Dire Animals?

I've met them already in BG1, but what are they really? What seperates them from normal animals except for being somewhat tougher? Magical or non-magical creatures?

"Dire animals are larger, tougher, meaner versions of normal animals. They tend to have a feral, prehistoric look."

They are still animals, not beast or magical.

Thanks pal!

I can't help but wonder what happened to the imagination at Bioware: both a Wolf and a Dire Wolf?! There weren't any more animals to choose from?

Like a dire squirrel? I must admit, the idea of a dire badger had me laughing!

Or how about a Dire Koala, moving at twice the speed of a normal Koala?

Larger, tougher and meaner than a normal budgie? Imagine his opening line: "I'm death come for you. Surrender and thy passage shall be quicker.". I get scared just by thinking of it...

@Xandax, just a thought....why not move the thread over to SYM? This has the potential to be rather fun.
