The Sphinx are demi-god children of Dreous and a mixture of human, feline, and avian. With more bestial body structures or outright humanoid ones the Sphinx is a powerful entity with several variations. They were common when the Dreite ruled Dophia but now are rare still being found across Dophia, in the deserts of the Lands of Kain, and in small groups across the plane.  

 Ascended Sphinxes are large, monstrous, and powerful, having ascended to the status of Pagan Gods to the various bestial races. They are powerful creatures who can warp their domains to some degree.

Sphinxes are the pure blood children of Dreous, and the eldest of his brood become Greater Sphinxes. They can shift between quadruped and biped forms, human heads, neck, and chests, lion bodies, with large eagle wings. They are powerful beings worshipped by the bestial races and once they gain enough followers, they become Ascended.
