Traits

Flyby

The peryton doesn't provoke an Opportunity Attack when it flies out of an enemy's reach.

Actions

Multiattack

The peryton makes one Gore attack and one Talons attack.

Gore

Melee Attack: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) Piercing damage. If the peryton moved 30+ feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 9 (2d8) Piercing damage.

Talons

Melee Attack: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) Piercing damage. If the attack reduces a Humanoid target to 0 Hit Points, the peryton kills the target by removing its heart.
