THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Orthrus

also known as Juvenile Gate Guardian

First seen: Book 4, Chapter 28

Seen for the first time: a two-headed puppy so large he fills half of Bubble #543, stuck in the flooded necropolis with his front legs draped over the bowl's rim. His own item card lists him as a Level 10 Juvenile Gate Guardian and Cerberus's kid brother, innocent enough to be unaffected by the Nothing's blight and immune to fire, but otherwise fragile and not invulnerable like a full god. Testicles still retracted, marking him as young.
