Today we're whispering to you all about the secrets of one of the weirdest and most interesting monsters in 5e Dungeons and Dragons: the SPHINX! Sphinxes have incredible, time-bending lair actions and are a tough, high CR combatant, but are way more interesting to interact with as an NPC. Sphinxes are so evocative, you can create whole campaigns around them with ease.
