The Hounds of Hades
Two new enemies guard the dark places of the island: the Hound of Hades, and Cerberus, the three-headed hound above it. Turn your sound on.
The Hound of Hades
- A hellhound in chainmail, with red eyes and cracks of fire glowing through its hide.
- Every sound is tied to a move. The howl rises with its head, barks land as the jaw opens, and it sniffs the air while it waits.
- Hit it and it yelps. When it falls, it gives one last cry.
- Between attacks it shakes itself out, chainmail rattling.

The Hound waits in a Lair. Win the fight and you take 2 random Blessings. Lose, and it stays there for your next try.
Cerberus
- Three heads in bronze helmets. When one barks, howls or bites, the other two answer.
- His skin is cracked like cooling lava. The cracks pulse from his chest, dark red to yellow.
- Fire rings each paw and embers rise off his back.
- His voice is the Hound's, deeper and rougher, with fire under the howl.
- When he dies, he breaks apart into fire.

Cerberus takes the place of the fire beast. He has Armour 7 and a Fire attack of 8, and he halves both your Physical and your Fire attacks. You can meet him at a Beasts camp, in a Barrow, or in Ruins a beast has taken. What you win depends on where: Zeus' Law at a camp, a Relic and a Spell in a Barrow, a Relic in the Ruins.
