Description:

More than strong enough to rival creatures such as dragons blow for blow, Cerberus represent among the most powerful of canine beastman. So strong were they that they caught the attention and fear of the gods who split the races form into threes, limiting their strength. however, even weakened, they still caught the eye of Hades herself, who sees favor in them and uses them as guardians in various parts of the Underworld. There, incredible speed, power. and ferociously protective attitude keep the denizens of the Underworld under tight lock and key, and everything inside running smoothly.

Due to the work of the gods, Cerberus no longer exist in a single form. Instead, they exist as triplets, bearing similar forms to each other. Each “head” has a distinct personality, ranging from playful to aggressive, with distinct likes, interests, and even different tastes in men. On average, however, the middle is the more emotionally stable of the three, with the left and right head usually being more emotionally extreme.

Though Cerberus can briefly combine together to achieve something much similar to the power they once had (much in the way that dragons are capable of doing), they prefer not to do

this except in extreme circumstances. Even without such a form, they can hear each other’s thoughts as if they were thinking them themselves, allowing them to communicate and coordinate with each other without speaking over long distances, as if they were actually still connected. Each head of the Cerberus possesses a different power

, though lack of physical distinctions make it impossible to tell which is which until they use them. The right “head” produces magical flame

s. Similar to their cousins Garm’s, they magically lower the cooling point of what they come into contact with, leaving burns on the toughest of substances, even piercing through dragon skin. In the case of a man, they ignite his desires just as a fire elemental would, making his lust soar exponentially and drawing them to her. The left “head” produces magical ice. This ice is supernaturally cold, capable of chilling even those who bear a resistance to low temperatures normally. In regards to a man, it actually lowers his lustful thoughts and desires, though of course this only involves bears an impact to those outside the Cerberus itself. Lustful desires that are still present inside him towards her will not be extinguished, and he will have to satisfy his urges with her, as all other women and monsters will fair to incur any desire in him. Of the three, the middle “head” possesses no magical abilities to itself. Instead, it is the physically adept one, possessing far more speed and strength than either its right or its left. In this way, it bears an edge over its left and right halves, and usually controls though this does is not always the case.

When it comes to a man, each of the Cerberus' head are inclined to share between themselves without too much issue, which is something that does not naturally come to canine beastman or most other monsters. This naturally occurs in the form of a canine hierarchy, with the head deemed the strongest getting the first “share” of the man. if too much favoritism is shown to any one head, however, the other two will get quite jealous, and fights over dominance are quite likely to break out.

Sidenote: Though it is an uncommon occurrence, there are times when a Cereberus will be born with two heads instead of three. This results in a mutational sub-species known as an Orthros, whose temperament and abilities depend vastly on which “heads” it was actually born with.
