    A dire wolf stands nearly as tall as a horse and hunts prey that ordinary wolves avoid. Its pack uses ravines, frozen streams and fallen timber to separate the slowest creature from the rest.

    Special Attack

    Crushing Bite: piercing, melee 5 ft, +4 to hit, 2d8+4. On a hit the target makes a Tough save or is held in the wolf's jaws and moves with it. The hold ends when the wolf takes 10 damage in one round or the target wins a Strength Chance Roll.

    Special Defense

    Ancient Pack: while another dire wolf is within 20 ft, it has +2 Mind and cannot be frightened. Fire across its path or the death of its pack leader forces a Mind save or a fighting withdrawal.
