Twrch Trwyth
Twrch Trwyth (; also Trwyd, Troynt (MSS.''HK''); Troit (MSS.''C1 D G Q''); or Terit (MSS. ''C2 L'')) is an enchanted wild boar in the ''Matter of Britain'' great story cycle that King Arthur or his men pursued with the aid of Arthur's dog Cavall ( cy, Cafall, la, Cabal). The names of the hound and boar are glimpsed in a piece of geographical onomasticon composed in Latin in the ninth century, the ''Historia Brittonum''. However, a richly elaborate account of the great hunt appears in the Welsh prose romance ''Culhwch and Olwen'', probably written around 1100.
