This monster is balanced to fit in a rogue level game. I have taken the liberty of '''not''' using the standard D&D rules for determining various statistics for this monster. As a result, it may seem a bit stronger (or weaker) than some SRD monsters of the same CR and that is fine. I think it will pose an appropriate challenge for rogue-level characters of its CR.

SRD Rewrites

Ones that aren't silly, but should be made

Fun(ny) Ones

Random Thoughts

  • The whole "animal" type in D&D is generally pretty lame. Animals take the role of just being fighters with little to no special abilities.
  • Although I like the 4e merging of magical beast and animal into the same type, I'd rather not make my dire animals magical beasts. Instead, I'd like to make them animals with magical-ish abilities.
  • For the most part they will just be really savage versions of an actual animal, but I'm going to take the definition of "dire" to mean animals touched by the supernatural. They are still a species of their own and are still animals, but they have some sort of supernatural lineage.
  • As a result, I can make a bloodthristy hummingbird or a snail that leaves a trail of bubbling acid. Stuff that isn't really "realistic" for an animal and probably should be a magical beast, but at least adds some interesting foes to the animal category of monsters.
  • Summoning these monsters and stuff won't be compatible. I want to have the CR scale such that there are dire animals at practically any level of play to fight.

Note

You may be looking for the Dire Wolf from the SRD instead.

This monster is balanced to fit in a rogue level game. I have taken the liberty of not using the standard D&D rules for determining various statistics for this monster. As a result, it may seem a bit stronger (or weaker) than some SRD monsters of the same CR and that is fine. I think it will pose an appropriate challenge for rogue-level characters of its CR.
