It's Chimera Research

The Chimera Laboratory is a location in Mother 3. It is located to the left of Club Titiboo and Murasaki Forest. It belongs to the Pigmasks, and is filled with equipment, animal and Chimera skeletons, preserved bodies, as well as a few live Chimeras. Dr. Andonuts works here as one of the head scientists.

When Lucas arrives, he is again mistaken for a member of the army, and is given a part-time job in the laboratory. Pigmasks will not attack Lucas in this area during this time, although he cannot leave the vicinity.

Salsa and his girlfriend Samba are roaming around in the laboratory, and causing a problem for the Pigmasks, as they need Salsa's assistance to open a door to one of the Seven Needles. Lucas has been assigned to help find and capture them. After an encounter with them, leaving the room triggers a boss fight against the Almost Mecha-Lion.

After an encounter with the Almost-Mecha Lion, Lucas is informed of a "red Chimera with a huge mouth" and is also told how dangerous it is. After finding Salsa and clearing the area, the Ultimate Chimera is no longer a threat, but Pigmasks will recognize Lucas as an enemy, and will attack him.

After this, the Laboratory serves little to no purpose other than a few enemies needed for the Battle Memory.
