The Sphinx Grimm is one of my favorites. She was both a challenge and a blast to design - I really focused most on the humanoid aspect of a Sphinx for her face, so her skull is a mix of both feline and human.

Here are some initial roughs I did when figuring out how she'd end up looking :)

Team RWBY VS The Sphinx Grimm Part 2/2

Really loved the dual scythes in this scene. It may be a common farm tool that’s probably ineffective as all hell in actuality, but damn is it not cool here?

Do I need to explain why this is such a big problem? Dozens of flying Grimm when a single dozen with only one Sphinx caused a hell of a lot of trouble for the heroes, plus we now have this big lizard boi. And with everyone but Ren and Qrow without any of their aura, there’s very little our heroes can do now. It’s gonna take a miracle to win this fight without MAJOR casualties. And with several families we care very much about confirmed to be living here, we especially don’t want there to be many casualties. So yeah, pretty crappy odds.

Also, yes. I know I called them chimeras when they are actually manticores. I didn’t think to look up the name. I’m sorry.

No jokes. Just interesting fact. It’s like a Chimera. Also it’s super badass that Weiss froze its wings and Ruby and Qrow shot them off.
