Sphinxy

Usually a statue in the underground tombs, Sphinxy is a gynosphinx. She rather hates the name Sphinxy, but will not tell anyone her real name (so many, including Nahas, think it must be really embarrassing). She is proud—even for a sphinx—of her gameplay and ability to solve riddles, but she made the mistake long ago of cheating at a game of Serpent’s Coil against her friends Nahas and Afranta. This set into motion a magical mishap that led to the vicious conflict over the oasis that still wages centuries later.
