Sphinx

Sphinxes are creatures with the bodies of lions, feathery wings, and human -like heads. Although they are a rare sight in Khorvaire , they have been spotted in the Talenta Plains and on the continents of Argonnessen and Xen'drik . [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Types of Sphinxes

There are various different types of sphinxes:

  • Androsphinx : Androsphinxes are always male and are the most common of the species of sphinx. They have razor-sharp claws, and a gruff demeanor. [1]
  • Criosphines : Criosphinxes are always male, but these sphinxes are less intelligent than the other species of sphinxes. These sphinxes use their horns to attack, as well as their claws. [3]
  • Gynosphinxes : Gynosphinxes are always females, and are the female counterpart to the androsphinxes. They constantly seek out new intellectual challenges. [1]
  • Heiracosphinxes : Heiracosphinxes are always male, and are always evil. They enjoy ripping creatures to shreds more than challenging them with puzzles. [3]
  • Loquasphinxes : Loquasphinxes can be male or female. They speak with truename magic , using it to find the truth from their targets. [6]
