Salazar's Sphinx
Salazar’s Sphinx
Large Construct, Lawful Neutral
CR 7 (2,900 XP)
Forged by the infamous artificer Salazar, the Salazar’s Sphinx is a masterpiece of arcane engineering and paranoia-driven design. These enigmatic guardians stand as the ultimate deterrent to intruders, combining lethal efficiency with intricate layers of magical protection. Each Sphinx is uniquely crafted, bearing distinct markings that allow its creator to track and neutralize them should they fall into the wrong hands.
Unlike ordinary constructs, a Salazar’s Sphinx wields devastating chronurgic abilities, warping the flow of time to disrupt, disorient, and ultimately dismantle those who dare trespass. It can shift targets forward in time, displacing them for hours, unraveling coordinated efforts, and ensuring that only the most prepared challengers stand a chance against its relentless watch.
While merciless in its pursuit of security, the Sphinx operates with a careful awareness of its environment, minimizing collateral damage to the space it protects. Those who seek to bypass this enigmatic guardian may attempt its Puzzling Passkey—a custom riddle programmed by its owner. Answering correctly will grant safe passage, while failure results in swift and inevitable consequences.
DMs seeking a formidable, puzzle-driven guardian for their campaigns will find Salazar’s Sphinx a perfect addition, offering high-stakes encounters and inventive problem-solving opportunities. Whether guarding an ancient vault, a royal treasury, or a hidden archive, this construct ensures only the worthy gain entry.
