+Cŵn Annwn are wolf-like animals which possess a connection to Anþerswelten, although this connection has not yet been fully explored. They are capable of using some type of wind magic that allows them to run at incredible speed. In fact, Cŵn Annwn are able to run so fast that it can appear like they're teleporting. They are related to wolves, although they are believed to be significantly smarter.
+=== Appearance ===
+Cŵn Annwn (Canis celeriventus) are lupines with mostly white fur, which is interspersed with red strands. Their large ears are also red.
+=== Habitat ===
+These canids live in the forests of Britain in small packs, a lot like normal wolves.
+=== Etymology ===
+Cŵn Annwn (pronounced "koon an-noon") are spectral hounds from Welsh mythology. They are believed to be the hunting dogs of Arawn, the king of Annwn, the Welsh Otherworld. Their howls are thought to foretell death or represent the sound of the Wild Hunt, a supernatural procession led by Arawn or other deities. However, what the people believe to be Cŵn Annwn howls may possibly Grimhound howls.
