Magic Weapons Shielded Mind: Sylens is immune to scrying and to any effect that would sense its emotions, read its thoughts, or detect its locations.   Temporal Shriek (3 times per day.): The sphinx releases a shriek of temporal chaos in a 10 ft cone. Creatures caught in the cone must succeed on a DC 17 WIS save or be affected by the slow spell.

Actions

Multiattack. The sphinx makes 2 claw attacks   Claw Melee Weapon Attack. +8 to hit, reach 5 ft, one creature. Hit: 8 (1d6+5) magical piercing damage.   Bite Melee Weapon Attack. +8 to hit, reach 5 ft, one creature. Hit: 8 (1d6 +5) magical piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be put to sleep. Creatures effected by this become immune for the next 24 hours.

A small and lithe beast, a highly specialized creature. About 2 feet long with a strong housecat's body, atop which sit a pair of beautiful spotted and mottled owl wings, most similar to the barn owl. The strangeness of this creature reaches its peak when the viewer's eyes reach the head, what may have been mistaken for a tressym becomes quite distinctive when the baboon head comes into view--with bright red and white stripes and fangs just poking out past the lips, you are surprised to still hear a soft purr emanating from its chest.
