Displacer Beast

Displacer Beasts also known as Dirlagraun or Omlarcat are a species of Magical Felines that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: Worlds Clashing. They are an Evolution of the Iconic Black Panther that are native to the Feywilds and Plane of Shadows in the Realmscape but during the night they are known to come to the Material plane/Midgard during the Night when the moon is covered by the clouds. The Displacer Beasts are encountered in the Feywilds by Alfheim when she is going to search for the Ceryneian Hind to save it and one of them attacks her out of desperation.

## Biology

Displacer beasts long ago were Black Panthers which had found themselves in the Plane of Shadows through weaknesses in the Barriers set up by the christian god and mutated to be more adapt to the magical environment. The have six limbs which are bulky like tiger limbs but also have an Opposable thumb which allows them to manipulate objects. The Beast's body looks like they are constantly starving as their ribcage is visible through their black and blue skin. their ears are a bit longer in length like elf ears allowing them to hear longer distances. their whiskers are translucent and are a bit longer and whenever they growl they vibrate and send a sonar allowing them to recieve signals in the night. Coming out of their back from the shoulder pads are tentacles which have a diamond shaped tendril and their underside have teeth decorating it like a toothbrush. These are manipulated with Hydraulics and they can regenerate if cut off but it takes a lot of energy. They have an exact lifespan of 100 years and become Subadults at the age of 30. When a Displacer Beast female is ready to mate she will eat about 1,000 pounds of meat to make their emaciated appearance long gone for the future Kittens. when The Displacer Beast couple mate they seperate from the pride and mate in the fall and bore kittens in the Spring time. Displacer Beasts often have 5 kittens which are around the size of your average house cat. They are born blind and helpless and by the time they are big enough to eat meat the Displacer beast female is emaciated in appearance again. Displacer beast kittens are taught how to hunt when they are four months old which by then they are a bit larger. Displacer beasts have the unique ability to use magic to bend light to make it appear they are in a different position from their actual one which makes them immune to projectile attacks. a pride of displacer beasts consists of 15 members and one of them is the Pack Leader who is more intelligent than the others as well as a larger size. The Displacer beasts usually have a height of 3 meters and a length of 3.7 meters long but their pack leader can be up to 6.1 meters long.
