4) Blink Dog
If your campaigns have been rife with Blink Dogs, please forgive, but I have never heard of these guys before perusing the Manual. As you can see, they’re Lawful Good Boys who can teleport, which makes me suspect they were created as a counter to Displacer Beasts, which are puma-like cats (Gygax’s descriptiojn, not mine) who constantly project their image three feet away from where they really are. But those are pumas, and Blink Dogs sound like they’re Golden Retrievers or something. Complicating the matter further is whatever the accompanying illustration is of, it is definitely not a dog.
