Yes. In RE1, DC, and RE (2002) they only appear in the lab area of the game in a couple of select locations. In DS (2006) they changed it so that they first appear in Mansion 2, a little after the Hunters. There's a library maze you have to solve some puzzles in where a Chimera stalks the player using really cool perspective tricks with the fixed camera, and you never get a good look at it until it finally attacks you when you try to leave the room. It's so fucking creepy and cool. They also appear in the caves area instead of you fighting only a gajillion hunters. One of the best things about including Chimera this way is it makes Jill's flame rounds actually useful outside of Plant 42 and presents Chris with a good reason not to hoard magnum rounds, as while his Shotgun can knock down Hunters, Chimeras in DS will just straight up tank a shotgun blast.
Also, it looks like tha quite literally because it is supposed to look like picrel. (Cont.'d)
