Zombot Sphinx-inator is the boss of Ancient Egypt in Plants vs. Zombies 2 controlled by Dr. Zomboss, and is battled in Ancient Egypt - Day 25, Day 35 and possibly Modern Day - Day 32. It can send out any zombie from Ancient Egypt, excluding the Flag Mummy Zombie, Ra Zombie, and Camel Zombies. It takes up a two-by-two area at the right side of the lawn, jumping to different rows occasionally. It can send out zombies in two rows at a time, and it can only be attacked in the two rows it occupies at any one time. Unlike the original Zombot, the Sphinx-inator can be attacked at any time, provided there are plants in the same row he moves to.
In Arena, defeating the Sphinx-inator will award 10000 points, increasing by 10000 points each time the Sphinx-inator is defeated. Higher leagues will increase a multiplier for points scored, with a maximum of 5x in Jade league.

Zombot Sphinx-inator
TOUGHNESS: Undying
SPEED: Hungry
The destroyer of plants from the ancient sands.
Special: missile attack can create tombstones
To add that extra bit of wickedness to the Sphinx-inator Dr. Zomboss chiseled his creation from the stonework of cursed tombs. You should not take this instance of reuse and recycle to mean he's going green. The only thing green about him is his tongue.
Chinese version (China only)
Dr.Zomboss in a high-tech desert mount utilizing multiple attacks.
It was often said that cars were like their owners, and Dr.Zomboss is no exception |
Overview
The Zombot Sphinx-inator approximately absorbs 18500 damage per shot. Its appearance changes upon absorbing 4000 and 12000 damage per shot before dying at 18500 damage per shot.
Phases
The Zombot Sphinx-inator randomly performs one of the following actions:
- Warps in zombies.
- A target will appear on a random space and the Sphinx-inator will shoot a missile at that space, destroying any plant on it unless that plant is using Plant Food, attempting to create two tombstones in an adjacent tile. On Day 35, the missiles will create four tombstones instead of two. If the player quickly selects a plant and plant on the tile the bone's about to land, the tombstone will not be created and the plant will remain.
- The Sphinx-inator will tap its front two legs on the ground, step back, and then charge forwards, destroying all plants and zombies in two rows. It will then stop short of the lawn mowers, and jump back to the rightmost column.
- The attack will be cancelled if a plant fed with Plant Food attacks it.
- A Wall-nut boosted with Plant Food will also have its armor stop the attack at the cost of destroying the armor, but the Zombot Sphinx-inator will not take any direct damage.

Trivia
- Its Almanac entry says the only thing green about Dr. Zomboss is his tongue. However, his tongue is not green, but rather pink.
- When the Zombot Sphinx-inator is frozen and about to shoot a missile, it will be blue, but when it comes back from the top, it is no longer frozen.
- Before the 2.3 update, if an Iceberg Lettuce was hit with a missile the machine will be slowed down.
- The missiles launch Tomb Raiser Zombie's bones on tiles surrounding where it hit on tiles. Of the player acts fast enough, they can plant on the tiles they are falling onto, so the tombstones will not be created.
- In the Chinese version, its Almanac icon looks different as it shows the Zombot's full body.
- In the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 before the 1.8.0 version, battling this Zombot can have the following:
- A conveyor-belt manner which is the typical type (Level 1);
- A Last Stand without the aid of sun-producing plants (Level 2);
- And lastly, a Last Stand manner with the aid of sun-producing plants with the boss having additional health and stages. (Level 3)
- In the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, previously, there was the boss music in the battle. But then, the boss music has been replaced by the Player's House music.
- In the Chinese version, when it summons zombies, its mouth looks different from the International version. This is shared with the Zombot Plank Walker, the Zombot War Wagon and the Zombot Tomorrow-tron.
- In the Chinese version before the 1.8.0 version, the Zombot Sphinx-inator will automatically disappear instead of teleporting after the player gets the prize.
- In the Chinese version before the 1.9.0 version, it was one of the only Zombots which only took up 1 row, the others being the Zombot Dark Dragon, the Zombot Sharktronic Sub, and the Zombot Vulture Fighter.
- There is a glitch where after the Zombot is defeated and when the player plants the Iceberg Lettuce on it and after the money bag is collected, it would slow the Zombot down when Dr. Zomboss is about to teleport away.
- Also, in Modern Day - Day 32, there is another glitch where after the Zombot is defeated and when the player plants the Spikeweed underneath, it will still attack the Zombot.
- Additionally, when the player plants a Spring Bean underneath a Zombot, it will look like it is ready to bounce, but it does not bounce the Zombot back.
- The "-inator" in the title may be a reference to Phineas and Ferb, as Heinz Doofenshmirtz builds machines that always have the suffix of "inator."
- Additionally, he can spawn Ra Zombies and Camel Zombies in Arena, which do not appear in normal fights.
- When Dr. Zomboss spawns Camel Zombies, only one will spawn from it and the rest of them will just appear.
