"In Greek Mythology, Orthrus was a two-headed, serpent-tailed dog who guarded Geryon's gorgeous red cattle, and was the offspring of the Goddess, Echidna and the God, Typhon. Orthros' name was derived from the Greek word orthros meaning "Twilight". He was the brother of Cerberus, a three-headed dog who guarded the Underworld, and they were both eventually killed by the demigod hero, Heracles. I think if Orthrus were alive today, he would be able to help people in trouble by using his guarding skills, fire-breathing powers, and enormous size."
