Collojinxes

Now is the time to tell you about the evil side of collosphinxes: collojinxes. A collojinx is quite simply an evil collosphinx. They have differences from normal collosphinxes, though. A collojinx could be another type of collosphinx: a Spider Collosphinx. The spiders are closer to a spider version of the part human-part horse centaurs. I won't really go into the details, but you'll know one if you are ever unfortunate enough to see one.

All collosphinxes come from either the spirit or demon domain, and the ones from the demon domain are evil. The domains determine, with the help of the essences, what powers a collosphinx has. Another difference: While not all are Spiders, they all have powers from the Demon Domain instead of the Spirit Domain. The domains are like the essences, but more of them. There are light, dark, love, hate, good, and evil domains, to name a few. Each collosphinx has powers from two of the domains as well as one of the essences. None have from the Good, Evil, Love or Hate domains, as those are reserved for the Angels, but I won't go into that now. Collojinxes tend to have darker powers and will actually switch from darker to lighter if they become good. It also works the other way around, if they become evil: they develop darker powers and switch to the demon domain. The business of domains is very complex, I must say.

Collojinxes often appear more powerful than collosphinxes, but aren't always. The appearance of power is actually their lack of compassion, humility, and restraint. The appear more powerful because they are more inclined to use their power. If it was between a collojinx and a collosphinx who had nothing to lose and everything to gain, it would be actually more likely that the collosphinx would win. They're powers are equal, it just depends on what drives them to use them.

Common Collosphines

There are four types of collosphinx: cat, dog, bird, and snake. I mentioned in the first blog that the cat ones have cat ears and tail. Dogs are the same, but with a dog's ears and tail. The bird and snake ones have feathers or scales on the back of their arms. Sometimes a snake collosphinx will have a forked tougne.

Each collosphinx has special powers that aren't widely spread. Unfortunately, this is partially due to the fact that there aren't many left. They have a power that comes from one of the four essences: fire, water, air, and earth. Some produce balls of what their essence is, high winds in the case of air, which can be made into superballs if combined properly. Other times they can control their essence with their minds. This is far less common than the balls, due to the superior magic involved.

Collosphinxes will also have a talent in one of the arts. Things like dancing or singing or acting, or the type of thing you would find in an art museum are usual.

One thing that it is important to know when dealing with collosphinxes is NEVER annoy them too much. They have a number of ways to cause pain. The one that all collosphinxes have is the Murderous Stare. Basically, if they get mad enough, they can look at you with so much hate that it can burn, shoot daggers at, and/or paralyze the annoyance. They don't usually, unless they're collojinxes (evil collosphinxes). Be careful anyway.
