Necrosphinxes are nightmarish mechanical beasts of war and destruction that glide through the air in bounding leaps before falling amongst their terrified prey, scything down the living as mortals reap the wheat of the field. None can stand against such terrifying beings, and only when all before them have been butchered will they stop. A necrosphinx is a bizarre and horrifying statue, a strange amalgamation of the mythical beasts that are said to inhabit the Nehekharan underworld, maintaining order amongst the honoured dead. It has a torso and face of a man, and is armed with gigantic, scything blades that can chop off the neck of a dragon in a single slice. Many also have a scorpion-like tail, better enabling them to stand sentry against the predations of evil doers. Finally, sprouting from the statue's back are a pair of ornate wings which mimic those of the falcons that circle the highest levels of the underworld, keeping watch so that the souls of the damned may not escape. |
