War Sphinxes were midsize Forerunner fighting suits, twelve of which were left on Earth during the Human-Forerunner War. By the time Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting visited the planet, the suits were considered antiquated and outdated.[1]

Description

The suits were described as being ten meters high and twenty long, with an elongated tail that provided lift and power. From the "tail" rose a large rounded torso with a command cabin perched on top.[1]

Trivia

  • In one of the Terminals, a recommendation of Forerunner armor by Mendicant Bias is accompanied by a mysterious image. This image depicts a bulky, rounded object with what appears to be a long tail and a humanoid figure inside. This seems to match Halo: Cryptum's description of a War Sphinx.
