Giant Multi-Headed Dog

A large, multi-headed dog with wings, this summon has a number of body piercings and Rinnegan, implying it is being controlled by Pain.

Abilities
It was modified by Pain using the Amplification Summoning Technique, so that it can split apart, when struck, into individual dogs that can then merge back together. It gains additional heads every time it splits in this way, and each duplicated head carries the Chakra Receiver and the Rinnegan like the original. According to Nagato, the only way it can be defeated is by defeating its original summoner. In the anime, this summon is seen at different sizes, ranging from several stories tall to just tall enough to fit underneath trees.

This dog is also physically strong and resilient, since it broke through the ANBU Captains' Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop, Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Bind, and received no more than minor burns from Fire Release: Fired Pottery Technique despite having its legs cut off by the Wind Release: Wind Cutter.

Itachi Pursuit Arc
It is first summoned during Pain's fight with Jiraiya, but Killer Bn]] is able to fend it off.

Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
In the anime during the Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc, it appears in front of Tsurugi and his hunter-nin unit and attacks them.

Invasion of Pain Arc
It is summoned again during his attack on Konoha, where it fights against Gamaken, Gamabunta, and Gamahiro. They are unable to prevent it from splitting and it only disappeared once Naruto defeated the Animal Path.

Shinobi World War Arc
It is summoned again during Nagato's and Itachi Uchiha's fight with Naruto Uzumaki and Killer Bee. Naruto attacks it only for Nagato to remind him that it can't be beaten directly.
