Cerberus

Hades wisely entrusted ferocious Cerberus to protect the gates to the underworld. Only mighty Heracles overcame the hellhound through godly strength and guile as the final and most difficult task of his twelve labours. After being dragged up to the surface through a cave and exposed to daylight, a violently agitated Cerberus vomited toxic froth onto nearby aconite plants (aka Wolf’s Bane). Legend has it that this toxic vomit is what made Wolf’s Bane poisonous.
