    • The peryton rips out the heart of an adjacent corpse with their jaws.
    • The creature must have died in the last minute. As the peryton rips the heart free and swallows it whole, they regain 2d6 HP, and any non-peryton that witnesses this event must succeed at a 21 Will save or become frightened 1 (or frightened 2 on a critical failure).

    • The peryton Flies, going no higher than 20 feet over the target creature. The target creature must succeed at a 21 Will save or the peryton's shadow changes to match that cast by the target creature. With their shadow so transformed, the peryton gains a +2 status bonus to attack and damage rolls against that creature. In addition, each time the peryton successfully Strike||Strikes that creature, the creature must succeed at a 21 Will save or become frightened 1, or increase its frightened condition by 1 if it's already frightened. This is an emotion and fear effect. The shadow remains transformed for 1 hour or until the peryton Mimics a Shadow again, whichever comes first.
