Chiron is a curious object. It's the size of an asteroid , but is composed more like a comet , and is called Chiron after one of the centaurs, the half-horse, half-human creatures of Greek mythology. In fact, Chiron is over 50,000 times the regular size for a comet, but has a coma that can be detected, showing that it is more comet than asteroid.
