Sphinx
Sphinx are composite creatures. They all have the body of a large cat and wings, but their heads can vary greatly.
Sphinx always have the body of a large cat (such as a lion or a panther), the wings of a bird of prey (such as an eagle or a hawk), but their heads can differ vastly. Some Sphinx have a humanoid head, others have the head of another animal such as a ram, a cat, or a bird.
A Sphinx's colouring can also vary; some have the colouring of their animal counterpart while others may have brightly coloured fur or feathers (such as blue or gold).
They are akin to humans in size with heights between 4 and 7 feet.
Because of a Sphinx's Innate Wisdom and animal bodies they have the following advantages.
ability score increase:
Sphinx have a +2 bonus to their initial Wisdom score, and a +1 bonus to their initial Dexterity score.
age:
Like humans, sphinx reach adulthood in their late teens and can theoretically live into their 80's.
alignment:
Most sphinx lean toward some form of neutrality.
