Kerber (Spawn of Kerberus)
Kerberoi are massive, three-headed, humped monsters, weighing around 5,000 pounds and covered with irregular, dark gray spots, and are native to various abyssal, infernal, and evil-aligned planes.
Although they are essentially oversized scavengers, Kerberoi are gluttonous and very aggressive and will not hesitate to attack and try to devour anything up to size Large if the opportunity presents itself or if they are very hungry. Such monsters are sometimes used as warbeasts by powerful characters or outsiders but, because of their great size and power and nasty dispositions, are hard to manage and control.
In the official playtest game for Skirmisher Publishing’s “In the Footsteps of Hercules” universal sourcebook, the character party is tasked with journeying to the Stygium, a holy site located at an to the underworld, and venturing into it in order to capture one of these fell beasts.
