Dossier
Species Information

WILD
Something affecting evolution on the ARKs seems to have a knack for mythology! Cerberax tricipitis is a huge three-headed canid, capable of taking on even a Rex or Ossidon in a fair fight. Anything short of a Giga or Carcha is going to have a tough time fighting Cerberax. Its sheer size allows it to take a beating, so be sure to make it bleed if you plan to fight one.
The three heads of Cerberax all use separate tactics, but their real strength is working together. The right head applies fire to subdue its prey, while consuming venom to cripple it. The left head applies venom to weaken its prey, while consuming fire to heal its body. The central head coordinates the other two, resulting in more damage from the side heads, and causing their venom and their flames to spread to nearby targets.
DOMESTICATED
Taming Cerberax involves winning over not one, but three animals. When subdued by narcotics, all its adrenaline surges to a single head. By quickly mounting that head and placating its anger, you can wear down its reserves of energy. Another head will wake, so repeat until all three collapse and you can feed it into submission.
Abilities After Taming
Once finally tamed, Cerberax is best ridden by a team of three Survivors. One Survivor controls the body and main head, while the other Survivors control the left and right heads to maximize combat efficiency. Working as a team, the three heads bolster each other’s abilities to their maximum potential!

Awesome!
It seems like taming it with multiple players would be easier.
