|Rampancy is a form of cancerous insanity unique to infolife, by which an AI's personality matrix unravels as it uncontrollably bloats to fill all available processing resources. In rare cases a rampant AI can maintain a semblance of sanity by continuously shedding corrosive shards of its ego into everything it touches through the hyperlink. The most malicious of these shards are vomited into Executor manufacturing clusters to spawn horrors known as WENDIGO units, biomechanical proxies who act as antenna to spread their creator's viral machine code.

*Chimera, alongside [[MIRAGE-class Mjolnir|MIRAGE IIC]] are the first armor cores to feature entirely unique default [[Armor coatings (Halo Infinite)|armor coatings]], those being Domain Framework and Front Lines, respectively. [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]], and [[Yoroi]] utilize variants of Cadet Grey, while [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V [B]]] uses Cadet Blue. [[Eaglestrike]] and [[RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir|Rakshasa]] both utilize Sandgrass Fields.
*Chimera, alongside [[MIRAGE-class Mjolnir|MIRAGE IIC]] are the first armor cores in ''Halo Infinite'' to not feature a unique default visor, with both armor cores defaulting to the "Enlisted" visor utilized by [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mark VII]] if another isn't owned. One render created for the Firewall Fracture's [[Story Shard|Story Shards]] would instead opt to use the "Dragoon" visor to portray an Executor wearing the armor, while another would utilize an unreleased red visor.
