* "Literature/TheHound1924": The creature depicted on the amulet is described by the narrator as a "crouching winged hound, or sphinx with a semi-canine face." As per the Necronomicon, it is the symbol of the corpse-eating cult of Leng in Central Asia. It is likely the form of the hound whose baying haunts the protagonists from the moment they set foot in the Dutch graveyard, but the creature is never directly observed to confirm.

* ''Fanfic/NineDaysDown'': Phix the sphinx, one of the inmates of Tartarus, has a lion-like body and a human face and breasts, with long ears and blue-and-white hair.

Usually, that request is "sit still while I eat you".
