The Egg Cerberus is a giant, armoured robot dog created by Dr. Eggman. it is the first boss for Sonic and Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Description[]
The Egg Cerberus is a giant robot modelled after a dog. It is covered head-to-tail in armour plating and sports glowing red optics on its head. Also attached to the head is a glowing antenna which acts as a receiver for command signals, allowing for remote control.
The Egg Cerberus is encountered in both Sonic's and Shadow's story campaigns and looks different in each story. In Sonic's story, its body is mostly black with red highlights on its neck, shoulders and thighs. In Shadow's story, its body is mostly red, but has various white patches on its body due to operating in the snowy environment of White Acropolis.
Boss Guide[]
Sonic the Hedgehog[]
The gigantic Egg Cerberus is heavily armoured and attacks simply by charging around its combat area, trampling everything in its path. It is too big and too strong for Sonic to damage on his own, but he is able to grind up on the dog's tail and upper back and grab onto the antenna on its head. Doing this will interfere with Eggman's remote control signal and the dog will charge about in a frenzy. If the player pushes or pulls the antenna, he can coerce the Egg Cerberus to run into walls and obstacles. The dog will take more damage depending on the strength and weight of the obstacle it rams. When Sonic battles the Egg Cerberus in the ancient Soleanna coliseum, running into stone pillars will only do minor damage, whereas running into the arena wall will take off a quarter of the dog's health, and ramming one of the two statues at either end of the arena will take off half its health. The Egg Cerberus loses its head armour when it drops to half health.
Shadow the Hedgehog[]
The battle is nearly identical to Sonic's version, with the only difference being that there are no special objects on the arena wall for the Egg Ceberus to smash himself into for double the damage. Enemies such as the Egg Gunner are also present.
