The sphinx is a mythical creature in the form of a winged lion with a human face.

A terrible fate awaits those who cannot answer whatever riddle it asks them. Most sphinxes are female and very temperamental. This one is male, and probably just as aggressive.

“What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?” This is perhaps the most regognised riddle that the sphinx askes of those who disturb it.
