The cerberus is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. A Core member of the Inferno faction, it is the upgraded version of the hell hound.

When the two heads of a Hell Hound start to bark in chorus, taking on the sound of one ferocious voice, it is a sign that they are gaining the intellectual coordination of a Cerberus, and are now capable of attacking multiple targets at once.^OffBck

Abilities

	Living
	Can be healed and resurrected. Susceptible to morale.OffBck
	Fireproof Skin
	Having adapted to the volcanic environment of their prison-world Sheogh, demons are 20% more resistant to Fire damage.OffBck
	Vulnerability to Light
	Light spells which damage the living are empowered against undead and demons by 20%. Light spells which heal the living damage undead and demons.OffBck
	Unlimited Retaliation
	A Hell Hound is never caught off guard and attacking one never goes unpunished. Trained for the hunt of extremely dangerous prey and as guards for even more dangerous treasures, its doubly keen sense of smell and hearing make it impossible to attack without getting at least one bite in return. The hound may retaliate unlimited times.OffBck
	Eye of Gluttony
	Once a Hell Hound or Cerberus has been wounded by an enemy, its senses are filled with an uncontrollable hunger to bring down its aggressor. The odor of its assailant overcomes it and gives rise to a ravenous frenzy. In this state, the two-headed beast’s attacks are more devastating against its marked foe until all its aggressors are killed or the combat ends. Increases damage of the creature by 20% on all targets that have previously damaged it.OffBck
	Voracious
	A Cerberus is voracious, and as the saying goes in Sheogh, “Two heads are better than one, as long as you have two plates to feed them with.” The Cerberus affects multiple targets when they are aligned in front of it: it makes it all the easier to find something to bite. The melee attacks of the creature deal damage to all enemies in a front arc.OffBck

Tactics

The main task of the cerberus is to reach enemy shooters or support units as quickly as possible. They have high damage and Destiny, but low health and defense, so support them with defensive spells to increase their vitality. Once that is done, they can hunt down creatures affected by their Gluttony ability.
