According to Greek mythology, the reason Cerberus has three heads is because each head represents the past, present and future . Cerberus triplets also frighten people by the terrifying snake tail.

The mission of Cerberus triplets is to guard the gates of hell in Tanaerum. This mythical creature will prevent those who intend to escape from hell by swimming across the River Styx. However, in some cases, Cerberus does not complete the task of guarding the gates of hell.

The reason is that thanks to the guidance of gods or being tempted by fresh meat, some mortals can fool Cerberus so that they can enter hell easily. Although Cerberus has to look after, he still wishes to have a human head.
