Are you guys planning on including stats for vermin animal companions in this bestiary? We haven't had any since Ultimate Magic and there have been A LOT of awesome vermin that would be great as AC's and if the vermin roster is half as good as B5 I'd love to get stat options for them.
Nope. That's not really a focus for this book, which is to present foes for GMs to use in adventures for PCs to fight. The concept of a vermin companion, while interesting, is a niche concept that is pretty far removed from the core game experience, and as such it isn't something that's directly supported in Bestiary 6 (although there are plenty of new vermin in Bestiary 6).
The proper venue for this would be in a Player Companion or Campaign Setting book, I guess, but there aren't any plans to include this information at this point in any upcoming books in either of those lines that we've currently announced as far as I know.

Argh! You're killin' me Jacobs. Killin' me.
Guess I will keep having to wait for that goblin cavalier with a mammoth flea mount.

Or just work with your GM to generate those stats based on existing examples.

So *nobody* has gotten a ship notice yet? I tend to be pretty late in the game usually and am not expecting anything until later in the week but am very curious about the final list!
Nadda on my AP subscription yet.

Do we even know how many and which of the Qlippoth Lords made it into the book? I just realized that I don't know a thing about them in this book. Well, I'm sure we are going to learn this in some days anyway... ^-^'
Same. Considering that Yamasoth has been statted already we are likely to get him, either as is or with an update to match the post mythic world we live in. If we get more than 1 my guess is that it's likely to be one of the Lords we got listed in Beyond the Doomsday Door so... Chavazvug, Isph-Aun-Vuln, Oaur-Ooung, Shiggarreb, Thuskchoon, the aforementioned Yamasoth.
Personally I'm hoping for Isph-Aun-Vuln (she's like an evil plague that possesses mortals and lays civilizations low) or Thuskchoon (mad apocalypse engine who's slime trail leaves runes of forbidden knowledge) if we get another but all of those presented are pretty cool.

Thanks for the answer Avatar! ;)
Could you share some of the creatures with the highest CR? For example, what is the CR for the Horsemen or the Archdevils.
