Cerberus, d, is a unique monster that appears in xNetHack. He is a carnivorous and multiheaded hell hound-like canine that is strong, possesses regeneration and can be seen via infravision. Cerberus guards passage to the majority of Gehennom, and the drawbridge on his level cannot be opened until he is defeated.
Cerberus has a strong bite attack, a second poisonous bite that drains constitution, a third strong bite that inflicts fire damage, and two strong claw attacks. Cerberus possesses fire resistance.
Eating Cerberus's corpse or tin has a chance of conveying fire resistance.

Encyclopedia entry
Cerberus, (or Kerberos in Greek), was the three-headed dog that guarded the Gates of Hell. He allowed any dead to enter, and likewise prevented them all from ever leaving. He was bested only twice: once when Orpheus put him to sleep by playing bewitching music on his lyre, and the other time when Hercules confronted him and took him to the world of the living (as his twelfth and last labor).
