A. Jagged fangs

Explanation

The maw of the peryton is full of jagged fangs. This suggests that the peryton is a creature with a predatory nature, as jagged fangs are typically associated with carnivorous animals that use them to tear and rip apart their prey. Feathers or rough hair would not be expected to be found in the mouth of a creature, while sharp teeth alone could be found in a variety of animals, not necessarily indicating a predatory nature.
