Delta is a chimera, a mythical monster from Greek myth. Her origin was not, however, from myth.

In Greece, a group of rich businessmen felt humiliated at the embarrassment their country suffered because of the rush to finish the Olympic stadium in 2004. They desired to show the world that Greece was still capable of astonishing technological achievements, and so they built a theme park centered around Greek myths. This was not unusual; however, rather than populate the park with robots or models representing the outlandish monsters, they opted instead to bring them to life via genetic engineering. For such a huge and monumental project, it was amazingly kept under wraps. There was no media coverage or announcements made.

It took a few tries, but soon enough many Greek legendary creatures were brought into existence. Manticores, Cerberus, the hydra-all became creatures of flesh and blood. They even had their supernatural powers. But they did not stop at the mere beasts. Horrifyingly, they had no qualms about messing with human DNA-and soon enough, centaurs, satyrs, and a minotaur were created. The park was set to go-except for one animal: the chimera.

Delta was not the last creature to be created, but she was more than a handful. For starters, even though she was female, she possessed a lion's mane. Her fiery breath and venom were also incredibly dangerous, so she was hidden away in a special enclosure inside a labyrinth. It worked for the minotaur, why not Delta?

Delta was still trouble even in there. When her keeper was found mostly eaten one day, it was decided then and there that something had to be done. She was injected with a substance designed to make her more placid. However, due to the mish-mash state of her DNA, it instead made her begin to grow larger and stronger. The sudden growth gave her an immense appetite, and after escaping again she made a meal of nearly every creature (bar the manticore) and person in the park before escaping, still growing larger.

It would normally be easy to find a 40 metre tall chimera. However, it was less a matter of people finding the monster as it was people being alive to tell the tale...
