If you can pull out enough examples, by all means make a TLP. You'll need at least three, preferably 10.

OP is TLP-banned, but I'll still point out that there is an active draft that wants to split Cerberus from Hellhound.
Total posts: 3
While both are the samples, I think examples of Cerberus in Hellhound should be spun off into its own subtrope. The reason are twofold:
1. The obvious one is that three-headeness makes it distinct from other Hellhounds, which are usually one-headed. Honestly, being its own creature makes me wonder why it was never its own trope to begin with. 2. Many depictions are a bit more benevolent than Hellhounds.
