My friends, here another work of ¨mitos y leyendas¨TCG, let´s wikki attack:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ellén Trechend is a three-headed monster referred to in Irish mythology . It is mentioned in the text Cath Maige Mucrama (The Battle of Mag Mucrima) as having emerged from the cave of Cruachan (Rathcroghan , County Roscommon ) and laid Ireland waste until it was killed by the Ulaid poet and hero Amergin .[1]
Its name is difficult to interpret: trechend means "three-headed", but ellén is an obscure word. One translator interprets it as a "swarm of three-headed creatures";[2] Whitley Stokes offered a "monstrous triple-headed bird" (Old Irish én, "bird");[3] while T. F. O'Rahilly identifies it with Aillén , the fire-breathing monster fought by Fionn mac Cumhaill .[4]
In P.W. Joyce's A Smaller Social History of Ancient Ireland he tells how the Sidhe of Cruachan opened on Samhain and a crowd of horrible goblins rushed out, along with a flock of copper-red birds who were led by a monstrous three-headed vulture.[5] It is very possible that the vulture is the Ellen Trechend as the copper-red birds are also mentioned in Cath Maige Mucrama.

Please enjoy!!!
