They do not need to eat though they greatly enjoy the sensation of biting then tearing creatures to pieces. While the cerberi may superficially resemble twisted canines their ecology has far more in common with the fiends than it does with beasts. Most often their bite serves to keep a soul trapped in the depths of Hell. Cerberi embody the covetous, greedy nature of Hell, which gives rise to their unique ability, any creature they bite is trapped, unable to leave the plane they are on. They are distant cousins of the more common Hell hound but they loathe their lesser kin, tearing them to pieces if given the chance. Ĭerberi are supposedly descended from one ancient, mythical sire, an infernal beast that still guards some forgotten corner of Hell. Their favored buyers are normally night hags and daemons. Cereberi can often be found beyond Hell as they are valued for their abilities as trackers and jailers, they are sold in the flesh markets of Dis to evil creature from across the planes. When not serving fiendish master cerberi can be found in large packs that roam the wildernesses of Hell (and occasionally elsewhere) tormenting and destroying damned souls. Renowned as savage, violent guardians cerberi are most common on the first three layers of Hell serving as bestial trackers for the devilish armies of Avernus, intelligent guard dogs for the decadent estates of the city of Dis and silent guardians of the benighted vaults of Erebus. Habitat & Ecology Ĭereberi thrive in the burning depths of Hell. The eyes are the clearest indication of the cerberis' fiendish heritage as the instead of eyeballs their eye sockets are filled with ever burning hell fire. These heads each resemble a wolf skull that is mostly covered in exposed muscle. Almost as disturbing is the cerberi's three fearsome heads.
