What makes the sphinx a monster?

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.
