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.

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 alerted, 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 later revives it by pressing the button again. In Chapter 8, the Ultimate Chimera can be encountered again in the bathroom floor of the Empire Porky Building in New Pork City.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a stage hazard

The Ultimate Chimera appears as a major stage hazard in New Pork City. Appearing randomly in any part of the stage, which uses the original sound effect when spotting Lucas, it walks slowly, stopping once there is a ledge to turn around. It attacks any fighters it encounters by biting them; it can even turn around and quickly bite. At the edge it deals 100% damage and extreme knockback rivaling Marth's Critical Hit, if closer to its center it instead deals 200% and even more knockback. Due to the amount of damage and knockback it deals, it will one-hit KO any character unless they are lucky enough to tech or bounce off several surfaces. The bite attack also includes the original sound effect.

The Ultimate Chimera is functionally invincible; it can only be indirectly defeated if it walks over the makeshift bridge platform at the lower center of the stage and a fighter destroys the bridge, causing it to fall off the screen. When it falls, the Chimera makes the same roar sound when spotting Lucas in Mother 3.

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 a 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.

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!

If you ever find yourself faced with this thing, run! Don't stop to ask yourself, "Which two species were mashed up 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!

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

As a stage hazard

The Ultimate Chimera returns alongside New Pork City. Unlike Brawl, it roars when it appears, allowing players that happen to be nearby to get away. Additionally when a fighter is close enough to trigger an attack, the screen will be tinted red and the Ultimate Chimera will briefly pause before biting. Its chomp is an instant KO instead of launching the fighter, though the attack still deals 100% damage (with the 1v1 multiplier still applying), but the added damage will only appear for one frame before the instant KO occurs.

Spirit

Ultimate Chimera also appears as an Ace-class support spirit. It can be summoned using the cores of Blargg and Pyoro.
