Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Cerberus is a popular brand for furry products. This makes it easy to find third party products made for them
- Their heads are very expressive out of the box, and you can purchase first and third party animators for even more expression options.
Neutral Notes
- * While skin and makeup are provided, it’s mostly just an example skin to give you an idea how the head can look. The only body it’s compatible with is Regalia. The head CAN be used with other skins and bodies, and most folks who use Canis either purchase a mod kit designed specifically for Canis or make things themselves.
Cons
- * There is no neck with the Cerberus Canis head. A lot of folks use third party free options such as Apricot Paw’s SLUV Neck Extender or NARCOTIC SLUMBER’s Neck Extenders. You will not achieve a seamless neck with this head.
