Sphinx- Sphinxes are a proud and regal race with the head and torso of a human fused with the lower body of a lion. With their great feathered wings on their backs, they are truly awe-inspiring. They often have long hair and passionate, fiery eyes.
Sphinxes can be surprisingly emotional, and are known to quickly switch from from mood to another. In spite of this, they are intelligent and think very logically, albeit rather rigidly. They tend to see themselves as superior to everyone else, and can be quite self-righteous at times. They are often used as symbols for justice because Sphinxes seem to hold that particular value strongly. They often act as a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner, in matters that they see fit to preside over. Sphinxes are prone to defend causes with great passion, which can sometimes lead them to being fanatical about it. They are very prideful, and a sure fire way to commit suicide would be to insult one of them or their 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 self confident swagger. They are skilled warriors and many make a living guarding places, people, and things that they feel is worthy of their protection.
In spite of their size, larger specimens are not as voracious as one would expect. Most sphinxes like hunting alone and will, if possible, get their prey from a group rather than cornering a single victim, as they feel it is more of a fair contest if the prey is allowed to counter their physical weakness with larger numbers. They also strongly despise sneak attacks and will always openly announce themselves before engaging an enemy.
Sphinxes store food they eat first in their human stomach, but once it becomes full, the contents are transferred to a second stomach, much larger, situated in their feline part. Sphinxes are dangerous on both the ground and in 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.
