Nature

Strange creatures with the body of a lion, wings of a bird, and head of a man or woman, sphinxes are classified as a type of chimeran monster. They usually dwell in desert places and are very clever, and capable of speech. Aloof and unpredictable creatures, their motives are almost never clear, and they enjoy asking riddles of travelers and rewarding those who answer correctly, either with treasure or a piece of wisdom - even a prediction of the future.
