Lammasu

Lammasus are kind and powerful magical beasts that seek to promote goodness throughout the world. They fight evil wherever it is found and aid noble heroes in their quests. Lammasus live in deserts and isolated parts of the world, where evil can be found to fester in secret.

Appearance
A lammasu appears to be a creature similar to a sphinx. They have the bodies of lions, with powerful feathered wings. They possess the heads of humanoids; males often wear long bears that become lost in their manes. A lammasu will often wear golden jewelry, bracers, and a crown. The average lammasu is 8 feet long and weighs about 600 pounds.

Lammasu Magic
Most Lammasus possess some magical abilities based on their faith in the power of Goodness. This can be represented by giving the lammasu a Divine Magic Array with slots for Healing, Nullify Mind Control and Summoning (exorcism), and Burst Area Damage Limited to Undead (channel positive energy) Powers.
