  Peryton - ErrantryWiki
Perytons are built by the Lone Power, and manifest in shapes which the beings they pursue will find frightening and evocative of their purpose: for humans, this often means wolves, though other shapes are possible depending on what cultural context is native to the beings they are pursuing.
A peryton may persist for a matter of centuries before the soul within it becomes sufficiently vitiated to cease to exist.
There have apparently been a very few cases of a soul within a peryton escaping its prison: these have always been souls which were merely deranged rather than degraded, and which came to their senses and departed the shells that held them.

The peryton resembles a giant, dark green eagle, except that its head is that of a blue-fl stag, its horns glitter as ebon as obsidian, its eyes glow a dull red-orange.
The peryton climbs so rapidly that most targets do not react until they are at least 100 feet in the air and facing a 10d6 plummet if they manage to escape the peryton's grasp.
Perytons sometimes take humans and humanoid creatures alive and hold them captive in their nests until they are needed as food (90% likely for nonhumans, 25 % the case for humans) or for reproduction (see below).
