{{for|the monster in other variants|Displacer beast (disambiguation)}}
A '''displacer beast''', {{monsym|displacer beast}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. The displacer beast is a large and quadrupedal [[feline]] [[animal]] that is [[carnivorous]] and can be seen via infravision like other felines. A displacer beast naturally has the [[displacement]] property: A [[hero]] that attacks a displacer beast (including by [[force-fighting]]) has a {{frac|2}} chance of "displacing" them instead, moving the hero into that square and relocating the displacer beast to a nearby square.{{refsrc|mon.c|1469|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}} This will not occur if the displacer beast cannot be relocated to a valid position, or else if it is currently helpless, eating or trapped. [[Tame]] displacer beasts may turn [[traitor]].

Displacer beasts have two [[claw attack]]s and a [[bite attack]].

==Generation==
Randomly-generated displacer beasts are always created hostile.

==Strategy==
Displacer beasts can pose a real problem in combat: in addition to their intrinsic displacement rendering around half your melee attacks harmless, they also have a very low -10 AC and high HP, and can do quite a bit of damage. Luckily, they are not fast, and a player with [[speed]] should be able to outrun them. This is particularly advisable if there are other hostile monsters around, since missed attacks leave you open to retaliation from them and the displacer beast itself. Amusingly, you can displace a displacer beast into water or lava, killing it instantly.

==History==
The displacer beast first appears in [[SLASH 6]].
