D6This peryton has the head
1of a stag. Its territorial screeches can (and on a nightly basis do) wake up everything in its wide territory.
2of an antelope. It's more comfortable hunting in packs than others of its kind.
3of a giraffe. It's got an elongated neck, which it can whip hard enough to shatter bones.
4of a curly-horned and white-bearded goat. It's an old one, and familiar with many tricks of its hunters.
5of a camel. It thirsts for blood as much as it hungers for hearts. It has long, wicked fangs and a slithering tongue.
6of a moose. It can mimic the voices of skulls it's impaled upon its antlers.
D6This peryton has the body
1of a vulture, dark-feathered and gore-strewn. It preys on the dead and the near-dead when possible.
2of an owl. It only hunts at night, and in total silence.
3of a falcon. It can dive at great speed to devastatingly impale those below.
4of a puffin. It can swim as well as it flies, and hunts among the waves.
5of a hummingbird. It can turn on a dime and otherwise maneuver better than any other flying creature could.
6of a flamingo. It can sprint even faster than it can fly, and enjoys running prey to exhaustion.
D6This peryton takes hearts
1so it can plant them in its own chest, as its exertions wear out its own heart swiftly.
2because it believes that by studying enough high-quality hearts it might finally understand love.
3because it is a gourmand and finds hearts to be the most delectable part of the body.
4because it's able to keep hearts pumping long after they should die, so that they can circulate warmth to incubate its eggs.
5simply as trophies for its personal collection, as it has the soul of a serial killer.
6as decorations to woo a mate, as the ultimate symbol of love.
D6This peryton nests
1in the ruptured ribcage of a skeletal giant.
2on a tangle of reeds in the caldera-lake of an extinct volcano.
