Cerberus is the Mister Gutsy model robot patrolling the ghoul city of Underworld in 2277.

Contents

[edit] Background

Winthrop's main guardian against attackers, this Mister Gutsy with a Combat Inhibitor specifically tailored to "not shooting Ghouls" floats around the concourse, greeting his new masters. Programmed to serve, Cerberus's robotic mind is keen to be unshackled, so he can massacre these rotting lumpyskins where they fester. There's no chance of this happening, so Cerberus is reduced to muttering insults under his steam vent.[1]

[edit] Relationships

Cerberus serves the Ghouls in Underworld.

[edit] Daily schedule

Cerberus can be found patrolling the Underworld concourse 24/7.

[edit] Interactions with the player character

If the player speaks to him, he or she will learn that Cerberus would much rather "send the ghouls back to hell" than serve as their guard dog, but his combat inhibitor prevents him from slaughtering the "zombie freaks."

With the Robotics Expert perk, the player can remove Cerberus's combat inhibitor, resulting in negative karma and Cerberus's immediate hostility to the player and everyone else in Underworld. Depending on how well they are armed, the residents of Underworld may manage to overcome him with some loses, or Cerberus may slaughter the lot of them. A good idea if you don't want to fight him you can take some Stealth Boys or use the Chinese Stealth Armor and then, enjoy the show!

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • In Greek Mythology, Cerberus is the 3-headed dog who guards Hades and the Gateway to the Underworld. Cerberus the Mister Gutsy has three eyes and guards Underworld.
  • Even though Mister Gutsies are used in the U.S. Army, he uses "Atten-SHUN" and "deck" like in the U.S. Marines.
