" Mystra , goddess of magic , said " Fierce as a wolf have you been in your persecution of the innocent , so I curse you with the teeth of the wolf . " Torm , god of duty , said " Foolish as a stag in rut have you been as you shunned what is true and good , so I curse you all to bear the head and horns of the stag . " Ilmater , god of suffering , said " You have tormented and torn heart and soul from your victims , so I curse you with unnatural appetites , so that you may only live and prosper after devouring the hearts of your prey . " Finally , Mielikki , goddess of the forest , said " While you acted as beasts , your heart contained evil which only humans can know . I curse you to always cast the shadow of the humans you once were , to always remind you of your terrible deeds and of the souls that you have lost . " Thus the Khala were transformed into the vicious monsters known as peryton s , with all those traits . This tale was unsupported by fact , but it did explain all their unusual human traits .
