Mythology
In Greek mythology, Cerberus (Also known as Kerberos) was the hound of Hades. it was depicted to be a monstrous three-headed dog. They say his true form can have from 50 to 100 heads. Sometimes, he would have a snake or a dragon as a tail and thousands of snakes on his back.
About the discovery of the breed
Through many year of research PRIMAL (predatory research institution monitoring animalistic lore) labs have recreated the helldog, Cerberus, though tamed it to be manageable in modern day. PRIMAL labs runs a small school for those with the money, and willingness to learn how to tame and train one of their VILE (very independent laboratory experiments) hounds. VILE hounds are not permitted off the lab grounds, and so PRIMAL labs has created an enclosure to mirror modern society's wilderness, and rural areas since VILE hound would be far too large for a city setting.
Rules
- Give all staff and owners your full respect
- Do not use/steal designs or hounds that you do not win
- Do not ask to become a mod, artist, guest artist, or any kind of staff
- Do not mini mod, that's why I appoint moderators
- Do not bribe any staff or owners provide you with favors, houndss, or otherwise VH related material
- You may only own 4 custom hounds {Loyalty, and kindness may earn you more; I will PM those with gift, so do not ask!} all others must be adopted, and you will be capped at a total of eight (8).
- VHs can NOT be fursonas, as fursonas should be an extension of yourself, and since you do not own this species it should not be used for such purposes.
- You may NOT sell a VH for pets/money/any type of currency
- If someone has created VH gift lines, you may NOT color them in for a competition entry. Owned VHs ONLY. {Those creating gift lines I ask that you require proof of ownership before adding someone to color the lines}
- Only one person may own a VH. There is no co-owning.
Size
Newborn- adult cat
Pup- Medium dog (think beagle)
Teen- Bear (on fours not standing)
Adult- Full-grown draft
Special observations
Through training and observations PRIMAL labs has discovered that VILE hounds do not act too different from the canines we own in our homes. The difference between domestic canines and VILE hounds is their size really. A VILE hound has an overwhelming instinct to guard and protect; they are territorial, and vicious when threatened. VILE hounds bind to one trainer/owner, and have difficulty bonding with others outside of their species, and new 'masters'. It is important to socialize your hound constantly to deter this behavior.
Eating Habits
VILE hounds have a large stomach, however all three heads share it. They can eat about an elks worth per VILE hound. They need to be fed routinely, and given a chance ant an equal share otherwise the heads may fight each other for food. This may happen either way as each head is independent in it's own right, and therefore may develop a dominance hierarchy between heads. IT is good to discipline and correct the heads when they begin to bicker to avoid serious injury.
Breeding
Breeding is a difficult process due to the independence between the three head of the VILE hounds. A female will breed with 1 male every 5 months (1 month real time). She will give birth to two-three pups, four is a maximum.
Rarity
Rare traits and mutations of VILE hounds:
-Multiple tails -Glowing markings
-Horns -Glowing eyes
-Spikes -Elemental abilities
-Supernatural abilities
