These fierce animals prey on anythingthat they can bring down. Usual victims are deer, dire rats, badgers, mooses, black bears, and even humanoids. Though usually solitary, these creatures sometimes go into feeding frenzies. This is when they are most dangerous. Combat: Dire shrews are not particularly strong creatures, but are quite venomous. When their poison fails them, dire shrews must rely on their sharp claws and powerful teeth to tear the vitim to shreds.Poison(Ex): Bite; Fortitude save(DC 16); Any creature that fails the save takes 1d6 temporary strength damage, 1d8 temporary dexterity damage, and 1d6 temporary constitution damage. Secondary damage is the same.</blockquote>
