The '''Criosphinx''', also known as '''Ginger X''', is a boss in {{CC}}. It is a mysterious, intelligent, and incredibly powerful entity which roosts in the [[Earth Dragon Isle]] of [[Home World]] after the [[Earth Dragon]] disappears. Its origins are unknown, it harbors antagonism towards mankind for its destruction of the planet (comparable to the [[Dwarves]]). It can be defeated through brain or brawn; it cautions against those who use the latter exclusively.

To answer the riddles of the Criosphinx, use an [[Element]] corresponding to the color he describes. He can easily be defeated if [[Yellow Plate]]s are equipped to characters.

==Etymology==
Based on the {{w|Sphinx|Sphinx of Giza}}, which, in legends, guards the gates to the city and asks a famous riddle: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night" to which the answer is "mankind". It tears to shreds those who cannot answer. {{w|Oedipus}} correctly answers the question, prompting the Sphinx to kill itself. In Egyptian mythology, the w|Criosphinx is simply a ram-headed Sphinx (classic Sphinxes, such as the one at Giza, are human-headed). Criosphinxes are associated with the Egyptian god, Amun, and are most famously depicted in the row of sphinx statues guarding the route between Luxor Temple and Karnak. The Crio- in Criosphinx comes from the Greek word "Krios" which means Ram.
