Sphinges

A sphinx (pl. sphinges) is a beast with the body of a lion and a human head. In RuneScape, sphinges are also depicted with wings (albeit not appearing to be functional). The one living sphinx found in game is located in the quarantined city of Sophanem.

Sphinges have root in Egyptian, Oriental and Greek myth, most notably being the Sphinx at Giza and the Sphinx at the gate of Thebes, which features prominently in the Oedipus myth.

Accepted Lore

 * There are or were more than one sphinx, as proven by dialogue with Bob the Jagex Cat wearing the Catspeak amulet.
 * Sphinges have a natural affinity for cats.

Debated Lore

 * Sphinges may not like humans, on account of the Sophanite sphinx's dismissive attitude towards them.
