This behemoth avoids more civilized reaches of the world, preferring to dwell in remote wilderness locations. A dire bear is a rare and terrifying sight\u2014especially to those not used to normal bears.\r\n\r\nUnlike most bears, a dire bear is short-tempered and swift to anger when confronted with intruders in its territory. Like a grizzly, a dire bear attempts to subdue or kill with its claws. However, a dire bear is far more likely (and willing) to begin biting a grabbed foe.","tags":"Dire Bear, Cave Bear, Pathfinder 1e, CR 7, True Neutral, Large, Animal","templateId":"1198","blockId":"381029","isShared":"on"}
