Its long tongue snakes into the opening and slurps out swarms of ants. \n'b' Equipped with keen instincts, sharp claws, and keratinous scales that would make a dwarven armorer envious, dire pangolins are deadly. \n'b'  Fierce Tree Dwellers . Too big to burrow effectively, dire pangolins live in temperate forests and warm plains, resting in the upper boughs of trees at night. Unlike their small cousins, dire pangolins are fierce when fought. Some docile denizens of the forests and plains develop symbiotic relationships with dire pangolins, relying on their bulk and demeanor for protection, in exchange for  help  finding ant nests or scouting out predators. \n'b'  Insectivores . Dire pangolins subsist entirely on insects and take great delight when encountering swarms of ants, beetles, termites, and centipedes. Pangolins have adapted a  resistance  to most poisons as a result of their choice of prey. Because of their  size , dire pangolins are especially equipped to prey upon giant insects, though they adjust their hunting tactics to ambush from trees. Dire pangolins are particularly aggressive toward giant ants, though encounters between them often end in stalemates.'
