Could Cerberus be a pack animal?
So I've created a Cerberus creature that is a group of three hyena-like dogs instead of one organism. The three individuals are linked together, much like an ant colony or bee hive. They would be linked together from birth, and would eat, sleep, and hunt together until death. A Cerberus pack would function so well together that it would appear that they were one organism, and each body was simply an extension of this one mind. During hunting each of the three would know their roles, and would be able to improvise and adapt to the situation as it changes.
Does this type of organism make sense? Specifically, does the aspect of three canine beasts being linked together like this seem reasonable and could they function as an effective predator this way?
