The subfamily of androsphinx includes several large lion-like monkeys distributed across the central and south continent of Highland in Oominor.
This subfamily contains two biggest genus representatives: Manticore and Sphinx that evolved from baboon-like ancestors. Unlike their genetic precursors androsphinxes are primarily carnivorous and once in a while can terrorize barnyard animals. This makes them extremely vulnerable to farmers that hunt them to extinction. Nowadays, the FFRP (Fauna and Flora Reserve Program) founded by ogres firmly protect the rights of these animals; thanks to which in some Oominor's country the hunting down androsphinx species is prohibited by law.
