork City. Appearing randomly in any part of the stage, it walks slowly, stopping once there is a ledge to turn around. It attacks any fighters it encounters by biting at them. Its bite attack deals about immense damage (100% if the player is by the edge of its mouth, and 200% if trapped inside) and extreme knockback, usually resulting in a one-hit KO. The Ultimate Chimera is functionally invincible; it can only be defeated by destroying the makeshift bridge platform at the lower center of the stage when it walks over it.

Oddly, unlike most stage elements, the Ultimate Chimera has no trophy in Brawl.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

In Smash Tour

The Ultimate Chimera appears as red Trophy Item. When selected before a battle, it causes the user to take two fighters instead of just one from the last opponent they KO. It activates regardless of whether the user placed first in the battle.

Trophy information

The Ultimate Chimera trophy is part of the Mother Series Trophy Box.

Ntsc If you ever find yourself faced with this thing, run! There isn't enough time to stop and wonder what two creatures were combined to make this! It's so insanely out of control, even the people at the Chimera Laboratory wish they'd never made it. Eek!
Pal If you ever find yourself faced with this thing, run! Don't even stop to ask yourself, "which two species were mashed up to to create THIS?!", or you'll be the one getting mashed up. It's so insanely out of control, even the people at the Chimera Laboratory wish they'd never even made it. Eek!

Origin

The Ultimate Chimera as it originally appeared in Mother 3.

In Mother 3, the Ultimate Chimera is first encountered in the Chimera Laboratory in Chapter 7. Here, it is running amok and chases anyone who enters its line of sight, including Lucas and his party. It cannot be fought, as merely touching it on the overworld will cause a Game Over. When it spots Lucas in Mother 3, an exclamation point appears over its head and a distinct noise can be heard: the same sound is heard in Brawl when the Ultimate Chimera appears on the New Pork City stage.

The Ultimate Chimera is disabled by Salsa hitting the large button on its back; however, the bird on the creature's head revives it by pressing the button again. Later on, in Chapter 8, the Ultimate Chimera can be encountered again in the bathroom floor of the Empire Porky Building in New Pork City.
