According to JL Borges, Perytons lived in Atlantis until an earthquake destroyed it & the creatures escaped into the world. Other sources say that Perytons are incarnations of travelers who died far from their homes & had fallen out of favor with their gods. 2/3 #FolkloreThursday
Perytons are magical creatures with the head, neck, forelegs & antlers of a stag & the wings, plumage, & hindquarters of a bird of prey. Because their bodies reflect their deeds, the creatures may look elegant or sinister depending on how good/evil they are. 1/3 #FolkloreThursday
