Peryton (ペリュントン, Peryunton) is a Guardian ÄRM with monstrous form. It can emit energy from its mouth, much like Ginta's Gargoyle.
Etymology and Origin[]
The Peryton is a mythological hybrid animal combining the physical features of a stag and a bird; first described by Jorge Luis Borges in his Book of Imaginary Beings, using a supposedly long-lost medieval manuscript as a source. The Peryton is said to have the head, neck, forelegs and antlers of a stag, combined with the plumage, wings and hindquarters of a large bird, although some interpretations portray the Peryton as a deer in all but coloration and bird's wings.
According to Borges, Perytons lived in Atlantis until an earthquake destroyed the civilization and the creatures escaped by flight. A Peryton casts the shadow of a man until it kills one during its lifetime, at which time it starts to cast its own shadow. A sibyl once prophesied that the Perytons would lead to the downfall of Rome.
History[]
Peryton is among the many new ÄRMs Ian acquired and trained with after surviving the Chess Pieces' most dangerous Training Gate.
