In Irish mythology, Fragarach, known as 'The Answerer' or 'The Retaliator' was the sword of Manannan mac Lir and Lugh Lamfada. Manannan wielded it as his weapon, before passing it on to Lugh (his foster son). It was said to be a weapon that no armour could stop.
Forged by the gods, it was given to Cúchulainn by Lugh, and later to Conn of the Hundred Battles.

Fragarach in fiction
Fragarach appears as a magic sword in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & dragons role-playing game.
In Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, a low class sword bears the name Fragarach. It is said to be a demonic sword, and can be fused with souls of monsters to create either a holy sword called Mystletain, or a toxic sword named Hrunting.
