History VideoGame / KhimeraDestroyAllMonsterGirls

''Khimera: Destroy all Monster Girls'' is an action platformer made by indie studio [[http://www.suitgames.com Suits & Sandals]] and made available [[FreewareGames for free]] on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on April 15, 2016 after being proposed on Greenlight. The story is about the thriving island of Morgana, set somewhere in the Mediterranean, home to a community of various monsters and creatures. One day the isle is attacked and plundered by a pirate crew known as Sea Spiders. The peaceful community that lives there is unable to defend itself from the menace, until a professor activates his latest creation: Chelshia, a synthetic chimera. Not only she is a mix of human, golem, harpy and oni, thanks to her creator she can also use the DNA of the defeated foes to gain new abilities.

* {{Adorkable}}: Chelshia is basically a newborn but she's already a big fan of video games and anime. [[spoiler:This helps her at the end of the game, when she and Amelia the harpy bond over their similar tastes.]] Bernadette the dullahan is also very goofy and lovable. And one of the girls at the weapon shop, the one with mouse ears, is outright described as a dork in her bio. It says that she buys weapons, records herself while making some fancy moves and then uploads the film on the net.

* TheSouthpaw: Chelshia's bio states that she's left-handed, and that she feels weird using her right hand to fight.

* MagneticWeapons: Bernadette wanted to upgrade Chelshia with a "rail gun" after the professor added the Golem Arm, but The Professor doesn't anything else to make Chelshia more combat ready.

* HeartsAreHealth: Chelshia's HealthMeter is represented by pink hearts, at the left of the screen, depleting from bottom to top.

* HeelFaceTurn: The more stages you clear, the more Sea Spider {{Mook}}s defect and take up residence in Ragnazza. [[spoiler: Eventually all the main bosses except for [[StarterVillain Serpantina]] and [[FinalBoss the pirate captain]] follow suit.]]

* EyeScream: The cyclops girl found in Windy Way, one of the optional locked levels, mentions that she's tired of seeing all kinds of invisible things with her eye, then ''rips it off'' and gives it to Chelshia. In-game, the eye's purpose is to highlight breakable walls that hide secrets. She reappears in the Harvest Festival DLC, surprised that her eye just grew back on its own.

** The fairy check-marks on the overworld map in stages with missing fairies resembles the artstyle of [[http://www.walfas.org/?page_id=44 KirbyM]]'s, whose chibi artstyle is used frequently in many ''Touhou'' Adobe Flash animations and create.swf.

** [[https://twitter.com/SyaxAttack/status/737924759086878720 Chelshia has mermaid DNA already, giving her the ability to breathe underwater. The prof thought of everything!]]

* WingedHumanoid: Chelshia has wings that appear when she double jumps. The regular fairies have wings, but the royal fairies don't, and then there's the {{harpi|ngOnAboutHarpies}}es.

* AntiClimacticUnmasking: When the [[spoiler:Harvest King]] is unmasked, Chelshia responds:
--> I have no idea who you are.

* PowerUpMagnet: The Lucky Chax Doll reward of the ChainOfDeals, which "[[FlavorText will pull treasure towards you!]]"

** Opening Bernadette's desk.
** Receiving the Witch Costume, when Chelshia discovers that it smells of fertilizer.
** "Wait, What?" after the Crab-girl says she'll climb on your back, in Brine Cave.

* CollisionDamage: If Chelshia bumps into an enemy, she gets damaged, and has a small amount of MercyInvincibility.

* MercyInvincibility: After getting damaged by anything.

* SequelHook: See CrypticConversation above, as it hints at more events happening, after the game is over.

* SnakePeople: Serpentina the Naga, and Nagas are different from the Gorgons, who have snake hair, and snake

* GameWithinAGame: At the professor's house Chelshia can play a NES-like console that opens up a mini game called ''Cakeboy'', inspired by [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'s earlier titles. Playing it enough is needed to net a Steam achievement, at Level 10 and also to obtain one of the missing notebooks at Level 15.

*** The {{Stinger}} is very reminiscent of the phone conversations that take place at the end of the credits in several Metal Gear Solid games.
*** The boss of the offshore oil platform level is [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Pacifica Oceana]]

** In the Pirate Explorer's bio, it mentions that their favourite video game is ''VideoGame/IceClimber''.

** When starting a stage, one of the possible sentences the game displays reads "The pirates stole the precious thing". This is a reference to the fanmade {{VideoGame/Touhou}} music video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ZXID1tPXs Marisa Stole the Precious Thing.]]
** In the town's shopping district, you can find a [[VideoGame/BladeAndSoul Lyn,]] complete with Hongmoon uniform.
** The fast food restaurant sells [[WebAnimation/KroboProductions chicken and winnigish.]]
