For the creature from Dungeons & Dragons, see Modron (Dungeons & Dragons).
Modron ("mother")[1] is a figure in Welsh tradition, known as the mother of the hero Mabon ap Modron. Both characters may have derived from earlier divine figures, in her case the Gaulish goddess Matrona. She may have been a prototype for Morgan le Fay from the Arthurian legend.
