The Cerberus Kids (ケルベローズ Keruberōzu, "Ker-Bros") are an Aku variant of Those Guys that appears in Legend Stages and The Aku Realms.
Enemy
Like Those Guys, their main purpose is to get in the way, as they have low base stats but are usually spawned en masse. They have a chance to Freeze units they hit for 4 seconds, which can be a problem, as they can prevent powerful units from shaking them off (them and other, more damaging enemies) once reached. Even tanky cats such as Dioramos may end up taking a knockback when reached despite their health, due to the inability to attack.
Strategy
Treat them like a more annoying version of Those Guys. They are a simple peon that almost any attacker can defeat. The biggest hazard they have is their 4-second freeze, but their range is only 120 and their attacks are still single-target, so it shouldn't matter too much. If you are worried about it, however, use Cats with Freeze Immunity.
Waves are the best way to destroy swarms of them.

Trivia
- Their collective name comes from Cerberus, the canine guardian of the underworld in Greek Mythology who has three heads like how these netdwellers come in groups of three.
- Their collective name in Japanese, Ker-Bros, is a portmanteau of Kérberos, another name for Cerberus, and bros.
- According to their Japanese description, these stickmen have names. From left to right, you have Tiablo (ティアブロ Tiaburo), Baal (バール Bāru) and Mephisto (メフィスト Mefisuto).
- Tiablo is one letter away from diablo, the Spanish word for 'Devil'.
- Baal is another name for the Christian demon Bael.
- Mephisto takes his name from Mephistopheles, a Faustian demon.
- They share their names with the three Prime Evils from the Diablo franchise – with the exception of Tiablo, which is off by one letter.
- Despite what their description states, there is no Red variant of this enemy.
- They have the lowest health and money drop of all Aku Enemies.
- They were technically an event enemy for a short time, as they were initially exclusive to the Empress' Research stages and The Great Diablo.
