Or a dire worm or a dire butterfly

Basically the term seems to be applied to some extinct, stronger variety of an animal based on the precedent of extinct, re-world dire animals.

dire wolf is a real (extinct) animal. reading, in D&D it sounds like it's meant to basically be that same animal. dire wolves are a bit bigger, and fair bit more massive than grey wolves.

I think generally, a "dire" will be somewhat, but not extremely, larger, tougher, and possibly smarter.

YEah, it's just a more "dangerous" version of the base animal.

Usually larger, stronger, sometimes faster.

In DnD the stats are higher, more max hp (hit dice) and the damage is usually a bit better as well.

I literally googled "what makes an animal dire" and the first result answered the question perfectly. Didn't even have to tap on the site, the preview fully answered the question.
