The Sphinx, being much larger than the Manticores, is so because it has lived longer. Because it has lived longer, it has gained knowledge and some form of intelligence and critical thinking. Because of this, it was likely their leader. They would look up to it for being older and smarter, and it would command them because it was smart enough to.
