Giant Multi-Headed Dog

A large, multi-headed dog with wings, this summon has a number of body piercings and Rinnegan eyes, implying it is being controlled by Pain. Using Amplification Summoning Technique, 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. It is first summoned during Pain's fight with Jiraiya, but Gamaken is able to fend it off. 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 disappears once Naruto defeated its summoner.

Trivia
