Like all other breeds of Cerberi, they are monstrous, three-headed dogs. However, the Hades Cerberi are even larger than the other types, and appear to be composed of hellish fire. When the time finally comes for Kratos to enter Hades' Palace, its gates are guarded by a pair of Hades Cerberi, who attack Kratos together. Late in the game, Kratos must fight an even larger and stronger version of the Hades Cerberus, known as the Hades Cerberus Breeder.
