The Monsters of Sin epitomize the very worst of our natures, and prey on others’ weaknesses. Designed for GMs, this first book in the Monsters of Sin series for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is devoted to Avarice: the insatiable lust for wealth. The monsters in this book are powerfully motivated by wealth, or they tempt player characters to make poor choices in the name of greed.
Monsters of Sin: Avarice includes:
The Hoard Golem, guardian of treasure, born from the paranoia of dragons.
The small, but often deadly Map Mimic—bane of dungeon dwellers!
The golden Midasites, fey creatures with an invaluable talent.
The embodiment of Avarice itself, a colossal outsider with gleaming armor and filthy fur.
Details on Avarice within the Midgard Campaign Setting, or any fantasy campaign.
Rules for incorporating Avarice into your NPCs and monsters.
Whether you’re running a Campaign of Sin, or just want to add a little greed to your game, Monsters of Sin: Avarice offers a wealth of possibilities!

Not to take away from this product, but for those interested, Rite's free Pathways series also has 4 of the deadly sins in template format. Seems like between the excellent creatures here and the ability to give any creatures aspects of the sins, you'd be pretty well off. Wrath is found here, Pride here, Gluttony here, and Envy here.
Sloth is a fine bet, though I think Pride in thinking we could hit a weekly deadline isn't out of the picture. :)
We've already got the Megatherium, how many more types of sloths do we need?

Giant ground sloth. Deadly poison sloth. Dire sloth. Giant pygmy sloth. Space sloth. Darklands sloth. Glacier sloth. Elvish war-sloth. Fey sloth. Armored sloth. Undead sloth. Bear-Sloth. The Highland Sloth of Auld Langsyne.
Is that all? Wait, no, there's also the High Germanic Sloth, the Purple Sloth, and the rare Cloudwall Mountain Sloth found north of Zobeck in the summer months when it comes down from its alpine ranges.
I think that covers it. Really, someone should get going on that the Slothonomicon.
A sloth soiree without inviting Slothulhu or Slothoggua?
You will all despair when they rise from their ... slothful slumber ... in S'loth'leth. Oh, no, it's happening ... their influence ... emanates from the depths. It's affecting our minds!

Well sure, I think the Sloth-demons and Sloth-gods deserve their own book! Absolutely!
(If only to keep them from rising from the depths.)
Reviewed here, on DTRPG and sent to GMS magazine. Wow! One of the rare occasions when KTFish's review is actually more critical than mine! O_O I get your points, though for me, the embodiment worked best among the creatures. :D To each his own and good to have you add a well-reasoned, valid opinion! Cheers!
Thanks for the influx of reviews, KTFish7 and Endzeitgeist. I'm especially happy to see the art is getting its due, because I feel spoiled by the quality of what Cory Trego-Erdner did with the cover and what Aaron J Riley did with the interior.
KTFish7, if you come up with a good miniature for the horde golem, let me know. Before I originally ran it, I sent a D&D Mini earth elemental to a trophy maker to get chromed. Unfortunately, the chroming process melted the miniature.

You forgot "baby sloth swarm," where the PCs save vs. distraction or be incapacitated (just standing there saying "awwwww" or "SQUEEEEEE!")
If you need a baby sloth swarm statted up, I'm sure that SupaStah! Badger can do it. :)

Supastah! Badger can do ANYthing.
Also, thanks for the reviews, KTFish7 and Endzeit!
