Are we allowed to have spinxs in our empire? or are they more an NPC guardian race. Im thinking of making a civilization that involves them.

If not, I will play some kind of horrifying abhuman fish people who want to ground people up into fertilizer for some kind of flesh forest. Because they believe humanity doing so would make the world a happier place.

you are allowed to have sphinx, but with the understanding that they are relatively rare and relatively hard to maintain.
