War sphinx

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 By the time Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting visited the planet, the suits were considered antiquated and outdated.

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.

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.
