@Riot: Is Warwick unique, or has chemtech created other chimeric creatures?

And more generally, "Chimerics" was a term used but not explained in the Piltover/Zaun stories; are they like Warwick (chemtech), like Camille (hextech-cyborgs), both/either, or something else?


Edit: I was referencing these lines:

From Caitlyn's Bio:

Caitlyn and the warden rescued the children after a battle with a host of rogue chimerics in the employ of a lunatic chem-researcher driven mad by his own concoctions.

From Camille's Tea With The Gray Lady Story:

She was a high-end chimeric, unlike any I'd seen in Piltover or Zaun.

Perhaps it's self-explanatory, but some disambiguation would be nice. :)

Warwick was Singeds first success and even that felt kinda accidental(Singed believed that Warwick was dead already and dumped his body in the trash,before WW came back to life) "chimeric" means merely that WW combines the features of different animals(WW has the body of a wolf and a man,as well as the ears of a bat and the tail looks more fox-like)

ChemTech isn't quite like Warwick exactly - Warwick is the result of Singed's experiments to tap into the most primal parts of a human's subconscious mind, hence drawing out the animal features and instincts of Warwick's body (blood-scent hunting, wolf-like appearance with fox tail and ears).

On the other hand, ChemTech Tryndamere is a little more "generic Zaun" flavoring; augmented people addicted to a chemically-induced rage, much like the chem-junkies in Jayce's color story. Although, while not like Singed's chimera research, ChemTech junkies and Warwick do share their chemically-induced rage states as a common factor.

I would say Warwick is the only chimeric person from Zaun in the sense that he's a combination of human and multiple animals. All other chimerics in Zaun and Piltover are likely just those who are augmented.

Although there are the Vastaya which seem chimeric in nature.

I'm curious if twitch is a chemiric rat. An experiment to awaken a rats mind and body to personhood
