James Jacobs has confirmed there will be new monsters in this (I think he said 70%, but don't quote me on that).
Well that sounds better, I didn't want a repeat of the mythic book's lack luster bestiary.
Still it's only 40 monsters, could be close to 400...
I wonder if we will get any creatures from Castrovel, Vudra, The Darklands, etc.
Very nice!!!!!! Me piache molto.

Maybe we'll get an Adventure Path in 2016 based in Golarion's solar system focusing on preventing an apocalyptic invasion from the "Dominion of the Black"? I certainly wouldn't mind some awesome adventures on Castrovel and other delightfully dangerous and exotic places such as that. However, if you wonderful people at Paizo Publishing do give us a Dark Tapestry / Dominion of the Black themed Adventure Path though then it NEEDS to have a Barbarella or Vampirella NPC / Ally in it (preferably both ^_^)! :D
I am really interested to find out what are all the monsters in this book.

Hey Mark, remind me: If we ever do another Bestiary (don't know why we would, but if), lets look into doing PF-branded handkerchiefs at the same time.
So froth. Much foam.

You favorited alot of my rather rude posts, i'm starting to imagen Bestiary 5 will be out this year anyway against my low expectations, and you can laugh into my face for my whining for absolutely nothing. :-p (or this is just a hopeful last thought)
Or you also don't like the NPC Codex, as you are also on the side of monsters and horrors.
Or it's the NPC Codex 2 that will be released, and you can't wait to see my reaction. :-p
Or you are currently working on the DEVIL LORDS for Bestiary 5, and bestiary 5 gets a Januari release.
So many possibilities, so little time.
So will this one say what part of Golarion each monster is found like the Inner Sea Bestiary did?

If there's room for such information, yes. But some of these monsters aren't specific to a region. Rather, they can exist anywhere, but their existence is generally occluded from public knowledge, hence their inclusion in the "occult" bestiary. Some are definitely from one place in particular, but most can fit in occult campaigns set in a variety of places.

::raised eyebrow followed by quiet applause::
How easy will it be to use monsters from the Occult Bestiary without having access to Occult Adventures?

Don't forget that the Occult Adventures rules will certainly be made available for free on the PRD website, probably as well as on third party sites, such as the Archives of Nethys or d20pfsrd.com

So if I understand correctly, this book (besides being a tie-in to Occult Adventures and Psychic Magic) is about the monsters that people either don't believe exist, or are unaware of entirely? And that most people, even adventurers, would react to with panic, terror, or bewilderment if they encountered them?
Now i'm so much more looking foreward to this book!
Now I know the Bestiary 5 is safe, this book is a very nice extra treat!
I hope they do any soft cover bestiary next year when we will not get a hardcover bestiary. Please be a distant worlds one or one focused on a area of Goarion that is not the Inner Sea.
I'd like to see a missing-mythology-monsters-only small bestiary next year, with world-over mythology monsters that don't appear in Bestiary 5 getting some love. 50 0f them would be lovely.
I'm not really a fan of inner sea bestiary, because of the unique creatures, the robots and the many too-much golems. There were only 10 creatures I used and liked in the last one.

I like the soft cover bestiaries, I really do. But what I really would like to see in the line for monsters is a couple more of the Revisited books taking 10 creatures related in some way and detailing them out to six pages each. We haven't had one for a couple of years now I'm starting to go through withdrawal. The last one was Demons Revisited, and that was well over a year ago. Even doing a Sequel to a prior one would be good. A Mythic Monsters Revisited 2, Mystery Monsters Revisited 2, or A Dragons Revisited 2 (particularly considering how scanty the information on the dragons is in Bestiaries 2 - 4 beyond the stat block) would be so nice. I know there are Dragons Unleashed and Undead Unleashed as well, but it's just not the same.
That said, I REALLY can't wait for both this and Bestiary 5, since I love monsters so much. [The six-year old in me is still very strong ;) ]
WHAT!?! Revisited is so awesome, and I really miss it :-(

Monsters, Dinosaurs, mythology and such things aren't only for little kids! :-p

According to Paizo staff, the Revisited line hasn't been a very good seller. As a result, the line is effectively on indefinite hiatus.
If I'm misrepresenting the staff here, hopefully they'll correct me. Ideally in the form of a Devils Revisited announcement. ^_^
Yeah, seriously, if that's true, then BOOOOOO! I'm another big fan of the Revisited line, and we really kind of need a Devils Revisited for the next two APs (including specific half-devil adjustments.)
Also a book on Qlippoth, but that's another topic for another thread...

I was hoping for a Devils Revisited book, so this rumor/news makes me a *very* sad gamer. :(

There is no indication yet whether 2016 will bring a hardcover bestiary or not. That will probably be announced at PaizoCon 2016.

well a hardcover bestiary would appear in the fall 2016 slot, so that is too far out to announce.
although we are getting one this fall.
I am sure that since we got a hardcover bestiary this year that we will not get one next year. I could be wrong and if so then...YEAH! But more then likely it will be something else.

I could certainly go for another NPC codex. I need me some ready made alchemists.
|
NPC codex is easily the most useful book in the Pathfinder RPG library, besides the Bestiaries.
It might not be sexy, but damn it does a great job of putting stats together for me so I can quickly swap out class features for my own NPCs.
NPC CODEX 5EVA!
UP WITH THE ADVANCED NPC CODEX!
UP WITH THE OCCULT NPC CODEX!

Actually, I wouldn't mind another round of NPCs for the Core classes as well. There's only one 7th-level fighter in the NPC Codex we have; if that's not the fighter you need, what do you do?
Another NPC Codex - or just part of one, a Minion Codex (1st-10th) - would be all right by me. ^_^
I wouldn't mind if we never seen another NPC codex again, well wouldn't mind one in the same year as Monster Codex or Bestiary 18, but i'm not a fan of the core races, rather see Monster Codex for the more bizarre races.
If they released a Bestiary every day, I would still buy them, until I was broke, then I probably would steal them. :-p

It's one of the few hardcovers that I didn't get because it was of no use to me. I found the Monster Codex book to be more useful but still not as cool as a bestiary. I am curious what will be next year, NPC Codex 2, Monster Codex 2, or something else.
I hope at least one 0HD race makes it into this book.
So when will the art and product description get updated for this one?
Whenever the cover art, product blurb, and whatever else needs to be finalized are ready, I reckon. I don't recall Paizo ever giving a specific date for these things.
They usually update it about month before release, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Final product image and description are up!
New races!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Variant Duergar? I can see variant Samsaran.
Yothian Elders and Liavaran Dreamers sound interesting.
I am happy about new races, well the ones that are actually new not variants.
Tychilarius is this name supposed to be a joke because it sounds like Tai-Chi larius:(
Aboleth Omnipaths and Neothilid Overlords might be interesting.
Psychic vampires sound interesting.
Dream based Azatas, sounds interesting.
Well hopefully there will be at least 5 creatures from Castrovel.
Wonder what that bovine-looking bugger is?
Looks a little bit like a Kelpie.
Awesome! I'm so looking forward to the Munavris.
The Omnipath has me so. damn. excited.
I still can't believe were getting this and Bestiary 5 in the same year.
