Cerberus was a three-headed hellhound (the poet Hesiod claimed he had 50) with snake-like extremities and the claws of a lion. In Greek and Roman mythology, Cerberus was said to have been the offspring of two monsters, Typhon (a fire-breathing serpent) and Echidna (commonly portrayed as an odd juxtaposition of beautiful woman and deadly serpent).

Often depicted as a three headed hellhound, some extreme illustrations depict the Cerberus as having a mane of fire, and having a tail with a large serpent, or a mane full of snakes.

As depicted in Percy Jackson (book), It guards the entrance to the Underworld.
A similar variation is observed as Fluffy, in Harry Potter, guarding the Sorcerer's stone.

Basically provided with a job to guard or protect something, it makes a good pet for any vicious villain
