I'm trying to convert a specific room in a module to Pathfinder. It features a displacer beast, with mirror image cast on it, in a room full of mirrors. Entirely separately from the question of the potential frustration in hitting this thing... there is no displacer beast in the Pathfinder system. I've looked at the Coeurl that was previously published, but while they have the form of a displacer beast, they have the abilities of a rust monster, which aren't helpful here.
I can do a straight up conversion using the conversion guide, and that's what I'll probably end up with, but I wanted to ask first if anyone had suggestions for other displacement-type monsters that I could replace it with. Any suggestions?

Probably not what you're looking for, as it's no closer a Pathfinder creature than the one you're replacing, you'd still need to do conversion and it doesn't fill the same "displacer effect in a room full of mirrors" role. It's proprietary WotC and non-OGL.
However, having said all that, I couldn't help by be reminded of the Gravbeast published by WotC in it's Monster Mayhem column. Being a member of the six-legged magical predatory feline family, it uses it's environment to good effect, providing a freaky memorable encounter, and could be a step on the road to recovery for those suffering separation anxiety for the displacer beast.
I really like how it isn't just another purple tentacled panther, but instead resembles a bengal tiger built "lower and heavier" giving a hint as to it's gravity-altering nature.
It's also living proof there may be other six-legged magical predatory felines out there with their own unique effects, providing another sample on which to base your own creation.
