Description I love making original species!

So, all Sphinx are winged. They have cat paws on the front and hooves on the back, and have cat-like tails covered in long hair. Their manes tend to stick out like narrow manes. Royal Sphinx, the pharaohs, wear hoods made of gold and silk with a sculpted cobra at the crown. The snake's eyes are gemstones enchanted by the Sun Goddess and allow creatures wearing the hood to use minor magic. Sphinxes do not have Cutie Marks.

The age thingy at the bottom goes as follows;
Infant (0 - 5 weeks) - weak and blind, can crawl, can't fly, and can't speak.
Foal (5 - 15 weeks) - can see and walk, but talks minimally and can't fly.
Colt/Filly (15 - 45 weeks) - can see, walk, and talk fully, and have their first flight.
Adult (45 weeks - 30 years) - in their prime, able to fly, speak, see, and walk. This is the stage when they choose their partner and have their skydance.
Elder (30 - 60 years) - having lost most of their ability to see and fly, elders serve as communicators to the Sun Goddess. They are highly revered and respected. (not pictured)

These are so gorgeous! Please let me know if you ever make any adopts of them! I would really love to have a whole flock of Sphinx if possible!❤ (If you couldn't tell already, my top weaknesses for characters are dragons, cats and ponies lol.)

they're an open species, so you can make as many as you want so long as i'm credited! the ref sheet (a. fair bit outdated but still functional) can be found here!

im glad you have such an interest in them!

A sphinx with hooves? Then again you needed to replace human parts with something and leaving it just a winged lion would make it a lammassu (sp?)


What is their diet?

Depends on the preference of the Sphinx, and the types of teeth they have; some have more molars than fangs, and vice versa. They're all omnivores, however, and since their cities usually have markets with goods from all over, meats and fruits are usually the base meal.
