Description
The corrupted nature of this displacer beast makes it the ultimate apex predator of the Feywild. It prowls and hunts from the shadows waiting to pick off its prey. Tougher prey excites the beast as it loves a difficult hunt but if put into a tight spot the creature has no qualms with running away to survive. This creatures den is often adorned with skulls, hide, or other parts of unique creatures it has hunted.
