Description
Displacer beasts were large cat-like creatures, sometimes described as panther or puma-like with six legs and a pair of 5 feet (1.5 meters) long tentacles sprouting from their shoulders. The tentacles ended in pads of sharp horny edges, brownish yellow in color. They were covered in a pelt of blue-black fur. They were usually about 9 feet (2.7 meters) long and weighed as much as 500 pounds (230 kilograms), but the occasional mutant could be twice this size. Female displacer beast were generally smaller in size, from 8 feet (2.4 meters) to 9 feet (2.7 meters) in length and weighing 450 pounds (200 kilograms). It was believed that displacers could live up to a hundred years.
A bigger and stronger variety known as displacer beast pack lord existed in the Realms. These enormous ebony cats were larger than their kin. These pack lords were a mutation of a regular displacer beast with slightly higher intelligence, on par with a human, allowing them to lead other displacer beasts.
