     Displacer beast are identical in appearance to
panthers, except for the pair of tentacles that sprout out
from the fore shoulders.  Displacer are thought to come from
the Temporal and Pan-Probable Planes, which would explain
their natural displacement power, and indeed their numbers
seem most concentrated there, but it is argued that they are
not native to any plane, but were magickal creations from
long ago.  They have, however, spread throughout the known
multiverse, and are as common on those planes as panthers
are on ’rth.
     Displacer beasts differ from panthers in the respect
that they hunt in packs, and tend to be more social
creatures, resembling a lion pride.  Females do most of the
hunting, although the males are just as capable.  What is
also unusual is that the males have a strong tendency to
care for the young.  Displacer beast are not usually
hostile, unless threatened or very hungry.
     The main value of the displacer beast to the human
world is that their pelts make excellent material for items
to receive displacer-like powers, or other aspects of that
sort.  A cloak will go for 120,000 BUCs and up, unenchanted.
