Cerberus

[ Mythology : Greek ]

The dreadful offspring of monsters Typhon and Echidna, Cerberus is a three-headed dog. He is a watchdog of the underworld, stopping anyone who would try and return to the world of the living.

Cerberus has two siblings: the Hydra and the Chimaera. Similar to the gorgons, Cerberus is so hideous that anyone who looked at him would turn to stone.
