As a free action, a peryton can make a ranged touch attack by flying over a humanoid target - the maximum range of this attack is 300 feet. If the peryton hits, its shadow transforms to match the shadow of the creature struck. Once a peryton has established this link, it gains a +4 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 bonus on damage rolls made against that target, and every time the peryton hits that target with an attack, the creature must make a Spell save or become frightened for 1 round. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.
