This alchemical tool appears to be foul smelling olive oil. It is normally made in one ounce volumes, as it is difficult and expensive to make.
Chimera Oil is one of the Grand Enchantments of Alchemy, along with The Elixer of Life, A Philosophers stone, and Golem Clay.
A few drops applied to a living thing, makes its flesh like clay. It can be shaped like clay. It can be merged and sculpted. When it dries, the flesh (and bone, and internal organs) return to their living consistancy. If you shape something into a new shape, the internal organs magikally fit the new shape. This is great for magikally changing shape (if you are a fine enough sculpter), taking parts from one animal and adding it to another (making Chimera), and a variety of interesting experiments in body morphics.

In the merging with the chimera oil, does it do anything for the scale of the creatures? The owl taking on mouse qualities, is that just an owl with whiskers and little round ears now or does it have a hairless tail and a toothed beak?
Great idea, just a couple of finer points.

The merging, as from the scenario, was the owl eating the mouse and absorbing its parts. In the way of Chimera, it is an owl with whiskers and little round ears, the process that works. If it was the hairless tail and toothed beak it would probably not live long.

How does the squirrel/bear/tree scenario work out?
What happens to mosquitoes? (yikes)

The squirrel/ bear/ tree was a terrible running accident at the wrong time. Squirrel and tree were merging and the bear got stuck in that combination and... it is just icky.
Mosquitos... ah my favorite vector for disease and genetic mismashing. How mean do you want to be? They will eventually suck something with a high enough concentration of oil in their body that they will turn into flesh clay and mold themselves to the next thing they try to bite (or even land on). They might actually just die off, as they turn into mangled clay shapes.

This gives me a great idea... some oil and fifteen soldiers... Smear the oil on their sides and you get like a unbreachable human barier of fifteen man wide. (Make sure you leave their arms untouched, so you have thirty arms on this wall.)
On a more serious note. I like the idea and the possibilities. I also see the drawbacks, so I better not give this item to my players. They would undoubtetly get themselves in trouble.

Yet, there are disguise uses, 12th century plastic surgery, monster creation, and 101 other uses, so you just want to have this stuff around.

I like the idea, but it seems incomplete. Not much background, and lots of mechanics aren't completely set to me. But the idea is supercool.

I agree with Zylithan though. Its about 1-2 additional paragraphs away from being a sure FIVER!

what if someone accidently gets some on themselves?, will they stay the way they are moulded for ever or what?
all in all a very good submission: 4.5/5

Who discovered Chimera Oil? How has it been used in the past? Interesting stories?
These are a few of the things I wouldn't mind finding out.
3.0/5 for a good solid idea, would have been a 4 if there was a history to go with it. That being said I'm judging it by todays standards, which have went up by a lot.
So, after reviewing my decision it now recieves: 4.0/5.

This isn't a "one time item", this is a liquid that any well stocked alchemist will have at least a dropper full of. (Made by some great alchemist somewhere else).
