Displacer Beast

Description

A pack of these monsters always contains only full-grown beasts. The innate Psychic Invisibility and Project Thought abilities of the displacer beast are such that it always appears to be 1 meter (left, right, ahead, or behind) its actual position. Thus, these monsters always cause opponents to suffer a +1 Diff Mod on attack dice rolls. These fierce creatures hate all life, but they particularly hate blink dogs. In combat the displacer beast lashes out with its two tentacles, inflicting horrible wounds with the rough, horny edges of these appendages.

Description: This vaguely puma-like creature is bluish black, its tentacles are dead black, the horny edges of the tentacles are brownish yellow, and its eyes glow a hellish green.
