28 If I play a Chimeric Idol, and then activate it so it becomes a creature, can it then attack this turn? (Magic: The Gathering Rules)

No. All permanents have "summoning sickness", but only creatures
are affected by it. When Chimeric Idol becomes a creature, it still has
summoning sickness, and since it is now a creature, it cannot attack.
