The sphinxes, also known as the nemians or the griphons, are incredibly dangerous when angered. They are mostly protectors of the innocent and soldiers of causes they find just. They are also quite wise and united creatures, as only a few have gone rougue in their vague history. However, their high moral code causes them to be unable to lie or cheat, and, even if they serve your cause, will obliterate you if you do so. They have formed a republic to create union as to countering the unjust. They appear as lions, with fur immune to weaponry. They have large wings, color of which is determined by rank, that can disappear at the will of said sphinx. As much as their forms differ, they are considered to be somehow related to hexenbiester, as they have the ability to move objects through force of will alone, turn to stone, and even take the form of another being, as well as superhuman strength. For being seemingly undefeatable in battle, they were ordered into extinction by the Wesen council in 1400. There have been no reported sightings of one after 1423.
