Monsters are creatures found throughout various regions of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.
History[]
While there is no defined history of how the monsters came to be, it is known that several hostile creatures took over Heliopolis when Set came to power over Egypt. Some creatures respawn in their locations, while others don't naturally live there and hence do not respawn. The Abydos Museum in Abydos gladly accepts donations of these monsters and displays them in the Natural History portion of the building.
Monsters[]

These monsters are already in the Abydos Museum; most of them cannot be captured at all.
Purchasable or Tradable[]
Most of these monsters cannot be found in the wild, but may be purchased from Montu's Monster Shop or traded for.
Hostile and Capturable[]
Trivia[]
- All but a few monsters seem to spawn and die in a flash of light. swimming monsters appear to simply flip over and fade away.
- The Fire Armadillo and the Slim Burble are the only monsters that can be used as a tool; Fire Armadillos are used for setting wood on fire, while the Slim Burble is used to destroy various objects with explosions.
- Judging by a comment from Imhotep, it can be assumed that most, if not all, of the monsters are actually Egyptian demons.
- According to the Book of Sphinx, there are two extra monsters that are never seen. They are:
