Kerberos (ケルベロス, Keruberosu) is an enemy which appears in Suikoden.
Keberos are likely the most powerful enemy you'll encounter at the Floating Fortress of Shasarazade but if your party is at a relatively comparative level, they should pose little problem save for whittling down your HP in multiple battles. They are completely immune to fire magic and as such fire spells will always do 0 damage.
Information
These two-headed demon dogs could be found at the Floating Fortress of Shasarazade. Most likely summouned by magic, these creatures could shrug off any and all fire-based attacks thanks to its flame coated body but water and earth magic had some effect on it.
