With no natural predators within their ancestral homeland, the population of the [[Electro Spelunkhoe|electro spelunkhoe]] inevitably continued to grow, only kept in check by the amount of food available. When food sources were low, mass migrations would occur, the first and, for the time, most prominent of which gave rise to the [[Hikahoe]] and its descendants. This migration wave would not be the last, however, and would be followed by several other, smaller waves which typically fared poorly: the participants of these were often times overwhelmed by predators or succumbed to the elements. This went on until, after several thousand years, a particularly fruitful series of decades led to much floral abundance in [[Electro Limestone Caves]], which in turn led to a massive increase in the spelunkhoe population within. When food sources eventually dwindled, though, starvation followed. To avoid death, one of the largest migration known for the species was undergone, all in the search of new food sources. As they left the cave system, the wave eventually split into three, all of which went their separate ways.

The '''regal sphinx''' - sometimes referred to as '''royal sphinxes''' due to the coloration of the males - came about from the wave that went westwards towards the deeper boreal wilderness. Similar to their cousin, the [[phouka]], which also inhabits the same region, they have adapted well to the local cuisine. Dining upon a wide variety of small flora and tiny fauna, they grow fat on [[vermees]], [[minikruggs]], and various rooted purple flora. They prefer to dwell near ponds and lakes that abound about the region, and have thus adapted to this lifestyle by developing a limited capacity to swim. They will, however, only swim during the spring and summer months, as otherwise the waters are too cold to dwell in.
