In Greek mythology, The Sphinx was a Chthonic (of or from under the earth) monster, meaning that it was born of the primordial entities and came from a time before the Olympians. There are many origins, but the most popular is that she was the daughter of Echidna (mother of monsters) and Typhon (the last son of Gaea... which is what makes him Chthonic).
My Greek standards, any divine creature that was inhuman was considered a monster.

The Sphinx is often depicted as a monster from the pyramids of Egypt. It is a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. The Sphinx is believed to symbolize strength and intelligence.

Andro Sphinx is a level 10 LIGHT monster, Beast/Effect type, with 3000 ATK and 2500 DEF. If Pyramid of Light is active on the field, Andro Sphinx can be special summoned by paying 500 life points. Andro Sphinx cannot attack on the turn it is summoned, nor can it be special summoned from the graveyard. When Andro Sphinx destroys a defence position monster by battle, damage is dealt to the opponent's life points equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK.
Monster Gate can special summon them. They are normal summonable monsters, like any regular Lv8 monster. While there is a way to special summon them using Pyramid of Light, that's only an option - they can be special summoned in other ways, such as Monster Gate.
