Peryton
A stag-headed, winged predator rips the heart from a fresh corpse to feed and heal, and the sight alone breaks onlookers' nerve.
A stag's antlered head set atop a great winged body, the peryton hunts living hearts—and is said to cast the shadow of a man until it has fed.
In play
Heart Ripper [Single Action] (Attack, Emotion, Fear, Visual) 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 DC 21 Will save or become frightened 1 (or frightened 2 on a critical failure).
