Displacer are thought to come from the Temporal and Pan-Probable Planes, which would explain their natural displacement power, and indeed their numbers seem most concentrated there, but it is argued that they are not native to any plane, but were magickal creations from long ago. They have, however, spread throughout the known multiverse, and are as common on those planes as panthers are on ’rth. Displacer beasts differ from panthers in the respect that they hunt in packs, and tend to be more social creatures, resembling a lion pride. Females do most of the hunting, although the males are just as capable. What is also unusual is that the males have a strong tendency to care for the young. Displacer beast are not usually hostile, unless threatened or very hungry. The main value of the displacer beast to the human world is that their pelts make excellent material for items to receive displacer-like powers, or other aspects of that sort. A cloak will go for 120,000 BUCs and up, unenchanted.
