# Displacer Beast >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] *This creature looks like an emaciated panther, with blue-black fur, six legs, and a body that is nothing but muscle and bone. A pair of tentacles sprout from its shoulders and end in horny-ridged pads.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Displacer Beast</div> <div class="CR">CR 4 (1,200 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Monster Manual pg. 66</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> LE Large Magical Beast **Init** +2 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; **Perception** +9 #### defense **AC** 17, 12 touch, 14 flat-footed (+2 Dex, +1 dodge, +5 natural, -1 size) **hp** 51 (6d10+18) **Fort** +8, **Refl** +7, **Will** +3 **Feint** 17, **Demoralize** 17 #### offense **Speed** 40 ft. **Melee** 2 tentacles +9 (1d6+4), bite +9 (1d8+4) **Space** 10 ft., **Reach** 5 ft.

Displacer beasts favor small game but will eat anything they can catch. They regard all other creatures as prey and tend to attack anything they meet. They have a deep-seated hatred of blink dogs, and the two attack each other ruthlessly when their paths cross. A displacer beast is the size of a Bengal tiger, about 9 feet long and weighing about 500 pounds.
