Sphinxes are a proud and regal race. With the torso and head of a human fused with the lower body of a lion and great feathered wings, sphinxes are truly awe inspiring. They often have long hair and passionate, fiery eyes.
Sphinxes can be surprisingly emotional, switching modes at dizzying speeds however, they are also intelligent and think very logically, albeit rather rigidly. They tend to see themselves as superior and can be quite self-righteous at times. They are largely used as symbols of justice because Sphinxes seem to hold that value dear. They often act as self-appointed judge jury and executioner in matters they see fit to preside over. Sphinxes are prone to defend causes with passions which can sometimes lead them to a certain fanatism. They are very prideful and a sure fire way to kill yourself would be to insult them or there ideals.
Sphinxes of Felarya come in a range of sizes from 8 feet (head to ground)to 100 feet or more. they often have golden fur, hair and eyes and walk with a strut of superiority. They are skilled warriors and many find a living in guarding a place, person or thing they feel is worth of their protection.
Given their size, greater specimens are not as voracious as one would think. Most sphinxes like hunting alone and will get if possible their prey from a groups rather than cornering a single victim. This is considered dishonorable and unsatisfactory to them. They also strongly despise sneak attacks and will always openly annouce themselves before engaging an ennemy.
Sphinxes are dangerous on both ground and air and some of them master a powerful healing and protective magic. They tend to live near mountain ranges and open fields, where they can make good use of their great majestic wings.
Like one could figure, sphinxes absolutely despise harpies, their main rival as the dominant avian race of Felarya. The two races often waged wars in the past.
