In Celtic/Welsh mythology, the Cwn Annwn are the red-eared, white-coated phantom hounds belonging to Arawn, Lord of Annwn, the World of the Dead. Their purpose is to hunt down and destroy guilty souls, especially those of traitors.

The Cwn Annwn also participate in the Wild Hunt, during which the denizens of the Underworld kidnap inhabitants of the world of the living and bring them below.

It is said that their growling is loudest when they are at a distance, and as they draw nearer, it grows softer and softer. Their coming is generally seen as a death portent.

If you need to know, the pronunciation is something like "coon annoon". ;)
