Reference during character creation

A lion-like people from far lands.

Sphinxes fall in the human range of height and weight. They have leonine bodies capable of walking upright or on all fours, with short, golden fur covering them from head to foot. They have the tails of lions, and their facial features mingle human and lion. Males have thick dark manes that grow from the back of their skulls and necks to form a collar of sorts. All sphinxes have vestigial feathered wings.
