** Likewise, the D&D "frost worm" is identical to a wormlike monster fought by Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian in his original adventure novels -- specifically the short story "The Lair of the Ice Worm" by Creator/LSpragueDeCamp and Creator/LinCarter.

** The displacer beast (a catlike monster with tentacles sprouting out of its back) is based off of an alien called Coeurl from A.E. Van Vogt's short story ''Black Destroyer'' (later compiled into the novel ''Voyage of the Space Beagle'').

Perhaps ironically, the displacer beast is not included in the open game content.
