While looking through Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, I came across mention of the moon elf archdruid Wyllow, as well as her displacer beast animal companion. The displacer beast as an animal companion is what intrigued me, given that the last time I saw that capability was in 3rd edition (Eberron Campaign Setting, IIRC). It intrigued me, in part because I have a character concept that (while not druid or ranger) would be neat to have such a companion.
Of course, the fact that it's a monstrosity type makes that problematic. But I'm curious, given that 5e has now opened the door for NPCs to have such a companion: how would a PC obtain such a companion?
