Hello!
1.If I'd want to set up a conflict between dangerous animals/beasts (akin to dinosuars, smilodons, bengal tigers, dragons, crocs, etc) & the PCs, would you recommend building the animals like Main/Named Characters (5 stress boxes, depending on the beasties) or as minions of Average, Fair & Good quality?
2.Should critters possess stunts?
Thanks

Lots of animals at one time, I'd probably reach for the minion rules for all but one or two of them.
For building a small number of formidable beast opponents, treating them just like characters is the way to go.
(That said, in Spirit of the Season, there's a villain who has several animals as companions -- also worth thinking about.)
