Talk:Peryton

message: From VfD:
The article is poorly written & misrepresents.  Content is very like the few other mentions found via Google.  Lempriere's Dictionary has never heard of it, and neither has Bartleby.com, so I'm guessing that, if this is, indeed, a mythological creature, it's a) a very recent one b) not one that inspired any authors to write about it or allude to it.  With the fake ancient history, the article is misinformation. Geogre 13:21, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's an almost certainty that Borges based the Peryton on the illustration of the demon Furfur from Collin de Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal", first published in 1818. Perhaps he left out the source due to its perhaps controversial nature, being from a book on ostensibly black magic and not from a fairy tale. Borges reference to it being in a "medieval manuscript" would seem to back this up. You can simply look at the illustration of Furfur in de Plancy's book and immediately recognize it as the source of the Peryton. 207.153.46.3 (talk) 17:06, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Surely Hippogriffs are the primary inspiration for Hippogriff creatures.  Is there something special or different about Warcraft Hippogriffs?  P Ingerson (talk) 18:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and I'm removing the comment until someone can provide evidence that Warcraft hippogriffs are based on perytons, not mythological (or perhaps, D&D) hippogriffs. Applejuicefool 19:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that WoW doesn't get the idea of hippogriffs from the peryton, but if you look closely at the model they use for "hippogryphs," they aren't entirely hippogriffs. They're dark-bluish, feathered quadrupeds with beaked and antlered heads, which fits Borges' description in some ways. See http://www.wowwiki.com/Image:Hippo.jpg and http://www.wowwiki.com/Hippogryph (contrary to wowwiki's claim, the back hooves are the uncloven perissodactyl hooves of a horse, not the cloven artiodactyl hooves of a deer). I think it's possible that the WoW hippogryph is intended amalgamate the peryton and the the classical hippogriff. I haven't paid much attention to the shadow, but I'll have to take a look now. :) Tarchon 06:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: From what I've seen of the current page, it's almost verbatim of this website, which seems to have invented its own mythology of the peryton independently of Borges. 67.162.118.167 (talk) 06:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello, I've completed the french article about peryton (sorry for my bad english), and it's not a legentary creature, Borge have "invented" it. See, in spanish, Rainer W. Klein, Monstruos Y Gigantes, Imaginador, 2004, 128 p. (), or in french : Michel Lafon, Borges, ou, La réécriture, Éditions du Seuil, coll. « Collection Poétique », 1990, 336 p. (). Borges loves the mirrors, labyrinths, and co. The medieval manuscript quoted in the book of imaginary beings don't exist ! Thx. --Tsaag Valren (talk) 08:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not a legendary creature 

message: A peryton appears as an enemy Japanese freeware game La-Mulana, one of several creatures that appear in the Book of Imaginary Beings. Should a mention of this be made in the pop culture section? 71.213.195.146 (talk) 00:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Presence in "La-Mulana" 

message: I'd been seeing a lot of peryton monsters in the Dark Summoner mobile game, and I was curious, so I searched and found this page. The reason is that I was editing a page on the YGO Wikia. Said page is about a card based off the peryton.
As I just joined, I'm not sure if either of the examples are notable enough, though I'm much more certain about the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" example than the "Dark Summoner" one. Can someone help with this? BeyonderHermes (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
