Combat:
Dire ravens fight much like their lesser kin, but are far more aggressive. Blinding Strike (Ex): A dire raven that scores a critical hit with it's bite attack permanently blinds their opponents. For the effects of blindness, see the DMG page 83. Wearing a helmet automatically protects against this attack. Disease Resistance (Ex): A dire raven gets a +4 racial bonus on saves against diseases.

Nasty, as well as being extremely lovely!

How about a dire monitor? Or a dire python? Maybe a dire bat? A dire snapping turtle would be interesting. You also can't forget the infamous and highly deadly .......................... dire squirrel!

Cut from a Dragon(Changed the flavor text a little bit to share it with you):
Squirrel: CR -; Diminutive Animal; HD 1/4 d8; hp 1; Init +3 (Dex); Spd 10 ft., climb 15 ft.; AC 17 (+4 size, +3 Dex); Atk none; SQ Scent; Face 1 ft. by 1 ft.; Reach 0 ft.; SV Fort +2, Ref +5, Will +1; Str 2, Dex 16, Con 11, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 4.
Skills: Climb +15, Hide +22, Move Silently +11, Listen +9. Squirrels gain +4 racial bonus to Climb, Hide, and Move Silently checks.
Squirrels are excellent climbers and jumpers with teeth strong enough to gnaw through half solid material such as soft wood, leather, or rope, given a few minutes.
With their dextrous paws they are able to pick up small objects but they can't walk away with them because they walk on all fours. Thier diet consists of fruits, nuts, and grains.
Squirel as a familiar: Master gains a +2 bonus to Reflex saves.
How about a carnivorous dire earth worm. Now that would be a strange sight!

In lieu using a giant lizard for a dire monitor, there is actually a dire monitor in The Creature Collection.
I wouldn't mind seeing a dire buffalo/bison. Dire armadillos would be cool, too! Hmmm, what else off the top of my head.....dire vultures, dire panther(that could be interchanged for leopard and mountain lion) dire jaguar which would be just slightly beefier than a dire panther, dire lynx, dire cheetah, dire jackal, dire hyeana, dire raccoon, dire opossum, dire porcupine, dire cobra, dire viper, dire piranna, dire barracuda, dire kangaroo, and least and probably the one with a slew of possible solutions, dire humans, which I'm think of as something along the lines of neanderthals.
Dire Cow... oh man, that's strange. Next victim is probably one of these:
Dire Fly (a Diminu... diminue... dimnua... di...(?) fly.)
Dire Dragon (well, that's far fetched...)
Dire Horse (Nightmare)
Dire Pig (a medium-sized piggy... mmm.... ham...)
Dire Chicken (a... small sized chicken... mmm... chicken...)
I'd better stop now, before anyone gets hurt by my idiotic ideas, which some people think they are great!
