In the Paizo blog, Mr. Wertz takes a shot of what at first appears to be the upcoming MM for the Pathfinder RPG. However, he writes, Hint: it's not a "beastiary".

So, what do you think it is?

Since the creature is a pixie, maybe a big book of fae?

It's got a PSEUDODRAGON (glee!) on the facing page. It might be the "bestiary" as opposed to the "beastiary".

It's not a "beastiary". It's a "bestiary".

EDIT: 46 seconds too late. Ninja'd by Taig.

It's not a "beastiary". It's a "bestiary".

So you're thinking Wertz is playing with words, that the shot is, in fact, the upcoming Pathfinder Bestiary?

I'm pretty sure.

Yes.

Yes.

Seconded.

At Paizocon banquet there was a Beastiary V bestiary conflict. Much blood was shed

These could be part of a book of familiars or PC pets. Maybe even a chapter that that got cut from the the book, but could be a Web enhancement.

Pretty big book of familiars if the pseudodragon is on page "229".

Right, I saw the 229 - so then I though perhaps this was a cut chapter from an early draft of the game...

Subsequent blogs seem to indicate it is a preview copy of the bestiary, and that that was a pun on the habit some people have of spelling the word wrong... :D

Yes, it was a full preview of the Bestiary. Looks awesome! Wish I could have given it a closer look but everyone wanted some time with it.

QUICK YODA BEFORE THEY SILENCE YOU:

Was the art used for the marilith the badass example shown in

Sounds good. When does that bestiary go on sale again?

There was a lot of great art in the book and I don't recall specifics. Nor do I remember if the marilith was one of the pages I got to glance at before it moved into someone else's hands.

Yes, some people insist on mispronouncing it "beastiary". I think that's beastly.

Blast! Foiled!

"Bess" or "Beess" is acceptable, it's the hard-t that's abominable.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-iary!

I fawned over the Bestiary when it was at the preview party. It's purty. Erik asked us to keep it Dorito-free.

Froghemoth is in there. The art is beautiful to behold.

Mmmm...froghemoth.

Er, I meant doritos...DORITIOS!

Whaaat ? There are no Doritos in the Bestiary ?

I got a look at it too. (I'm in a picture drooling over it.) It was truly a work of art. Not quite as thick as the RPG book, but very, very thick.

Would have love to read threw the back of the book as it had details on augmenting monsters and the like.

Everyone was going on about the artwork. The bar is set high on this one. This is going to be really liked.

Huh ... I thought it was due for September?

I thought September, too. But then again, beans are often a bit hazy about dates.

Be that as it may, I don't suppose anyone got a look at the Pathfinder rendering of the shoggoth? My H.P. Lovecraft fanaticism was stirred up by mention of a Lovecraftian horror in the Bestiary ....

The shoggoth is in J3's Crucible of Chaos as well.

We don't have a firm delivery date yet. May be late Sept or early Oct.
