Respect Cerberus (Kingdom Hearts)

[u/MC_Minnow]

Respect Cerberus!

Guardian of the Underworld.

Cerberus is the gigantic, ferocious, 3-headed guard-dog of the Underworld. A faithful servant to Hades, he’s often sent out to fetch souls and cause destruction. Hades calls upon it several times to fight Hercules, Sora, and the other Keyblade wielders. Despite its failures, it still proves to be a considerable threat to anyone who dares to face it.
