The egyptians actually had different kinds of Sphinxes. The archetypical one has a man's head and a (maneless) lion's body, but nothing fancier than that. It's also known as the Androsphinx.

There's one with a falcon's head instead (no wings), the Hieracosphinx. And one with a ram's head called Criosphinx.
