Trivia

 * The Chimera resembles the giant bird from The Giant Claw, a 1957 science fiction film.
 * Talbot Peak is named after long-term Mirage Studios artists Eric Talbot.
 * When the Chimera got free from being under the rubble, roaring and stone debris flying about, this is a homange to Gargoyles, which Greg Weisman created and he wrote this episode. He is also into Greek Mythology.
 * The Chimera was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature, composed of the parts of more than one animal. Usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from his back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head. Due to its combination of animal features, the term is often used in modern parlance to refer to any hybrid.
 * "Eyes of the Chimera" is another name of Heterochromia Iridium, a genetic disorder in which each eye of the individual has a different coloration.
 * In a tie-in to Michelangelo describing the "Turducken" as a mythological hybrid when Donatello correctly guessed that the creature was a Chimera, Turducken is a dish consisting of a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, which is in turn stuffed into a deboned turkey. The word. turducken is a portmanteau of turkey, duck, and chicken. The dish is a form of engastration, which is a recipe method in which one animal is stuffed inside the gastric passage of another.
