==Powers and Stats==
Tier: At least 
Name: Cerberus, Staples (Nickname given to him by Dirge)
Origin: Xombie
Gender: Male
Age: At least a few decades old (He died or was reanimated in 2038 like other zombies and the series as of Dead Ahead takes place in 2062)
Classification: Undead german shepherd, Variant
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Type 7), Enhanced Senses (He, like other zombie animals, is able to smell a human from up to 10 miles or 16.09344 kilometers away.Xombie Reanimated #1Xombie Reanimated #5), Bodily Weaponry (Claws and jaws), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 and 3. As an undead he requires no oxygen, rest or sleep and doesn't need to eat.), Acrobatics (Has some acrobatic skill as shown in Dead Ahead.)
Attack Potency: At least Building level, possibly higher (WoG and an in-universe journal entry state that Nekrosis xombies are granted unnatural strength. Comparable to Dirge. Singlehandedly held off a horde composed of an entire zoo, including a rhino that did this plus two elephants that were even stronger.Xombie Reanimated #3 While most of that battle happened off-panel, Cerberus was completely unharmed once they left the area.)
Speed: At least Superhuman (Slightly faster than Dirge or Mister Gallows. As a zombie German Shepherd he's faster than regular ones which can run at 13 to 14 m/s.) with Transonic reactions and combat speed (At least comparable to Dirge.)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 1, likely higher (Easily overpowered a zombie tiger that was stronger than a normal one.Chapter 3: Grinding Organs), possibly Class 25 (Ripped an enhanced zombie's arm off which should yield similar or higher results than this.)
Striking Strength: At least Building level, possibly higher
Durability: Varies. (Due to his partially rotten corpse body his skin's durability is a tad inconsistent and can sometimes be harmed by much less like regular guns, though his bones are much sturdier.) Up to at least Building level, possibly higher (Took hits from Chimaera.)
Stamina: Infinite (Undead never get winded nor feel any pain.Chapter 4: Relics & ReptilesChapter 10: Hallowed GroundsXombie Reanimated #4Xombie Reanimated #5)
Range: Standard Melee Range
Intelligence: Animalistic to Average (His behaviour is unsurprisingly doglike but he understands commands in English and German and can skillfully take on multiple zombies simultaneously. In Dead Ahead, upon encountering Zoe again after 10 years and recognizing a makeshift weapon she made, he tosses it at her so she can defend herself from zombies.)
Weaknesses: As a rotten corpse, he feels nothing, which can be a detriment if he is blinded. He also keeps rotting away so his body will slowly crumble, though over a long period of time. Dirge regularly heals him with embalming fluids.
