    desc: "  Any ability that would sever a chimera's head (such as a critical hit with a vorpal weapon) severs one head at random. Losing a head doesn't kill a chimera (as long as it has one head left), but it does prevent it from making [[Strike|Strikes]] with the lost head or using the head's Breath Weapon."
