Dire

Information
Dire enemies are typically the size of a Human or larger. They manage their associated spawnlings and will produce large crowds of them for backup during combat. Dire-Enemies do not usually flock in large groups, however a few of them are smaller than the rest, and while they are not that much weaker, they like to congregate in much larger groups.

Strategies
Dire-Enemies will attempt to distract you with spawnlings however it is them who pose the real threat. When encountered alongside a group of spawnlings, the Dire-Enemy's larger size makes them easier to attack first, just mitigate the spawnling damage through crowd control and focus your attacks on the Dire-Enemy.
