{{Quote|Named for the mythical guardian of the gates of Hell, this two-headed firebreathing demon abides in a dark, sulfurous den, hidden to the world of mortals.

==Background==
''[https://blood-wiki.org/index.php?title=Cerberus Credit to the Blood Wiki]''
'''Cerberus''' is a large two-headed dog that acts as the third major boss of Blood, responsible for guarding Ishmael. Although there is no definitive evidence, this creature appears to be the progenitor or guardian of the Hell Hounds, just as Cheogh is for Gargoyles and Shial for Spiders.
The name Cerberus comes from the Greek mythological creature, a monstrous dog with three heads that guarded the gate to Hades, although this creature has three heads and a tail full of snakes which helps it to kill anything that comes from behind it. It can kill both enemies that come from the front and from the back. Also, in appearance he more closely resembles the two-headed Orthrus, who was said to be the brother of Cerberus who guarded Geryon's cattle and was killed by Heracles. Their parents, Echidna and Typhon, are referenced as boss characters in the fan add-on Bloody Pulp Fiction depicted as Cerberi.
When Cerberus is killed, Caleb slices open its belly with his pocketknife and stuffs it full of Remote Detonators. He walks away and presses the flashing button, causing an eruption of blood and guts, drenching Caleb in blood. With the camera focused on his red eyes, he comments "Rest in pieces" with a morbid grin.

“
Cheogh rules over all gargoyles, but he has long yearned to hold higher rank in Tchernobog's army. His jealousy toward the Chosen was never kept secret. Now that you have been cast from Tchernobog's graces, envy has boiled into sheer abiding hatred. He will be anxious to meet you again and express his feelings for you.
Cheogh is the first boss of Blood, and the ruler of the gargoyles. He has longed to earn higher rank in Tchernobog's army and has an unabiding envy and hatred for the Chosen that has never been kept secret.
He is indistinguishable from Stone Gargoyles within the game - they are essentially the same enemy.
Cheogh attacks by shooting blue energy balls out of his eyes, which can sometimes home in on the player. When close, he attacks with his massive claws. Unlike other gargoyles, he does not attack by throwing bones.
When Cheogh attacks by blasting his blue projectiles, his eyes are blue and his body has a blue lightning effect on it, although it is not visible in the game and his eyes are grey because the greyscale palette is being applied to him. In the art files his eyes are blue when firing, as you can see it on picture on the left below. In Fresh Supply, Cheogh has blue eyes when firing.
