Dire

== Biology ==
Dire animals are larger, tougher and often more aggressive compared to their regular sized counterparts. Their size will vary from beast to beast, but in most cases, they will be able to grow as large or larger than a horse. 
Dire animals can be found anywhere in the world, as long as their environment is similar if not the same as their regular counterpart's.
Dire animals tend to live longer than their regular counterparts and thus breed more. However not all of their offspring will be Dire unless they mate with another Dire animal of their species. This is more common among Dire wolves, bears and boars.
== Mannerisms ==
Dire animals are often more territorial and aggressive toward other creatures and people. Because of this, any animal that is a pack animal will often have a Dire animal as pack leader.
Sometimes Dire animals will display monogamy. However, this has only been seen among red Dire wolves that live in Green Fall.
When a Dire animal is tamed by someone (Whether it be by raising from young or some other emotional bond), they are more protective and obedient toward their carer, despite their overall dominant nature in the wild. (Should a Druid mark a Dire animal, they are capable of limited, but intelligent speech.)
== Notes ==
The Dire classification can only be applied to common animals and beasts, such as Bears, Wolves, Boars, etc.
