Kunoros, Hound of Athreos, is the guardian dog of the god Athreos on Theros. He is a three-headed cerberus that guards The Underworld.

History[ | ]

Phyrexian Invasion[ | ]

As the invasion of Theros neared total compleation, the branches of the Invasion Tree pierced into the Underworld itself. The Phyrexian forces marched through, compleating all they touched...until they encountered Kroxa, the titan of death's hunger, who devoured them so thoroughly that no trace of them remained - not even glistening oil. Seeing this, Athreos chose to strike Kroxa's chains and set him loose within the Underworld. To keep the titan from escaping to the mortal realm, Athreos charged Kunoros with keeping him in check. Kunoros shepherds the paroled Kroxa, guiding it along the paths that Athreos wishes, where it will inflict the most damage to Phyrexians and the least damage to everything else.[1]
