Kisah dan tradisi
Dalam mitologi dan cerita rakyat Wales (Welsh), Cŵn Annwn ("anjing-anjing Annwn"; tunggal Ci Annwn) adalah anjing hantu dari Annwn, dunia lain Wales. Mereka dikaitkan dengan sejenis Perburuan Liar (Wild Hunt) yang dipimpin Arawn, raja Annwn dalam Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed (Cabang Pertama Mabinogi), atau Gwyn ap Nudd dalam tradisi abad pertengahan kemudian. Di Wales mereka dikaitkan dengan angsa yang bermigrasi, konon karena suara angsa di malam hari mirip gonggongan anjing. Menurut cerita rakyat Wales, geraman mereka paling keras saat masih jauh dan makin lirih saat mendekat, dan kedatangan mereka umumnya pertanda kematian. Annwn dalam tradisi Wales adalah tempat kelimpahan dan awet muda, bukan tempat hukuman, tetapi orang Kristen menyebut mereka "Hounds of Hell" dan menganggapnya milik Setan. Mereka kadang ditemani nenek menakutkan bernama Mallt-y-Nos, "Matilda Malam", dan juga disebut Cŵn Mamau ("Anjing para Ibu"). Menurut artikel de, anjing-anjing ini bertelinga merah dan bertubuh putih seperti hantu, dan salah satunya, Drudwyn, menangkap babi hutan Twrch Trwyth di bawah Mabon ap Modron.
In Welsh myth and folklore the Cŵn Annwn ('hounds of Annwn'; singular Ci Annwn) were the ghostly hounds of Annwn, the Welsh otherworld. They are tied to a form of the Wild Hunt led either by Arawn, king of Annwn in Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed (the First Branch of the Mabinogi), or by Gwyn ap Nudd in later medieval lore. In Wales they were linked with migrating geese, whose night honking sounds like barking. Welsh folklore says their growl is loudest when far off and softer as they come near, and their coming is usually a death portent. The Annwn of Welsh tradition is a place of plenty and eternal youth, not punishment, yet Christians called them the 'Hounds of Hell' and took them to be Satan's. They are sometimes accompanied by a fearsome crone, Mallt-y-Nos, 'Matilda of the Night', and are also called Cŵn Mamau ('Hounds of the Mothers'). According to the de article these hounds have red ears and white, ghostly bodies, and one of them, Drudwyn, caught the boar Twrch Trwyth under Mabon ap Modron.
