  • Taran è un personaggio immaginario, protagonista della pentalogia fantasy per ragazzi de Le cronache di Prydain scritta da Lloyd Alexander. Taran in gallese antico vuol dire tuono, e rimanda alla divinità Taranis; questo nome (così come quello di altri personaggi della serie) è inoltre ripreso da un gruppo di antichi testi in prosa medievali noti come Mabinogion. Nel 1985 la The Walt Disney Company ha tratto dai primi due romanzi della serie (Il libro dei tre e Il calderone nero) un lungometraggio animato in cui il protagonista, nella versione italiana, viene ribattezzato Taron.
