I think this is a Black Panther, very close to an old D&D Displacer Beast (I remember something about 'Tentacles' being mentioned? I could be wrong). > ISSOLA -- going by the cover of the book, it looks like a Heron-like bird. Crane (some people say Stork) > TSALMOTH -- no idea. I always pictured this as a Sloth or something like that...no idea why > VALLISTA -- "Rends and then rebuilds" might indicate something like a > beaver. > JHEREG -- Mix between a dragon and a vulture. > IORICH -- no idea. I think this was also a flying/avian creature, but I might be wrong. > CHREOTHA -- no idea. They spit "webbing", but are (I think) dog sized land creatures. > YENDI -- some sort of snake. > ORCA -- probably the same as earth, but maybe not.
