Honestly, I don't see the point in having both a manticore and a sphinx Grimm. Both have lion bodies and human faces, literally the only difference between them is the tail, and that the greek Sphinx has wings (and even then, manticores sometimes are portrayed with wings).

The difference between them is so pretty much the same as between an Ursa Grimm and a Major Ursa Grimm. One has spikes, the other one doesn't. So what's the point of having a Sphinx Grimm?

Sure, you could say that a Manticore Grimm could be an Adult Sphinx Grimm, but then why would this Grimm not follow the same naming pattern as previous Grimm, that had the same name but with a title added (Alpha Beowulf, Major Ursa, Giant Nevermore....)? It'd just be inconsistent for the sake of inconsistency.
