newmonster   "Myrmecoleon"
descr        "The Myrmecoleon is another result of the terrifying breeding pits. Somehow, probably involving the expenditure of an extreme amount of life force , the Scourge Lord has managed to get a lion and an ant to mate. It is assumed that the pairing must consist of a male lion and an ant queen, as no other would produce such a fearsome creature.^ We have not, however, been able to deduce why the front is that of a lion and the back and legs those of an ant. If the Myrmecoleon follows the same laws as a centaur, we can conclude that the nobler part is made up from the head and torso, whereas the legs and lower body is made from the lesser of the two creatures combined.^ I assume that one can use this rule and calculate the nobility of the different parts of a chimera. However, many scholars are still occupied with the question of, "Is the sum of the parts more or less noble than the origin?""
