Displacer Beast
In the action-packed trailer, we see Edgin and his fellow adventurers dodging a creature in the stadium maze. This fierce panther-esque creature is the Displacer Beast, capable of conjuring illusions to confuse and mislead its prey. Those who encounter a Displacer Beast, also known as a dirlagraun or omlarcat, heavily rely on combat skills to survive.

Also in the stadium, we see the group dive out of the way of a displacer beast right into the transparent gelatinous cube, one of the oldest monsters in D&D history. This cubed predator has been capturing adventurers in its acidic ooze since the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons in the 1970s.

Owlbear
Doric, a Tiefling druid, is a shapeshifter who often shifts into an Owlbear. While it is pretty evident from its name the two creatures it is created from, it’s more heavily a bear than an owl in composition and known in the Forgotten Realms as being pretty fearsome.
