Profile

Origin

The afanc is a Welsh mythical creature associated with Powys and North Wales. It is said to be a fusion between a pike and a beaver that devours anyone who approaches its waters. When angered, it would cause floods by thrashing about. Iolo Morganwwg's version of the tale tells of Hu Gadarn's oxen dragging the beast away from the water for it to be killed.[1] Llyn-yr-Afanc is named after the legend of the creature.

Design

The design of afanc mirrors that of traditional interpretations.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
(Akuma Zensho; PSP)

出身地：イギリス

巨大なビーバーの姿をした妖獣。川のよどみに棲み、近くにきた人間を襲う。

アーヴァンクは人間を襲う川の魔物である。水の中に渦巻を起こし、これをのぞきこんだ者を水中に引きずり込む。彼は大人が数人束になってもかなわないほどの怪力の持ち主であるから、抵抗しても無駄である。

このアーヴァンクも乙女には弱かった。誘われて陸に上がったところを、雄牛の力で捕らえられたことがある。

Devil Survivor: Overclocked

A lake monster that looks like a giant beaver, said to dwell in stagnant rivers. It causes whirlpools and drags down those who look into them. Its strength is monstrous, greater than many men together, but it is weak in the face of a maiden. There is a tale where one was lured onto land and ended up captured by the powers of a bull.

Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker
Kaneko Kazuma Dennō Akuma Zukan 北ウェールズのコンウィー川に棲む、巨大なビーバーの姿をした怪物。よどみの淵に渦巻きを起こしては、そこに落ちた動物や人間を水中に引きずりこむ。アーヴァンクは恐るべき怪力の持ち主で、人間の男たちが束になっても敵わないが、唯一美しい乙女だけには従順で、乙女をおとりにすれば容易に捕らえることができたという。
Translation: A monster shaped like a giant beaver which dwells in the River Conwy, North Wales. It causes whirlpools in the depths of stagnant waters, pulling underwater any animals or humans who have fallen in. It is said that the Afanc is possessed of such astonishing monstrous strength that even a group of human men could not match it; it will only obey a beautiful maiden, thus one could easily capture it by using a maiden as bait.

Nomenclature

From Welsh afanc ("beaver"). Related to Welsh afon ("river").
