	Catoblepas
		The catoblepas is a creature from nightmares that inhabits swamps and marshes.

		If the catoblepas has to swing its head back and forth to follow a target (such as one that is constantly moving) the DC is increased by +4.

		While the chimera is a combination of a lion, goat and dragon, a gorgimera is a combination of a lion, goat and catoblepas, a mythical bull-like creature that was believed by the Greeks to live in Africa.
		It was also called a gorgon after its ability to turn creatures to stone, like the Greek gorgon Medusa, hence the gorgimera's name.
		It's presumably a combination of the chimera and the sphinx, in the same way that the gorgimera is a combination of chimera and catoblepas (A.K.A. gorgon), but it's difficult to tell precisely what the sphinx has to do with it from looking at the sprite.

		The catoblepas is a monster from Ethiopian myth.
		However, even those who don't meet the catoblepas' gaze, but are simply caught in the creature's line of sight may perish (treat as a ray, +4 ranged touch attack, range 180 ft., Fortitude negates [DC 16] death).
		At first blush, grimlocks are not marsh creatures and catoblepas are not mountain or underground creatures, plus catoblepas are slow and have a hard time lifting up their heads (which was included in the submitted draft), making them poor mounts.

		Its head is so heavy that it is unable to lift is and so the beast must drag its face across the ground, and even were this not the case it would be unable to do so, as it possesses a mane of stiff bristly hair that covers its face and prevents movement.
		It is rumoured that a single gaze from the Catoblepas can kill and creature, but the source of this myth is unknown since the manner in which the creature is never able to look up means that it has never killed anyone with such a gaze.
		The Catoblepas is thought to be a timid beast that desires little more than solitude.
