Monster Files/Dire
From Elder Tale Online MUSH
Summary
Dire Beasts are, in essence, more dangerous versions of Beasts, including many that originally went extinct due to the initial Monster Invasion. Dire Beasts is a misnomer however, as the system purely identifies them as Monsters. It is purely for aesthetic reasons that Adventurers and People of the Land refer to them as such.
It’s not uncommon for Dire Beasts to carry mutations, such as Dire Equine having the Unicorn subtype, or the ‘Brood Queen’ amongst Dire Spiders.
Dire monsters are most compatible with Were Fangs.
