@Mogima Yea definitely sounds like a staple with this kind of niche. Was more curious how they could spice it up since from memory dont remember reading one with hand puppets but after looking it up itself and looking up some from 3 anime chars i remembered had hand puppets came up with nada. Guess there not much else afterall lol.
Fun fact: the name Cerberos comes from a proto-indo-european word k̑érberos, meaning "with spots".
Yes, Hades, ruler of the underworld, named his ferocious guard dog Spot.
@SveNo Not to be that guy but this is a misconception: the PIE reconstruction of *kérbero- as "spotted" is flaky to say the least. It was once commonly accepted due to lack of accurate knowledge of common IE myths and an ambiguous Vedic Sanskrit śabála-, assumed to be its derivative, that means both "spotted" and "of multiple colors".
