He means the four ponies of the apocalypse.

They were selling them at GenCon this year. Famine was my favorite, obviously.

I tried to buy the original art, but alas it wasn't for sale.

I have been very pleased with James Jacobs and the rest of Paizo with bestiary 1 and 2.

I thought Bestiary 2 was the best monster manual I have ever seen for any game.

I have a preference for monsters from mythology, Wonderland, and Oz. So far it seems the Paizo team is reading my mind.

Yeah, leprechauns are in there. The treasure type is totally wrong, though. Standard? C'mon, no one believes that!

Leprechauns are good at money laundering. How else would they report that they only have "standard" treasure!!

I can't help you with Oz (though it might have informed a few of the fey subconsciously), but the other two sure deliver in the book. :)

We have the scarecrow and the cowerdly lion would be easy just take a lion and awaken it or use Fey animal template. But as for the tinman well we will just have to wait for a medium size "tin golem" or something similar but with human level int.

In the Oz novels, the tin man was like a magical cyborg. The witch had enchanted him to attack himself and he had to replace his missing body parts with tin replicas.

What fey animal template? Would awaken make him anthropomorphic at the same time?

Perhaps if you used the anthropomorphic animal spell from UM along with permanence.

So use the half-construct subtype from ARG?

It raises their INT to 3 but keeps them as the animal type. You would have to do some shenanigans with Time Stop or the like to get both Awaken and Anthropomorphic.

At least as far I can tell.

ARG?

I'm assuming the ARG reference means the Advanced Race Guide.

The Fey animal template is in the Land of the kings book and it adds a +10 bonus to int among other stats boost(+4dex +2wis, +4cha). It also changes the animals type to Fey, DR/cold iron, SR, and some spell powers, and also a death curse

The Catfolk might make a good Cowardly lion as well.

The Half-construct template would work for the Tinman as well.

I know there won't be as many outsiders in this one probably, but will we have a few more of my favorites? I'm wondering if there will be more angels, archons, proteans and inevitables? Especially the last two, I love the more law and chaos stuff than the good and evil. More giants, too maybe? And fey I'm sure.

There'll be some, but not all. Certainly more giants and fey though.

So glad for more fey! I was hoping for some mid-higher level ones. Here's hoping!

Please tell me James we're gonna have King Kong's species of Gargantuan Ape listed in this Bestiary?

nope; not this time. Maybe later.

Nutbunnies. Oh well. You roll the dice you takes your chances right? ^_~

King King would probably fit in the same future book as Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Mecha-Godzilla.

:)

Step 10) Lose profits as MGM sues your sorry behind.

All L. Frank Baum Oz books are public domain. Chomp on that, MGM!

I hope there will be more types of Nagas(other then water), Lamia, Rakshasa, and Hags(other then Annis)

I hope for the remaining three types of Sphinxes but if only one new one may it be Andro.

Toho's version of King Kong (which stood an impressive 46 meters high) would definitely qualify yes but I was referring to the old black and white movie King Kong actually (which was only Gargantuan sized).

I'm not sure MGM can afford lawyers these days anyway...

Extra! Extra! Creative Developer gives the okay to flood game with anthromorphic, singing lions! MGM is powerless to retaliate!

Just make certain you only use things mentioned in the books, not stuff invented for the movies.

Hey, James, are we going to see more Agathions in this bestiary?

Azata could use a boost too I think. That one high CR fire azata doesn't seem at all that threatening when you have some sort of resistance or immunity to fire.

This is way too awesome!

Bandersnatch? Tell me there will be raths, borogoves, toves and jub-jub birds too!

Doesn'T have to be all of them, but that will certainly help me kick off my Alice in Wonderland themed campaign.

I agree Azatas, Proteons, Agathions, and Archons need a boost. I would like some weaker types of Angels as well.

I am happy about the Bandersnatch and would love the Jubjub bird.

Nutbunnie

Special Attacks nut crunch, double nut crunch

Ok found the Nephilim in one of the APs, there interesting.

Doen't remeber the Dybbuks though.

Every time I hear "nutbunnies" I think of the show Freakazoid.

I would like some high CR(14+) Fey, Monstrous humaniods, and Elemtentals.

So the PDF is available on the 21st of December and we're in November now. What's the chance of us getting a table of contents preview on the blog?

We will more than likely have to wait till the end of this month or the begining of december before we get a table of contents. But hopefully I am wrong and we get it sooner.

I wish we got a poster showing all the monsters like they did for the Beastairy 2 but I would settle for a list of all the monsters anyday.

Okay so I have pre-ordered my copy from Amazon (it was the only way to talk my wife into it) but Amazon says it will not ship until January 21st. I know you guys have no control over when Amazon ships but I sure hope it is sooner than that since I am moving on January 6th and I would hate to have to wait even longer for it.

I can't wait to find out what is in this book, I hope they release a complete list soon, the wait is killing me.

Pretty soon it'll be what's actually in the book that's killing you.

I wouldn't call a month and about 2 weeks away "pretty soon".

Scanned through the whole board and didn't see this asked, but it may have been and if so, I'm sorry. This is now the third Bestiary, and still no word on one of the Iconic critters from every edition of "The World's Most Famous RPG" (Save for 0th Ed., you know the red box.). Am I the only player with an irrational fondness for the Mind Flayers and their associated ceremorphic nasties. We got the Neothelid in Bestiary 1, and the Neh-Thaggua (Brain-Collector, the 0th Ed. Analogue) in Bestiary 2, but no baseline, ordinary, "I'm gonna Mind Blast you lesser creatures and Eat Your Brains," Mind Flayer.

The mind flayer is intellectual property of Wizards of the Coast, which means we can't use it in any of our official material.

Well that stinks. Oh well, c'est la vie. I always thought it was solely the term 'Illithid' that was actually WoTC IP, since Mind Flayer is an old term for a mental de-programmer (i. e. someone who broke people free from cult brain-washing and that sort of thing), I'd always assumed Gygax used the name as a dig at all the people trying to link D & D with Satanism in it's early days. As I said, Oh well. It's not especially hard to convert from 3.5 to Pathfinder in any case, I am just especially lazy.

Also the Beholder, Displacer Beast, Githyanki, and Githzeri are intellectual properties as well.

Is the Ravid an intellectual property also?

It is not, but we haven't converted it to Pathfinder in any of our Bestiaries to date.

I've looked over the thread but can't seem to find an answer to this question.

Does anyone know what the dead knight on the cover is? Could it possibly, somehow, in the name of Lunitari, be a Death Knight?

That, my friend, is a grave knight.

While iconic creatures, I can't say that I'm too sorry to lose any of those monsters to Wizards with the exception of the Mind Flayers. Beholders lost their magic for me after some writer tried very hard to justify the beholder's anatomy (I think Mr. Jacobs might have been part of that project, but I don't remember). It's one of those things that should have just been left to, "It's magic!" or "A wizard makes it work!" instead of trying to justify it all out.

Oh well, I just replaced Mind Flayers with Star Spawn of Cthulhu in my game. Works much better thematically for me and my purposes anyway ... >: ).

One should be careful about what is put into the back of a book. I was just looking at the PDF for the recent Pathfinder Adventure Path and there is an advertisement in the back that states the Bestiary 3 is "Available Now!"

I was lied to!

*goes into the corner and cries*

*comes back*

For your Oscar consideration...

In all seriousness, I am looking forward to the Bestiary 3. I love more monsters.

Also the Beholder, Displacer Beast, Githyanki, and Githzeri are intellectual properties as well.

Is the Ravid an intellectual property also?

Yeah; the Ravid's protected by an almost equally powerful force as Intellectual Property law... many of us at Paizo kinda think it's a silly looking and just plain silly monster. Even before Trogdor came along.

I really like the Ravid. It was one the first monsters I used when I first DMed in 3.0.

Now the only creature that I wish was able to be in Pathfinder is the Displacer beast.

I always thought that the Githyanki and Githzeri were among the lamest races ever created for D@D.

I never liked Mindflares.

The Beholder I liked but I don't wish for them to be in Pathfinder.
