The gynosphinx is the female variant of the sphinx, like the androsphinx is the male. In melee encounters, a gynosphinx unleashes its formidable claws to tear into its foes. However, it tends to shy away from conflict whenever it can, despite its lethal capabilities. It is avaricious, but prefers gems and jewelry over coins when given a choice.
