Drake was leaning against the board. In the center was information about what the lesson would be and on the right side was a picture of the creature.
Sphinx
XXXX
Native to Egypt, this human-headed creature has a lion-like body, the capacity for human speech, and an innate love of puzzles and riddles, but due to its violent tendencies it has been placed in the 'beast' rather than the 'being' category.
The sphinx has been used by wizarding folk for centuries to guard treasure, and is noted for violence when that which it guards is threatened. The sphinx is very probably a wizard-bred species rather than a naturally occurring one, but we have no definite information on that point.
