Question

After laying waste to Ireland and Dyfed (“DUH-vid”), one of these animals was driven into the sea from Cornwall. (15[2])Another of these animals named Henwen gave birth to the Cath Palug. (15[2])Taking the shape of a bird, an “interpreter of tongues” named Gwrhyr served as emissary to one of these animals, which had earlier poisoned and thereby permanently injured Menw fab Teirgwaedd (“MEN-oo fob teer-gwai”). While pursuing one of these animals, the hound Cafall left a footprint upon a stone. Pryderi was renowned as one of the three “most powerful” keepers of these animals, which were stolen by Gwydion to incite a war. Pryderi and Rhiannon vanished after following one of these animals into a castle containing a golden bowl. (*) Ysbaddaden (“EES-buh-DA-den”) insisted on a shave using the comb and scissors stuck between the ears of one of these animals. For 10 points, Arthur assisted Culhwch (“KEEL-hookh”) in hunting Twrch Trwyth (“toork truh-ith”), who was what kind of animal? ■END■
