If a Dire Enemy Card is drawn, it is resolved the same as a “Regular” Enemy Card with the following exceptions:

• Dire Enemies only attack 1 Outer Region. For example, the Harpy only attacks the Mountains Region.

• If a Defender in the Dire Enemy’s Region chooses to Defend against it, they MUST lose 2 to Defend instead of 1.

• If the Dire Enemy is NOT Defended against, it raises 1 in the Region attacked and then also triggers an effect listed on the card. For example, the Harpy’s effect is “All Outer Regions at Level 0 must increase to 1 .”
