What is peryton?

Peryton is a mythical creature originating from medieval European folklore. It is described as a winged beast with the body of a deer and the head, forelegs, and antlers of a bird of prey, usually an eagle or falcon. The creature is said to have the ability to fly and prey on animals in the forests.

Perytons are believed to originate from the lost island of Atlantis and are said to have migrated to other regions of the world, such as Europe and North America. They are often associated with symbols of death and transformation, as well as being considered symbols of the hunt.

In modern pop culture, perytons are often portrayed as mysterious and otherworldly creatures, sometimes as antagonists or allies in fantasy literature and video games. They are often depicted as powerful and dangerous creatures with fearsome hunting abilities, making them a fearsome adversary for adventurers and heroes.
