description: 'Sphinxes are mystical beings with the body of a lion, the wings of a
|
|
great bird, and the upper torso and head of a human. They are often maligned in
|
|
legends as nothing more than monsters, and though they are quick to anger and are
|
|
capable of exacting deadly retribution for perceived slights, they are also very
|
|
intelligent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sphinxes are often associated with desert regions, but they can dwell in more moderate
|
|
climates as well. They form small groups consisting of a single, extended family
|
|
that hunts and works together to protect and teach their young. As they mature,
|
|
sphinxes develop a wanderlust, a drive to gather hidden lore and solve the world''s
|
|
greatest riddles—the trait that is perhaps most often identified with their kind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While sometimes bound into service as guardians for powerful spellcasters, lone
|
|
sphinxes may also be encountered on journeys of discovery and as purveyors of esoteric
|
|
lore. If treated with the proper respect—and fed well—a sphinx can demonstrate a
|
|
willingness to exchange information. Their favorite currency is, of course, riddles
|
|
and secrets. One who can trade knowledge for knowledge has a much better chance
|
|
of succeeding while bargaining with a sphinx. However, a sphinx''s insatiable thirst
|
|
for new riddles as well their extensive collection of secrets accumulated over hundreds
|
|
of years of life—makes it difficult to offer them something they don''t already
|
|
know. Those who attempt to trade petty insight and stale riddles may invoke a sphinx''s
|
|
ire and will not live long enough to regret it.
