Sphinx of the Undura

Difficulty: 15 | HP: - | Stress: 3
Motive: This towering creature guards the entrance to the Undura court. In order to pass by it — in or out — you must answer its riddle. Sphinxes will let you do whatever you want if you answer their riddles.

Sphinxes are technically demons — created by the infernal lion-god Jadeph.
As far as demons go, sphinxes are incredibly intelligent and incredibly powerful — on par with celestial angels. But they have a glaring weakness. If you defeat the sphinx’s riddle, it will consider you a superior opponent, and will let you do whatever you want to it.

Riddles in the Dark
