Cerberen Wolves (Canis Infernus Cerberus): Cerberen wolves or cerberen, also known as the Chimeran Hellhound by other races, are the lifelong bound partners of chimerans. For their entire recorded history, they have worked exclusively side by side with this species of four legged canines. This species features two heads and two long, fox-like tails, the length of which is the length of nose to start of the tails. They are always hermaphrodites and are capable of reproducing via both sets of genitalia. On the back are two rows of bone-like rib protrusions at the lowest point on the back and spaced to fit a chimeran. Their chest features an oval gem resembling a slitted eye with a black pupil like their own eyes and an iris the same color as their eye color. The creature is able to make this gem and their eyes glow on command. There are two protective, bone-like structures that resemble white bow ties on their necks. Like chimerans, cerberen also mate for life with other cerberen though they still live with their non-wolf companion.

Shortly after birth, they are paired with a newly hatched chimeran to be their life long partner. Because of this, cerberen are, by law, never treated poorly. They function as loyal companions, capable of serving as a mount, courier, guardian, or the like. Though they can't speak, they have the intelligence of the average six year old chimeran and are very quick to learn meanings of words, tasks, and commands. Every year their fur coat thickens during the winter months and is shed during the spring. Their shed fur is often used by chimerans for crafting purposes like blankets and clothing. On average they live as long as their chimeran counterparts. They are able to reproduce once they reach thirty years old and usually give birth to three to seven pups at most every fifty years. Fully grown, they average 7.5 ft from paw to shoulder. Their offspring average 1.5 feet from paw to shoulder tall.

Due to their extremely long symbiotic history, they are immune to the same poisons and venoms as their chimeran companion. A few times per day, each head is capable of firing a fireball from their mouths. The heads are prone to the peculiar or sometimes comical behaviour of arguing with each other. There are times where they can be quite stubborn or mischievous.

Their eye/gem color can range the full rainbow of natural colors. Their primary fur color comes in a darker shade of their iris and gem color. Companion fur colors come in shades of brown, black, white, and darker shades of green, blue, red, and gray. (No sparkle dogs. Ever.)

The male reproductive organ on a cerberen resemble those found on the common wolf. External testicles, sheath, and knot. Full grown, their penis averages 15” from tip to knot but can vary by up to 5”. They usually have a considerable emission because of their body size.

The female reproductive organ resembles that found on the common wolf.
Due to there being more cerberen born than chimerans, it isn’t uncommon for unbound cerberen to live solely in chimeran cities and towns. They will usually hunt with others as needed. It is very rare that a cerberen can become bound to a non-chimeran. One example of this happening is when an unbound wolf happened on a young child seemingly abandoned in a forest. The wolf “adopted” the child and took him to a nearby chimeran town and stayed with him for the rest of his life. Depending on the lifespan of their companion and how they are treated by their companion’s family, they may stay bound to that family line for the rest of their life or they may leave to do their own thing. Anytime this happens a chimeran is usually called on to help the bonded pair adapt.
