Peryton's Prey

At the start of each of its turns, the peryton chooses one creature it can see. That creature is the peryton's prey until the start of the peryton's next turn.

Unhindered

When the peryton moves on its turn, it pulls with it any creature grabbed by it. The peryton can pull the creature vertically off a solid surface. During this movement, the creature remains grabbed, and this movement does not provoke an opportunity attack from the grabbed creature.
