+1 for the mention of Endoh's work -- Yusuke Endoh's YouTube channel with many of his quines is really fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/c/YusukeEndoh/videos
A quine that prints itself as scrolling text in an AVI file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMlJy5He-Tk
A self-similar quine that behaves like a fractal zooming out infinitely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J7u2G52scc
A quine with source code that contains sheet music to a Bach song in comments and plays it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OryXKUgRVOg

Wow, what a link. I submitted it just now as a separate HN post using your phrasing:
Classical examples of chimera/polyglots are:
PoC||GTFO International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or ... https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/
Corkami: https://github.com/corkami
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_(computing)
Apparently people on Stack Exchange have been working together on a single polyglot program for four years and have gotten a single codebase up to validity in nearly 300 languages.

Edit: also, Yusuke Endoh is a master at this art form
https://github.com/mame/quine-relay
and has even written a book about it

which I would still love to have available in English!
