Chapters 4 and 5 see Cerberus go through a character design update with an InUniverse justification: Cerberus gets his face torn off in a fight with Chimera, only to then have it crudely stapled back on.

The Xar-Ggothua themselves are an evolved, super-intelligent version of Nekrosis, and they aren't the only form Nekrosis can evolve into, such as the bloodhound-like Xth-Nthogg seen in the comic.]]
