Enemy Distraction

Displacer Beast Shape is an ideal ability to distract opponents in battle, as your Displacer Beast transformation grants you abilities such as Illusory Copy and Displace.

Displacer Beast Shape helps you select a target and teleport the both of you to a nearby location. As you teleport, a spectral copy of yourself will be left behind to fool enemies in combat.

Unleash Displacer Beast Hell

Displacer Beast Shape allows your character to use Tentacle Whip, an attack that deals both Bludgeoning and Piercing damage unleashed through the signature tentacles of the Displacer Beast.
