Wesley Sneijder was searching for information about the Kaster (the pretty male with gems on its body) some time ago, I wonder if that creature made it into the Bestiary 5.
I doubt Wesley Sneijder has any sort of influence regarding which monsters make it into a Paizo book.
Wes Schneider on the other hand...:-P

Oh my bad! I'm so used to write down that name, being Dutch and all.
At least Orthos got his favorite out of that, so it wasn't for nothing.

Also a question, are Oil and Lead fantasy materials or are they more for ScienceFiction, futuristic games? Never seen anything Oil or Lead in a fantasy game/world. Well there is the Ikuchi of course, but other than that sea serpent never seen it, mostly they use tar.
Lead is the stuff they create bullets from right? But did people in the middleages/medieval times also used lead?
Not that I mind, just curious.
Yes, even the Romans used lead pipes to carry water. The term plumber comes from the latin word for lead: plumbum
Interestingly, even in Roman times, lead was known as a poison that caused madness and death but it still continued to be widely used.
There are many different kinds of oil, including ones from modern plants and animals. Petroleum, extracted from fossil sources, has been used since ancient times in various forms. Primarily it was used a building material but it was also burned as a source of heat. The early internal combustion engines chose oil-derivatives as a fuel source because at the time it was cheap and plentiful.
Awesome! Thanks! You both made me like the Lead Golem and the Roiling Oil much more now!
Awesome to know that Lead is poisonous! I must say i'm really falling in love with that golems artwork, next to the Alchemical, Cannon, Fossil and Magnetite golem that is my favorite golem artwork!
While i'm always having a big mouth about less golems and blablabla i'm actually a HUGE fans of MANY Paizo and D&D golems, they are all so nice! I'm curious what the other golems will be in this book!
I never really liked the Black Pudding that much, so the Roiling Oil is a nice replacer for a black ooze. (Yes i'm bizarre, I like to have a Ooze for every color lol)
And of course, back in the days of alchemy, the philosopher's stone was thought to transmute mundane lead into gold! That's pretty magic-y.

You should see what happens when you mix them all together.
S~$$ gets f@&$ed up!
So the PDFs should be out next week.
Don't think they release the PDF/BOOK before the competition is over, so I think you will get it in two weeks.
Kinda hope it too, so its easier to ignore this site for two weeks instead of three weeks.
I got my shipping soon email yesterday.
But then the whole competition for stats is kinda useless if half the world already seen the stats?
Damn this is gonna be long torture to wait for the PDF and not spoil myself...
They should start shipping 2nd. I would be so happy if I got my PDF the first day shipping starts.

Heya, just to lend some insight on the scheduling: we made the decision to schedule the previews around the official book/PDF street date (November 18) since our audience of non-subscribers is fairly large (and we wanted to invite more people to participate and give them chances to win the prizes available in the contest as well) :)
Next week? I count 2 weeks and 5 days, with the competition ending on the same day. PDFs are available Nov. 18, right?

People who subscribe get it 3 weeks earlier...
So get ready to get spoiled to death... The first week is sometimes easy, but then i'm getting so curious and watch the entire list anyway, its always the same story, i'm just too weak to resist such awesomness, but the power of surprise is gone by then... so reading through the PDF myself is not as much fun as it would otherwise be.
I can't use books and most don't even appear at my adress, so subscribing isn't an option for me. I'm always buying the PDF as I only use PDF's lately.

Subscribers get pdfs ahead of street date, usually, as our shipments are sent out before the street date so they arrive around the same time. The exact selection process is mysterious, so it varies when exactyl, but slightly early access is a subscriber perk.
I'm really hoping for a print up of Force Dragons!
I should've known that :P I feel silly now.
I suspect I'll succumb to the temptation as well. I am so very excited for it's release.
The selection process is indeed mysterious though there some lucky souls who seem to get it almost always the first day.
Excited! A perfect birthday present to myself...

Others have already elaborated on the real-world history of lead.
I'll add that even in "fantasy-mode" D&D/Pathfinder, lead is a well-known way to block most divination spells (such as detect magic). Probably some other stuff... but that's what comes to mind first, for me.
Alot of awesome stuff then.
I think this lead golem will melt by fire attacks and takes bizarre forms after being attacked by fire, but still being able to move, it transforms when fire attacks are used against it, and it becomes poisonous or has some poisonous breath attack.
If it was a birthday present for me, we would have gotten it in July;)
Oh, I wanted to say that I just read into the Fleshspawns some more and that I now like them more and more! Hope the Orc Fleshspawn (with the centipede body) is in this book WITH NEW ARTWORK.
My least favorite from bestiary 4 is now the undead cyclops, don't undestand that creature or what is special about it.
Vildeis is also very cool, hope to see more celestials like her in bestairy 5!

I also hope the oronci (orc fleshwarp) is in Bestiary 5. It's gotta be my favorite one. Seeing the other fleshwarps that were listed but not stat-ed would be stupendous.
Yes, but I really dislike the artwork for the Oronci, I think that can be a much better monster looks-wise. So if they use the oronci it really needs better artwork to make it appear more monstrous and dangerous.
I know there's gonna be some creatures from the Inner Sea Bestiary, but please don't be the Charnel COlossus, I mean bestiary 4 had both the Flesh Colossus and the Warsworn, why this bestiary needs another mass-corpse creature? Flesh Colossus and Charnel Colossus are very much alike in appearance anyway.
Whirlmaw is still the one I really like to see taken from the Inner Sea Bestiary, its just so bizarre and unique. Fungus Queen is also very cool.
I really like the Lead Golem, but I hope its Golem brothers in this Bestiary are new and not taken from the Inner Sea Bestiary, those 3 golems are my least favorite Paizo Golems.
Korir-kokembe is another creature I want to see, but with other artwork, one that has insects coming out of its maw.
Never cared for the fleshwarped, except for Driders.
I still don't care for the human fleshwarps, they look chaotic and not my thing, but the others grew on me, especially the Oronci, Troglodyte-one and Irnakurse.
Yeah, I forgot about the troglodyte one, I like that one as well.
Anyone else wish the grays were a player race?

The description of the Conclave of Ancients (the creature that was later statted up as the Charnel Colossus) was implied to be more like a collective of ghosts.
I'd have rather gotten something like that than what we did get.

Tammy can take it down.
I would like to see a collection of ghostly faces and limbs combined together as one incorporeal undead like the legion from the Shin Megami Tensei games.
I doubt the Greys will be a player race but it would be interesting if they were.
I think Caller in Darkness is just fine as the collective of spirits.
This soulnade was always one of my favorite D&D creatures, so can't wait what they have done with it.
I hope someone on this site gets the PDF and can answer questions today. I have a lot work shifts this week...of course.
Any news on what animals are in this bestiary, aside from the red panda?
I just want to know what the player races are. I will wait to see the rest.
Also yeah awhile back i said I wanted the greys to be a pc race. I doubt they will however
Please put huge lists of creatures names in spoilers. Some people still like to read little spoilers but posting huge lists is cruel.
yes please use spoilers...I like to maintain some suspense for when I get my pdf.
So, does anyone have there pdf yet?
If so could you list all the 0HD races in the book?
*doesn't have the book but dreamed it came to him along with a copy of Book of the Damned in HC, Inner Seas Races and a HC compilation of Curse of the Crimson Throne with Pathfinder rules/updates*
I don't have the book yet, but my subscription page has been updated to list the next items after my subscription shipments for this month, so the shipments are definitely being processed.

If people post creatures than please don't:
Post entire group of creatures, if someone asks for ALL plants, or all Player Races, then put them in spoilers. Because some people don't mind getting spoilered reading through all plants, and I for example don't care for the player races, so I can click that spoiler. (maybe you can even give the person asking for the entire list a Private message?)
If you talk about one creature that is special or your favorite I don't mind it if you call it, that makes reading with you guys fun, but entire lists spoil the book for multiple people (NOT ONLY FOR ME, so if you hate me, do it for others like MMCJawa)
Mikaze is known to post big lists of all creaturs + what she likes about them, I hope he/she does it when the PDF is out and not before, or do it in spoilers tags. Or does just a limited list, not all creatures.
Also 2 years ago, Paizo posted a HUGE list with all names of all creatures in the book BEFORE the PDF was out, I hope this year will be different and we continue with that awesome competition of Liz and when the PDF is out on the 18th then that list will be posted, last year that list spoiled it for me personally as I couldn't resist clicking on it after 5 days of torturing myself not to watch it. Please paizo don't post that list, people will buy that book anyway, they don't need that list!
Thanks :-p (I just wanna enjoy reading bestiary 5 for once and not get spoiled through the entire book, little spoilers and peoples stories about their favorites in the book is fun though! And not reading and ignoring this topic for 3 weeks will be even more torture)
Post whatever you like just use spoiler tags.
Post whatever you like just use spoiler tags.
Easy for you to say, you get the book/pdf in like 2 days, we have to wait more than 2 weeks for it.
I'm fine with ANY spoiler they post except for the ENTIRE list of the book, if someone likes to know the ENTIRE list then ask somebody with the book to send it to you through private message, so other people don't get into the torture of looking at it because the freaking wait takes too long. I think 2 weeks earlier is really torture and unfair, but that's just me.
Having said that, I want to ask some questions about the book (for anyone that already gets it in these 3 days) that should be put in SPOILERS as I don't really care for these spoilers but others of course could.
[1: How many robots are in this book? How many inevetable? How many Oni? How many Rakshasa. (Yes I like to know how much pages i'm gonna skip lol) I don't want to know their names, only the number of them.
2: The Su, what is the ability where it uses its own young?
3: Can Veela be both male and female Or is it just male?
4: Does the Veela have some wind-based abilities? And what CR is the Veela?
5: How many (only need number) AP monsters made it into this book? And can you name ALL the AP monsters that got new artwork?
6: Name all Inner Sea Bestiary monsters that made it into this book, and which got new artwork?
7: Did the Grim Reaper gain new artwork!?
8: What creature was the Fey that didn't make it in the competition, is it a Clurichaun?
That is all I like to know for now.
You could always just get the subscription. :P Makes the torture much less intense.

I have two reasons not to take the subscription, I have multiple houses which I switch often and I never use books only PDF.
Last time I bought a book was Monster Manual 3 from D&D 4th edition, that's a long time ago, after that I went over with PDF, but mostly the PDF appeared like 1 week after the book did, but now it takes more than 15 days...
