| Description |
Like Cerberus, the three-headed hound in Greek
myth who guarded Hades, these fierce, snarling
dogs seem not quite of this world. They sniff the
ground with furrowed brows as if trying to pick
up the scent of an elusive, supernatural quarry.
We need not worry, however, for even if they
found the trail, they could never agree on how to
follow it.
