Myth/Legend: The (Grecian) sphinx.

Summary/Link: Click here to learn more about the sphinx's role in myths and lore! Otherwise, stick around for my little explanation of my take on the sphinx.

Basically, I really like Grecian-model sphinxes, although I have adapted certain traits. In my mind, the sphinx exists as a species, and doesn't have the snake tail (in the interest of making sure that the sphinx isn't simply a riddling chimera); they can also have traits from various birds, big cats, and human ethnicities, hence this sphinx's black fur. They're very clever and magical, though most of them have no interest in guarding anything; sitting around at city gates is boring! Thebes here (their real name isn't actually "Thebes", but their real name has been lost to time) is no exception. Thebes is a major figure in a story of mine, and without them, monsters may never have survived to present day, wow! Unfortunately, Thebes themself has been sort of stepped over since their death. The only thing left of their legacy is the image of a dark-furred sphinx whose magic helped out monsters everywhere.

Piece of work:

Extra: The "they"s and "their"s aren't a slip-up; Thebes is agender.
