===Personality===
==Role==
===Fate/stay night===
Cerberus appears in a flashback of the Labors of Heracles in the third Heaven's Feel film.
===Fate/strange Fake===
Cerberus appears as one of the Noble Phantasms of Alcides, as part of King's Order, making him able to summon it due to his Twelfth Labor, as he captured Cerberus. It manifests as an elephant-sized, three-headed dog upon which Alcides can easily ride, but doesn't possess its former divine beasthood without Hades' blessing. It fights during the battle at Snowfield Central Hospital, but is defeated by Jack the Ripper's From Hell.
After being dragged into the Bounded World of Doomsday Come, Pale Rider is able to take control of Cerberus and it grows in size from as big as an elephant to being larger than a house. The reason for this is speculated to be because the Bounded World is an "underworld" of sort, closely resembling Hades, which gets it closer to its original strength, especially the more dead people it takes. When the Prelatis enter the dream world, they make it rain candy, taking advantage of the legend that Cerberus fond of sugary treats such as cake.

==Abilities==
When summoned via Alcides' twelfth Noble Phantasm of King's Order, it manifests as an elephant-sized, three-headed dog upon which Alcides can easily ride. Each head has extremely sharp fangs and exhales poisonous breath, and the very air around it is thick with magical energy. It can follow instructions and act independently from him. It displays the ability to easily kill dozens of humans without being impeded, but easily falls to Jack the Ripper's From Hell. Alcides comments that he was able to achieve this since Cerberus doesn't possess its former divine beasthood without Hades’ blessing.Fate/strange Fake Volume 4 - Chapter 13: Day 2, Night "At Last, a Second, and a Third..." It is unknown if it is due to Alcides rejecting its divinity like with Goddess of War or if it is due to another factor.
After Cerberus was taken control of by Pale Rider, it had grown in size from as big as an elephant to being larger than a house.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Chapter 20: “Fantasy Becomes Reality” As Pale Rider closely resembles Hades and the Underworld, Cerberus gets closer to its original strength, especially the more dead people it takes, allowing its combat abilities to eventually match those of a high-ranking Servant.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Interlude: "Mercenary, Assassin, Pale Rider" Whereas it was at most the size of an adult elephant previously, the first time it appears under Rider's control it is easily over fifteen meters tall.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Chapter 18: “As Dream and Reality are Both Illusion I” It keeps growing, until its appearance recalls a three-headed kaiju out of a giant monster movie. Its howls conveyed as much heat as if it were breathing fire and shook the space around it.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Chapter 19: “As Dream and Reality are Both Illusion II”
