'''Twinbellows''' (ツインベロス ''Tsuinberosu''), is a large, two-headed dog that is a recurring boss of the [[Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' series]]. Its body is engulfed in flames and is the very first boss that [[Pit]] faces in the series. It is referred to as "the Underworld's faithful watchdog".  

Twinbellows is a large, demonic dog that lives within the dark caverns of the Underworld. In ''[[Kid Icarus (game)|Kid Icarus]]'', it was bright red in color, with yellow spikes running along its back (which are missing in its artwork). It also had a fiery mane, which was not visible in-game. In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', its body is darker red, with much of its fur engulfed in flames. It is shown that the beast was formerly chained down since it has a large, metal brace with a broken chain attached to its left paw. Both of its heads also wear similar-looking spiked collars with chains dangling down from them. In addition, Twinbellows wears bone armor along its back, with funnel-like spouts that shoot flames running along its spine.

===''Kid Icarus''===

In the first ''[[Kid Icarus (game)|Kid Icarus]]'', Twinbellows is the Gatekeeper of the Underworld [[Fortress]] and the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]' [[Sacred Casket]] that lies within. Twinbellows travels slowly, spewing fireballs at Pit; these fireballs generally pass overhead and Pit's opening to attack is when Twinbellows is readying another shot.

===''Kid Icarus: Uprising''===

In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', [[Pit]] fights Twinbellows in a colosseum within a [[Town#That First Town|town]] of the first chapter, ''[[The Return of Palutena]]''. Twinbellows is much larger compared to its previous appearance, and reprises its role as the first boss of the game. Its attacks include a swipe, a charge (if this misses, it is stunned for a moment from the collision with the colosseum wall), and various fire breath attacks.

*Twinbellows's Japanese name appears to be a portmanteau of the words, "twin" (ツイン ''tsuin''), and "Cerberus" (ケルベロス ''Keruberosu'').  

*Twinbellows's Idol description possibly references the size of his sprite in the original ''Kid Icarus'' (where he was around Pit's height), as it mentions that Medusa resized him when she attacked the town.
