remove implication cerberus (1882) -> multi_head (10067)
remove alias cerberus_(species) (0) -> cerberus (1882)
remove alias kerberos (0) -> cerberus (1882)

Reason: 'Cerberus' is used as a name for a couple fictional characters that are not actually the multiheaded hellhound species, one of the most recent additions is the cerberus skin from Fortnite, of which some interpretations will have actual heads or real faces while in other interpretations the extra heads are basically more akin to parts of a worn armor/clothing. To avoid confusion the blank cerberus tag should be disambiguated.

follow up:

alias cerberus -> cerberus_(disambiguation)
alias cerberus_(species) -> mythological_cerberus
alias kerberos -> mythological_cerberus

Any thoughts about a "non-mythological_cerberus" tag? E.G.:

post #4942881

Since the implication tree adds demon and canid_demon because of hellhound because of cerberus (and mythological_cerberus after the follow-up). And I'd contest that there's anything demonic about the above, unless having three heads is enough to count.

I could be missing/overthinking something or just be getting ahead of myself, but I figured I'd ask anyways since I happened to see that picture poking around cerberus.

It shouldn't be tagged any of those things, IMO, it's just a multi head dog. I don't think we need tags for what is essentially multi_head_<species> that aren't specific mythological creatures.

I figured that'd be the quickest answer, lol, works for me.
