So there's the peryton, a strange winged deer composite monster apparently from fakelore, disappointingly. One of the things about them was that they had the shadow of a man (or presumably woman perhaps if they were gender matching), and to get its own shadow it would have to kill someone to do it. So this got me thinking, maybe there were people out there who had the peryton shadows. What difficulty would that be for them. Surely people would comment!

It would probably easier for a peryton wanting a right shaped shadow to find someone to kill, than a person finding a peryton. Or did they have to find someone in particular who had their shadow. And why would the peryton even care. It's not like the other perytons would burn them at the stake for having the wrong shaped shadow.

The story of the person who had the shadow of a peryton and refused to hand it over could be quite a read.

Also I was just about wringing out the brush pen, it needs refilling now.

I guess all folklore could be considered 'fakelore' anyway? Anyhow, this is a cool fun legend and picture too!

Neat.

Very cool idea!

Also, go you for completing the whole of Drawtober, it's quite a feat!
