Less “magical” than their more human-seeming kin, the criosphinx is a winged lion with the head of a ram. These creatures simply collect treasure and hunt much as other intelligent beings. They attack with front claws and can headbutt an opponent. On a successful roll of 20, a head-butted opponent is stunned for a single round.
