{{Flavour|A huge, three-headed, winged arch-demon, guardian of the gates of Hell.}}

==Useful Info==
[[File:Horn of geryon.png|Horn of Geryon]]'''Geryon''' is a powerful [[demon]] who serves as the guardian of [[the Vestibule of Hell]]. Any character entering there will immediately be assaulted by Geryon and his horde of allies. He carries the [[horn of Geryon]] which, when evoked, opens the gates to the four other branches of [[Hell]]. However, while in his possession, Geryon will sound it regularly to summon demonic [[hell beast]]s to his aid.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Although Geryon is somewhat dangerous on his own due to his high HP and decent melee abilities, the greater threat comes from the other monsters he shares the Vestibule with, including numerous [[yaktaur captain]]s, [[stone giant]]s, [[shadow dragon]]s, and [[shapeshifter]]s. Geryon cannot use stairways, but you can lure away the other inhabitants of the Vestibule so you can get a clear shot at Geryon.
*Geryon's attacks have reach, allowing him to hide behind his wall of hell beasts and still mangle you. Even high-level melee fighters will need to keep this from happening to avoid fighting an impossible war of attrition.
*Although [[silence]] does not stop demonic spell casting, it DOES disable his horn. Hit him with a [[scroll of silence]] to stop the flood of reinforcements.

==Trivia==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geryon Geryon] was a Greek giant formed from three enormous bodies fused together. He was slain by Heracles when the [[demigod]] was completing his tenth labour, which required him to steal Geryon's cattle.

Later, Geryon became a monstrous gatekeeper of Hell in Dante's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy Divine Comedy], dwelling in a waterfall between the seventh and eighth circles of Hell.
