data.base descriptions for new monsters

Browse Source 
Displacer beast and genetic engineer lacked data.base entries so
I've made a couple up from thin air.  I tried to look up "genetic
engineering" in _the_Concise_Dictionary_of_Biology_ (after seeing
that the quantum mechanic quote comes from _Concise_Dictionary_of_
_Physics_) but could only view the first sentence so don't know
whether it had anything more useful.  I also skipped the AD&D
Monster Manual for displacer beast except for remembering the
puma-like bit from previously checking it.  So regardless of any
old copyright issues in data.base, there shouldn't be any new ones.

displacer beast
This strange creature appears to be mutant form of puma (aka
cougar or mountain lion) which lives in underground settings
rather than outdoor wilderness. It is capable of exchanging
positions with people or creatures in its path and is not
fooled by displaced images of others.

genetic engineer
These very odd people have mastered the ability to insert gene
sequences from one organism into another, usually triggering
immediate mutations in the subject. Far from needing an
elaborate laboratory to accomplish such abominations, a mere
touch seems to be all that is necessary.
