Cerberus is a three-headed hellhound willing to grant power to the worthy. He has the power to control ice, which he uses to encase himself in ice armor, summon showers of icicles, and belch small icebergs. Each of his heads uses different techniques. Also his hind paws seem to be missing and replaced with ice this can be spotted when Cerberus lunges his head(s) at the player.
