Go beyond goblins with an army of fantasy’s most fearsome foes! Bestiary 2 presents hundreds of different creatures for use in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Within this collection of creatures you’ll find undead dragons and mischievous gremlins, shrieking banshees and unstoppable titans, the infamous jabberwock, and so much more! Yet not all these monsters need to be foes, as new breeds of otherworldly guardians, living shadows, and vampires all might take up adventure’s call. In addition, new rules for customizing and advancing monsters and an expanded glossary of creature abilities ensure that you’ll be prepared to challenge your heroes wherever adventure takes them!

Here's our third hardcover Pathfinder RPG book for the year! The first Bestiary was an excellent book, but due to spacial limitations it left us hungry for more. Well here's our solution!
Kytons weren't devils when originally introduced (or at least they weren't in 2e Planescape's Planes of Law box set, I dunno if they ever were around before that.) The change just returns them to the status they held before, denizens of Hell but not true devils.

Ah ok, I used to ignore Planescape back then, because I found the original box set offensive in its tone and embarrassing in trying to be cool with its awful "cant" and DiTerlizzi art.

Not all of us can afford to buy every Pathfinder product. If Paizo put out bi-yearly monstrous compendiums I'd do flips.
You could always pull back your Blu-Ray addiction. ;)
I'm pretty much at where I want to be with it now. And anyway, as not having a gaming group, I have no need to collect every issue of every adventure path.

Actually, while there certainly ARE kytons in Hell... their main plane is the plane of Shadow in Golarion. But yeah... the weren't devils in 2nd edition when they were initially created, and even in 3rd edition, even though they were CALLED "chain devils," just look at their stats. They're not BUILT like devils. They don't have any devil traits. No spell-like abilities. They're like retrievers and bebiliths (two others who we moved out into their own entries).

The official Bestiary 2 announcement, very, very NICE!
I am glad that Wayne Reynolds is doing the cover art for this one as well.
(Since there wasn't a Bestiary 1 promo poster, any chance for a Bestiary 2 promo poster?) Pretty Please...?
BTW James... very glad that hippogriffs were mentioned, as well as proteans, and the aeons too. (After hearing talk of the True Neutral outsiders for a while, its nice to have a name, and knowing we'll have much more in about 8 months).
That fellow? A sea life curator? Just use stats for an NPC Expert with Knowledge (Nature - sea life), and use the page-space for something more useful, such as a giant sea crab maybe?
