Dire template?

[DungeonmasterCal]

I KNOW I've seen a template for creating dire animals somewhere...but I'm at work and will be here for the foreseeable future. I'm trying to help a friend via email set up his game for tonight, and he's frantic to know if there is such a thing.

There was one in the Tome of Horrors, and it has been updated to 3.5 in a web enhancement at http://www.necromancergames.com/prod_support.html. Scroll down to Tome of Horrors, where it is the second download.

yup. if i'm not mistaken, that template (or an earlier version of it) was on the Creature Catalog before the release of said book.
