Are there official Dire and Legendary Animal Templates out there somewhere?
Dire & Legendary Animal Templates
Generally +3 HD or double, whichever is greater for dire. Dire increases the size of the creature one step if it was medium or small, two sizes if diminutive or fine. Step up the stats appropriately for size change. Add 5-7 pts to various attributes. Dire animals can scale up another 100% in HD and another size category. Throw in a few pts of natural armor and sometime a speed increase.
Add about 13 HD for legendary status. Legendary get +19-25 attribute points which are distributed depending on the creature type. Legendary creatures can also scale up another 100% in total HD but do not change in size. Add 25% more speed and +5 AC from dex/natural armor.
There are no official templates because each animal is handled differently. Whatever the high stat was typically gets much higher. The raise in charisma seems random and has no real bearing on an animal anyway.

I'm quite sure I've heard about the dire template in this board:

You should ask them.

Thanks for the replies. I'll continue to look elsewhere as well as here on the boards.
