 Arthur agrees to help him, sending six of his many warriors to assist him on his quest, with Menw as the sixth.Each warrior has his own unique skill; Menw is a skilled magician, able to place he and his companions under an illusion of invisibility so as to protect them in savage lands.Prior to the Hunting of Twrch Trwyth, Menw is sent in the form of a bird to spy on Twrch Trwyth and his piglets, eventually catching up with him at "Osgair Oerfel" in Ireland.
