Gate Keepers observing traffic through the King's Gate near Hell 71.
Androsphynxes[1] or Gate Keepers[2] are a race of Servants.[3]
They are imposing creatures of feline bodies covered in black fur, with golden masks as faces.[1][4]
They seem to be dedicated to keeping watch over the Magus Gates built in Throne during the Second Conquest - at least three are seen flanking both sides of the Gate that stands next to Hell 71.[4]
One of their number was corrupted[2] and possessed[5] by the Gold Devil Praman Nand at some point after the defeat of Yabalchoath and the resurrection of Ciocie Cioelle.[6]

It has been stated that beasts have no real flame of their own but we're crafted using the "effervescent heat of the flame imortal". My question is regarding creatures such as the androsphinx and gatekeepers or other large yet powerful creatures. Are they merely powerful beasts or are they Sustainers in the forms of what we perceive as animals? (Feb. 14 2017)
