Sphinx
A lion, with large wings of an eagle and the head of a human. The sphinxes are guardians of ancient treasures and will give you a riddle when met. If you fail the riddle they will eat you alive. If you get it correct, the sphinx will kill itself because it was outsmarted by someone it considers below them. They are a very rare species, thought to have died out years ago, but some may still be found guarding dangerous treasures or ancient tombs. They completely block out magic around them as well as drain it from the user until they run out. This is their most powerful aspect, even though they have little magic capability themselves.
Skills:

Horror Riddle: The sphinx tells a riddle to the opponent, and the opponent is instantly paralyzed. The sphinx is paralyzed as well until the opponent guesses the riddle wrong or right. If they guess right, then the sphinx will implode. If they guess wrong then the sphinx will become un-paralyzed and weaken the opponent.

*Magic drain: The sphinx’s only passive ability, which allows them to drain magic from anyone near them. Every turn ten magic is taken away. This is one reason some sphinx’s have been put to work as jailers, to keep magic users from breaking out.
