## Actions
***Multiattack.*** The sphinx makes two claw attacks.
***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* `+12` to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 17 (`2d10 + 6`) slashing damage.
***Roar (3/Day).*** The sphinx emits a magical roar. Each time it roars before finishing a long rest, the roar is louder and the effect is different, as detailed below. Each creature within 500 feet of the sphinx and able to hear the roar must make a saving throw.
- **First Roar.** Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is [frightened](rules/conditions.md#frightened) for 1 minute. A [frightened](rules/conditions.md#frightened) creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- **Second Roar.** Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is [deafened](rules/conditions.md#deafened) and [frightened](rules/conditions.md#frightened) for 1 minute. A [frightened](rules/conditions.md#frightened) creature is [paralyzed](rules/conditions.md#paralyzed) and can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- **Third Roar.** Each creature makes a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 44 (`8d10`) thunder damage and is knocked [prone](rules/conditions.md#prone). On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked [prone](rules/conditions.md#prone).
