Each mouth is dominated by long fangs, and each mouth drips foul-smelling saliva. \n'b' The triple-headed Cerberus is the guardian of Hades. There is only one in existence and most creatures (both living and dead) are grateful for this fact. Cerberus is tasked with the duty of keeping dead souls in Hades. If a dead soul attempts to pass beyond the Gates of Hades and back into the land of the living, Cerberus attacks relentlessly until that soul returns to Hades. If slain, the soul is immediately devoured by Cerberus and is lost forever. Cerberus is also tasked with keeping living creatures out of the land of the dead (adventurers being what they are, they love to journey to Hades). Living creatures that attempt to move past Cerberus into Hades (through the main gates) are immediately attacked. \n'b' Cerberus is a 30-foot-long black mastiff. He rarely chooses to communicate with creatures even though he speaks several languages. \n'b' Cerberus only attacks if a dead soul attempts to pass beyond the Gates of Hades into the land of the living or if a living creature attempts to enter the Realm of the Dead. Cerberus never willingly moves more than 60 feet from the Gates and cannot be removed by any means, short of a god\xe2\x80\x99s magic. \n'b' He opens combat with his baneful howl and quickly follows with his breath weapon. Living creatures that do not retreat are subjected to his bite and claw. Cerberus attacks until all his opponents are dead or have retreated. The souls of those he kills are allowed to pass beyond the Gates and into Hades while Cerberus feasts on their body. \n'b' If slain, Cerberus\xe2\x80\x99 corpse melts into smoldering slime before fading away.'
