What! No Dire Raven or Dire Squirrel! I feel slighted!

Good work btw, but I think that the Non-dire Dire Animals (Megaloceros et. al.) should be in a seperate list called "Ancient Animals" or some such.

Also, you need to make a list of Dinosaurs.

Hang in there...I'm still diggin' through Homebrews.

Since Frostburn classified them as dire animals, I decided to include them. I'd definitely add them to a prehistoric animals thread as well, should one arise.

Agreed. All in due time.

Just posted the 3.5 stats of the Dire Raven, expect the Dire Squirrel this weekend.

Put the ancient animals in this thread and you kill two birds with one stone, metaphorically speaking of course.

Cool. Did I get all of yours now?

That's probably a good idea.

All I have posted so far...

That's probably a good idea.

Of course it is a good idea, all my ideas are good!

Just make sure they are in a seperate heading.

In 3.5 Beasts are considered animals, right?
