THIS IS NOT A SPHINX, IT WAS *NOT* INTENDED TO RESEMBLE A SPHINX, IT HAS *NOTHING* TO DO WITH SPHINXES. IT WAS NOT BASED ON ONE IN ANY MANNER.

STOP CALLING IT A SPHINX IT IS NOT A MOTHERFUCKING SPHINX

it's supposed to look like the symbol for mega evolution itself. If you recall, Absol was in the first trailer that revealed mega evolution. It was probably one of the first megas they ever designed

It's certainly one of the first ones they finalized. The first megas were the Kanto starters.

Why shouldn't it have wings?
They do actually serve a functional purpose, acting as a fan for their (literally described) "fearsome aura." So while it's not flight, they can cause heart attacks by beating them, so that's cool I guess.

Australia lost a war to the emu, not the cassowary.
Also the cassowary was the first thing I looked up, but apparently they have non-functional claws instead of wings, so they're ironically WORSE than the Absol in this regard.

>>57774166
You probably would, but it's a great bucket list item anyways.

The cassowary is the coolest bird but also the emu looks nothing like it. Again, the cassowary doesn't even have wings, just claws that it can't position in any meaningful way to attack with. If anything, it's a dumber looking ostrich instead.

Their are birds with wings that serve functionally no purpose anymore (like Kiwis) but Emus/Ostriches/Cassowaries aren't some of them. They use them to brake and steer when running at high speeds, to cool themselves off, for defensive displays, etc.

And the wings on the Absol also serve functional purpose.
That was kinda my point. The wings did not wings on the emu but they still had a use.

>>57774327
The riflemen wouldn't have done much better. The birds actually had lookouts to warn the others of the soldiers after a short bit, and the riflemen would've ran into the same exact problem.
It was just easier to subsidize the farmers to do it themselves, since the birds were already encroaching on the farmer's lands as is... which they did, to prompt and great success.

Mega Absol is fairly Sphinx-like, even if it is not an outright sphinx.
Body looks somewhat feline, has the wings, and the face is human enough by anime standards.

Absol is based on a Bai Ze/kutabe. It takes the form of a leonine or bovine like beast that forewarns leaders of danger. Mega Absol is, as >>57774793 says, very similar to a sphinx. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it less true.

Absol using its horn to slash has always been dumb as hell because the direction its horn is at means it has to contort its head to slash or stab with it. Attacking with its sharp claws or its tail makes much more sense, it's a large feline Pokemon, and large felines attack with their claws.

>Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the sphinx. Its ruff resembling long human hair and a male lion's mane and the white fur on the top of its head loosely resembling the headpiece of an Egyptian sphinx also suggests this.
>Mega Absol's wings and elongated fur give it the appearance of an angel, with its wings also being reminiscent of Greek portrayals of sphinxes and furthering the connection to sphinxes noted above.
Not unreasonable to believe that Absol's design is at least partially influenced/based on the sphinxes from Egyptian and Greek mythologies.
