Is that a badass Tim Conway? First I thought it said Dire Dorf.

OK, how cool is an ability called "Gnaw"?

The first thing I noticed was the lack of spikes/barbd/jabby bits poking through its skin. I am so happy I may just cry.

I noticed the lack of spikes/boney plates too. I wonder if this means Dire critters are going to look normal, again.

I'm just happy that these are both uncommon minis, because I'll want a few of each. And yeah, it's definitely cool that the "dire" versions of a creature a just bigger, and don't have the funny spikes and etc that they had in 3rd edition. I can see what the designers were trying for with those, I just didn't like the results.

Maybe for a fiendish creature they can work, but as far as minis were concerned, they usually got represented as ugly spike-chunks. The Blessed Hunter's bonespurs did not look that bad, but a celestial lion really should not be spikey in the first place.

Thankfully those body barbs got bumped off in an 'accident'. A real shame

Armor spikes better watch their back too

Well, I guess all the effort I spent supporting 'adjectivenoun animal' was a waste

Ah, I love wolves. I think I need a good dozen of these at least.

I can imagine it already. The first PC gets ganged up on and, once prone, the wolves start trying to drag him back into the forest. Knowing my players, and seeing how the wolves look .... the PCs might let them.
