Dusk

Dusk is a giant sphinx-like being who slumbers in the centre of the Rem Forest, inside an underground chamber under the ancient Sandman Temple.
They were originally created by the gods themselves and put on the temple in order to protect it from monsters and intruders. In ancient times, the old temple was used to provide direct communication with the gods, as long as the visitors were capable of answering Dusk's riddle correctly.
If they failed to answer, Dusk would not hesitate to devour them.
== Appearance ==
Dusk is absolutely massive, being roughly 100 meters tall, and even taller when fully stretched.
They are centaur-like, having a body similar to that of a lion with dark blue fur and orange accents. Their back legs are actually bird-like and they wear golden accessories resembling armour.
The blue mask they wear is part of their face and they appear to have two pairs of furred ears on each side of their head, as well as two golden horns. They have a large mane the same colour as their fur and the golden sun and moon symbol of the gods appears to float over their head.
They actually do have a mouth which is actually under their mask, having large sharp teeth. You can see it. But only once. Strangely, this mouth is never used for speech.
Their upper body has tan skin, their chest covered in golden armour and their arms also being covered in blue fur, with lion-like paws rather than regular hands. Under the armour, Dusk actually has female breasts, and on their back, they have two large wings covered in pale blue feathers.
== Personality ==
As an ancient monster, Dusk appears cryptic and feral. Although being capable of speech, they mostly act animal-like, remaining loyal to their duty to guard the temple.
Mostly they just sleep for centuries and even millennia, only ever waking up when someone enters their chamber.
== Abilities ==
* Communicating telepathically
* Loud growls which can probably be heard on the whole forest
* Flight, though they don't do it too often since the chamber they live in isn't that large
* Very large and physically strong
* Top of the food chain as far as dream monsters are involved
== Trivia ==
* Dusk's design takes inspiration on some of the unused concept arts for Aurelion Sol from League of Legends, as well as Alexandrite from Steven Universe.
* Dusk was actually the first living creature that Dawn and the Sandman created together. They are nearly as ancient as the dream world itself.
