Sphinxes are a type of winged lion monster.
Overview[]
Sphinxes are large beasts that resemble a huge lion with wings, and a human face. Their shoulder height easily exceeds the height of a human, and they posses the agility of a cat, the superhuman strength of a giant monster, and strong front legs.[1][2]
The Sphinx is highly intelligent, and can use powerful Shield spells to repel magic, and use magic to summon storm winds. Their roar contains powerful dark preist magic that can cause paralysis, and confusion, in enemies, which weaken their defenses.[1][2]
They live in warm areas, and are divided into two types. The male sphinx is called Andro Sphinx (in Egyptian ruins there are often statues of winged lions with a human's head). The female version of this species if called Jino Sphinx (in Greek mythology its a mystic creature with the face and breasts of a woman).[1][2]
History[]
Ten sphinx were part of the forces Ba Thory, and Maclalpine Toni Strauss, used to attack the Samurai Residence. During the attack they inflict heavy damage to the fortress, and kill many Samurai. The Sphinx's powerful magical shield made them immune to most of the Samurai's attacks. They are eventually wiped out by the Napalm Death spell cast by the resurrected Dark Schneider.[3]
