"{@creature Displacer beast||Displacer beasts} are always disturbing to deal with. Those double tails with otherworldly suckers on the ends. Those six pairs of legs that leave behind only the faintest of marks to track. The way they are never, ever, where you think they're going to be! It's enough to make any {@class ranger} think about hanging up their bow for good.",
"They are beautiful, though, with the elegant grace of their silent prowl and the way their glossy fur catches the light rippling through the leaves. Not to mention their kittens! You've never seen anything quite as cute as two displacer beast cubs playing in fresh-fallen snow, blinking around and creating adorable duplicates with every pounce. This pattern captures that mischievous side in its full glory, from their lively expression to the frisky flick of their front paws."

Using pliers, curl the wire into a spiral and bend the spiral to flatten against the fabric inside the Body.
