Homebrew Demisphinx Species Details
These creatures are similar in appearance with sphinxes, as humanoids with cat tails and lion heads. These cat tails, however, bear spear heads. Demisphinx were built to protect a system of desert temples, possessing the ability to stand completely still and wait for long periods of time, much like gargoyles. In addition, their pearls for eyes, with varying colors, glow when the demisphinx are active.
