Chimera was a Live action role-playing (LARP) convention held annually every August in Auckland, New Zealand. The convention was supported by the New Zealand Live Action Role Playing Society. It was the largest event of its type in New Zealand, attracting over 150 people. It did not have guests of honour.
The convention supported different styles of play, including live-combat and theatre-style games. It hosted a single large "flagship" game to provide a unifying experience for attendees.
