What is ARGUS?

Argus is what happens to the Templar when you put pants on him



wolf

Argus from Greek mythology,

The dog of Ulysses (Odysseus), waiting the return of his master and then died.

Gargoyle makes a lot of sense. It needs to be something that won't age and doesn't mind being locked in a room for centuries.

Argus is one bad mofo.

The Argus you find in the Labyrinth seems to me like a huge Gargoyle, perhaps a hybrid of a Gargoyle, a dog/ wolf and a bear.

He was Izaro's guard "dog" and pet.

The "original" Argus in Greek mythology was a giant with a hundred (or so) eyes, who would obviously be an ideal sentinel. He was ordered to watch over Io, one of Zeus' concubines, after she had been transformed into a cow by Hera, Zeus' wife, so that Zeus would not cheat on her (Hera) anymore.
However, Zeus sent Hermes to kill Argus, which he achieved by lulling Argus by playing a new instrument he'd just invented, the syrinx (pan flute).

Odysseus' watch dog, known for his loyalty, was also called Argus (well in Greek they were called Argos, but we tend to use the latinized forms) - it's unclear whether this is a reference to the 100eyed Argos, but it would be fitting.

I think it was one of the greek gods pets (pretty sure its a dog)

I think if it as a gas company.

Maybe because we get our gasses (O2, Acetylene, etc) at work from a company called AirGas.

Sounds close.

Argus is cooler though.

You had the right thoughts.


That bulky meat ball is indeed a deformed gargoyle.

I believe the closest description would be: fucked-up gorilla dog.

He is angry.
