Low - Moderate - You may be looking for the Dire Wolverine from the SRD instead.
Note[edit]
This monster is balanced to fit in a high level of balance 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 characters of its CR.

Strategies and Tactics[edit]
A dire wolverine fights ferociously, gaining strength and attacks the more damaged they are.
If it feels like it will be killed soon, it will burrow underground and spend a couple minutes to let its fast healing restore it to half health. If its enemy is nearby, it will launch a new attack.
Treasure[edit]
A dire wolverine liver has an incredible healing rate that, when consumed, can imbue its healing on a creature. The creature gains the benefits of Lesser Vigor per piece of liver consumed (CL 1). A dire wolverine's liver has enough pieces for 15 uses.
A dire wolverine liver is valued at 750 gp on the open market (50 gp per piece).
