May 20 2008'Hellboy II' Discarded Concept Art: Awful Dog Thing
At the New York Comic Con panel, when Guillermo Del Toro announced he'd be posting concept designs of a three-headed dog that had been cut from the film, I had foolishly pictured the animal as a traditional Cerberus--something with three distinct heads emerging from a single body. It had never occurred to me that it might be a far more grotesque creature--one with three wrinkled faces stretched across a single head, and a body equal parts Zuul from Ghostbusters, Popeye, and Britney Spears Birthing Monument. That's probably why I'm not a Hellboy II designer, and why I'm not haunted by constant nightmares. At least until now.

He looks so sad. I guess grotesque spawns of Satan who have no place in the minds of the people of earth have feelings too.

LOL, I imagine it being really small. Like online it looks large and scary but then I would imagine it being like poodle size if it was real. The dog on Clash of the Titans is scarier.
