| - The Afanc can only be defeated with magic, specifically the use of the oppositional base elements of Fire and Air. The Afanc is said to be a beast born of clay and conjured only by the most powerful sorcerers. In fact, Nimueh shaped a piece of clay into the figure of a small animal while chanting a spell ("Ic acennan eowic ac ic hredde eowic"). She put in into an egg shaped box with markings on it, including her mark, then dropped it into a pool of water leading it to Camelot's water source.
- Lurking in the deep, the Afanc pulls creatures passing along the shore down into the water. Some say it's a water sprite. Others that it's an unknown. This folk is available with Keats and can be acquired from the Undersea City.
- Afanc (AY-fænk), or gawwar samakat, were a dangerous breed of fish found in the oceans around Zakhara, the Land of Fate. These creatures were initially named because they were confused with a similar creature found in the distant Moonshae Isles. Within the Land of Fate, gawwar samakat was the proper name to use when discussing these fish. Some sailors returned with tales that the gawwar samakat would sometimes sing to lure ships to their doom, leading others to believe that these fish possessed more than “animal” intelligence.
- Also known as Addanc, it is a lake monster from Welsh lore. Both the lake and it's appearance has varied: it has been described as resembling a crocodile, beaver, dwarf-like, and is sometimes said to be a demon. Meanwhile, the lakes it live in are said to be Llyn Llion, Llyn Barfog, near Brynberian Bridge, and in Llyn yr Afanc. The Afanc would prey upon anyone foolish enough to fall into or swim in its lake.
- The Afanc (Crocodylus cymri) is an Awakened crocodile. It typically grows to a length of 4.5 meters and weighs around 375 kilograms. It resembles a crocodile save for the webbed feet and large flat tail that resembles a beaver's. It is a carnivore of exceptional cunning, and while they live in semi-social groups of up to six, they tend to be solitary hunters. They have a remarkable, almost magical, ability to detect prey within their territory, and often use tactics which bury their prey under water, drowning it while it struggles under the tremendous strength of the Afanc's jaws.
