@ Wererat2000: Depends on your source. One early source (Hesiod) says he had fifty heads, but the vast majority of sources give him three or don’t explicitly state it (Homer never says how many heads there are).
The earliest pictures of him on pots – which are the earliest evidence of him of any kind, often show him with only one head.
wait, did that imagery for Cerberus turn into the hydra? cuz the only way i can imagine all those heads not being one big clusterfuck on the shoulders is if the necks are elongated, and how can that mental image not remind you of the hydra?
“Hello, you have reached Blasphemous Creations Inc., how may I help you?”
“My summoning circle isn’t working.”
“Have you tried turning it off and back on again?”
“Ye-es…hence the eldritch abomination attempting to choke the life out of me.”
“In that case, I recommend taking out a life insurance policy. Very quickly.”
“Wonderful.”
Well, the obvious advantage here is that unlike the Patterner, the Hound seems to be much more of a blunt “I’m gonna smash ‘n bash” kind of deal, rather then the whole tricky schemery. Thus, while still scary as hell, it should be easier to deal with…
…
right?
One reason Khorne (and by extension, the Hound) operate in such a baseless, savage manner is because they don’t HAVE to fight smartly – Khorne cuts entire planes (according to Word Bearer monologues, he physically strikes to open rifts), and even the lowest khornate demon can go toe-to-toe with space marines.
You can’t really say “Oh cock” in this situation here. being we are dealing with a giant-ass dog now the best thing we can say is “Oh great this one hell of a Bitch”
C’mon, you don’t gotta hell hound folks over words. Seriously, are you trying to throw people to the wolves here? Hot dog, just pause and think for a second before you end up barking up the wrong tree.
Now now, there’s no need to have such a rottenweiler attitude. We all know being corrected like that is like stepping in a poodle of mud, but there’s no need to give him shi tzu in return. Really, you should apologize before everything goes to hell in a hand-basset.
In Warhammer lore, the Warp is so chaotic and powerful that human souls sent to it lose awareness in… well, seconds, i think, can’t remember the exact number but it was VERY quickly =/ … so even if they WERE sent to whatever hell the dog got out of, they’re just energy now, nothing to be in pain.
It’s not the death god’s sanctuary but it’s better for them than the artifact.
I don’t think Virus ever designed them. I know I never had one in mind for Fernex, as the various daemons were only distinguished by the mass of their host-forms and the level of influence they had over it – The Toaster is practically at the bottom of the heap, whereas something like this would be rolling around in a battleship. As for the Soulthirster, I keep forgetting about them and whilst we had something, we never had a sketch of it (Or if we did, it was lost years ago) and I know the concept was a bit too Games Workshop and would need rebuilding these days.
Uhoh. Virus. You louse. Much as I love you, your a moron. Yeah, while Kevin may have been a big deal, Cerberus is kinda a bigger one. I guess. I suppose it’s all in how you look t it, though I mean, maybe cerberus can be taken out easier?
We;ll see.
Cerberus? Whoo! A great Daemon of the Hound is at large!
That damn Illusive man has his hand in everything!
*double checks*
Nooooo! He even got the last of the cookies! For that, he shall never be forgiven…
actually, Cerberus had 50 heads, the common 3 head imagry was a simplification done for ease of sculptors.
god i love studying mythology.
huh, didn’t know that.
regardless, i doubt anybody ells cares.
@ Alex – someone else does care!

I’m gonna go with Armchair on this one. Wererat says “actually”, but Cerberus is mythological so there is no “actual”.
touche’
i just meant that the earliest source i could find specified 50, and one mythology book i have explained the change.
How would you even fit fifty heads on there without it looking ridiculous? It would look like he had a snarling broccoli floret for a head.
if you want to start analyzing all the weird creatures from mythology we’d be here for days.
wait, did that imagery for Cerberus turn into the hydra? cuz the only way i can imagine all those heads not being one big clusterfuck on the shoulders is if the necks are elongated, and how can that mental image not remind you of the hydra?
Oh god, the “snarling broccoli floret” bit just made my day. I can’t stop laughing, dammit
anybody ells hope this is some how used in a later comic?
just me?
Well, I hope all those souls who were inside the bookend are in a better place, now…
Aw, who am I kidding? XD
Yep, we’re pretty sure they’re all screwed.
awwww hes cute
Those circles really should come with an instruction manual.
And a help hotline.
“Hello, you have reached Blasphemous Creations Inc., how may I help you?”
“My summoning circle isn’t working.”
“Have you tried turning it off and back on again?”
“Ye-es…hence the eldritch abomination attempting to choke the life out of me.”
“In that case, I recommend taking out a life insurance policy. Very quickly.”
“Wonderful.”
Would you like chimichangas with that?
Too bad they left Blasphemy at home…
I wonder if Hogwarts noticed that fluffy’s gone yet.
A Harry potter reference?
Relly?
This may be a good outcome… all they have to do is just run. The way I see it it’s Morth’s problem now.
Then again I guess they have to at least try to kill the monster for the sake of what he will harm after he’s done with Morth and his cult.
Knew this was coming…
Your comments even funnier given your avatar…. XD
One could even say his all seeing eye…
*puts on glasses*
Saw it coming.
You mean, “puts on monocle”, surely?
yo creator geniuses. ya think blasphemy will become a full fledged daemon if he ate another hound demon like this one
That is one nasty-looking Hound demon.
… and the Inquisition’s finest’s performance is being broadcast all over the world too right ? Virus is in for a nice end-of-the-year bonus…
So… Exterminatus ? Now ?

Nicely done, sirs.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
Panel 4 is great. Virus may have not done it perfectly, bit it better than the alternative. Maybe.
Love the facial expressions in this comic. so expressive and conveys the amount of “Oh Cock” currently going on.
You can’t really say “Oh cock” in this situation here. being we are dealing with a giant-ass dog now the best thing we can say is “Oh great this one hell of a Bitch”
So, if the ritual had gone right, what would you suggest? “One hell of a Kevin?”
That would be hilarious, actually. Then when someone’s being a dumbass, you can go “Oh, for Kevin’s sake!”
C’mon, you don’t gotta hell hound folks over words. Seriously, are you trying to throw people to the wolves here? Hot dog, just pause and think for a second before you end up barking up the wrong tree.
AAAAHHHH!!! THE PUNPOCALIPSE!! YOU FOOL, YOU HAVE DOOMED US ALL WITH YOUR PUNS AND WORD-SMITHING!!!
To deal with fluffy over there, I would suggest bacon. Lots and lots of bacon.
Damnit, I hate my picture.
Now now, there’s no need to have such a rottenweiler attitude. We all know being corrected like that is like stepping in a poodle of mud, but there’s no need to give him shi tzu in return. Really, you should apologize before everything goes to hell in a hand-basset.
XD I love these puns! I wish I could think of witty dog jokes.
You just need to pug up and start thinking!
It’s a world wide punomenon…
Ex-pun-inatus? =D
…
OW! Who threw that?!
Is it just me, or are the three heads of the cerberus the evil dogs from Up?

Haa, pretty much. Not intentionally or consciously. But I did indeed model them after a doberman, a rottweiler and a bulldog.
I think tther like 20 difrent kinds of fucked.
There’s only one thing left to say.
Scooby-snack for the Hound-God!!
Curiously, the only thing I could think was “Hey, its Fluffy from HP!”. I’m a tab bit ashamed of myself…
Ok now after the “Up” comment I can almost see the doberman growling in a high pitched voice
I accidentally Cerberus instead of Kevin… is that bad?
(We all know Morth is EXTRA upset ’cause he’s not in black and white.)
Well, fuck.
Get to da Specta?
Let’s just hope that the souls got wiped out by that and weren’t sent to whatever hole the dog got out of.
In Warhammer lore, the Warp is so chaotic and powerful that human souls sent to it lose awareness in… well, seconds, i think, can’t remember the exact number but it was VERY quickly =/ … so even if they WERE sent to whatever hell the dog got out of, they’re just energy now, nothing to be in pain.
It’s not the death god’s sanctuary but it’s better for them than the artifact.
I have to agree with the “Up” comment, I can’t help but think of how they could beat the Cerberus by yelling squirrel XD
Its at this time i really want you to bring back that demonic chao you had sittng around. its a vain hope
Ah, Virus. I knew you would screw up epically. XD I love the Cerberus by the way, really cool.
Aww, he’s such a cute little hellhound! Does he want his tummy tickled?
Aw man, now I’m imagining Fluttershy as a Hound cultist. I already have enough crossovers damnit!
Another bunch of points lost with the “P-man” I guess
I wonder what the greater demons we haven’t seen yet look like (if they have any kind of uniformity that is).
I don’t think Virus ever designed them. I know I never had one in mind for Fernex, as the various daemons were only distinguished by the mass of their host-forms and the level of influence they had over it – The Toaster is practically at the bottom of the heap, whereas something like this would be rolling around in a battleship.

Aww no Kevin, but a god damn Cerberus Demon, Sweeeeeeet! : D
