The creative submissions over at worth1000 this week included contributions for a contest titled ‘Chimaera 10’ which asked [photoshop pros](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chitrmelacom) to [combine three creatures in one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-monster)! Seen in the gallery are photoshopped chimaera pictures of a Monkowlephat; a Doberman, hawk and rhino crossbreed; a Spring Chimaera (fish, frog, elephant); an octopus-tentacled chameleon bird; a Tapengogish (tapir, penguin, dog, dish); a Tarentola chimaera (I’m guessing a hawk, lizard and Pegasus?); an Elecowgir (elephant, cow, giraffe); Arminguanorinokerus (armadillo, iguana, rhinoceros); a lion, meerkat, lobster and elephant chimaera; and a Hog-Bat-Toad. So remember, when you’re bored of real-life animals, there’s always chimaera! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fantasy Creature Hybrids:** Opportunity for innovative concepts merging different animals into new mythical creatures. - **Digital Art Contests:** Opportunity for enterprises to host design competitions involving digital art. - **Alternative Animal Products:** Opportunity for businesses to develop alternative animal-based products which utilize a hybrid of different animals. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity for graphic design firms to create hybrid creature designs for various industries. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for entertainment companies to utilize new chimaera creatures in the development of movies, TV shows, or video games. - **Food Science:** Opportunity for food industry manufacturers to create new hybridized animal-based food products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Hybrid Mystery Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-x-vegetable-gachapon.md) - [Size-Scaled Block Puzzle Retiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legotruman.md) - [Hybrid Meat Vegetable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leyu-li.md) - [Interactive Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-plush-toys.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Fantastical Creature-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irnbru-xtra-legend-editions.md) - [Futuristic Museum Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unnatural-history-museum-of-singapore.md) - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Immersive Holographic Zoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hologram-zoo.md)
