Peryton (CTD)

The Peryton Chimera is a type of Hybrid Chimera.

Overview

Peryton are natural hybrids that disappeared into the Far Dreaming before the fall of the Roman Empire. How they made the journey is unknown. In ancient times, perytons were thought to be the spirits of travelers who died far away from their homes or their gods. Of course, this explanation is nonsense, but the Dreaming is a place where nonsense thrives. The feathers of the peryton are brilliant cerulean blue, alternating with deep green, overlaid with an emerald iridescence. They possess the head, legs, size, and antlers of a deer and the body and wings of a bird. Instead of a regular shadow, they cast a human shadow.

Peryton hate humans, but they attack only one person who can return their true shadow. This unfortunate individual, a peryton battles to the death. During the day, perytons tend to soar at dizzying heights around the chimerical ruins of ancient cities and battlefields. If a peryton sees the shadow of a wandering traveler that matches its own, it swoops down to fight.
