The Cerberex and its pallet swaps are based on the two-headed dog [[Wikipedia:Orthrus|Orthrus]] of Greek mythology. The hound was the guard dog for the cattle pens of the giant Geryon, and was one of the offspring of Echidna and Typhon. It was slain by Hercules as part of the process of completing his Tenth Labor.
