Adar Llwch Gwin - Welsh Mythology:
A mythical monster from Welsh mythology that is portrayed as enormous, perceptive birds is frequently thought to be related to the griffin.

A warrior named Drudwas ap Tryffin received the Adar Llwch Gwin from his fairy wife. The name is a combination of the Welsh words adar, llwch, and gwin ("wine"). It was stated that these birds could hear human speech and would follow their master's instructions. However, before engaging in combat with the heroic Arthur, Drudwas gave the order to murder the first combatant.

When Drudwas entered the combat first, Arthur himself was late, and the birds eventually turned against him, ripping him to pieces. The term "Adar Llwch Gwin" later came to refer to all raptors, including hawks, falcons, and brave men, in medieval Welsh poetry.
