Also, Star Monarchs never got properly statted and there was mention of various boggard variants.The Night Monarch was statted in Pathfinder #5.
There is a Huge CR10 variant boggard called the mobogo statted in Pathfinder #12.
The Night Monarch is the big minion of Desna, the Star Monarchs are the smaller cousins that are native to Golarion (I think). They got a rough sidebar write-up under the Night Monarch article but I'd like to see more.
And in the Boggard article there was mention of variant kinds like tree frogs and such.

Hold on, hold on, hold on a minute.
I want everybody to stop and look at this.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"It's one of my favourite poems ever, and it'd be pretty nifty to see a Jabberwock, Jubjub bird and frumious Bandersnatch!
Bandersnatch is a creature, but "Frumious" is a template.

Okay, okay, since we keep seeing this come up over and over again, I'm going to squeal right now.
The Jabberwock will be in Bestiary II.

OOO! I hope it is designed with the 1985 Alice in Wonderland miniseries as a source of inspiration. Best. Jabberwocky. Ever!

I'm rather fond of the Jabberwock from the Muppet Show.

Marvellous... so when is that book tentatively pencilled in for then?
Ymeri (from legacy Of Fire) and her fellow Kings and Queens of elemental Evil.
The wormfolk (Seven Swords of Sin, p. 30)
Since the obvious relevant quote has already been taken, I will just say, Yay, Jabberwock!

Ah-hahahaha!
The Slor! (From the History Timeline in the Campagn Setting book.)This is a great example of something we'll probably not touch again, and an example of someone sneaking in an easter egg that does more damage than good. The slor is, of course, a reference to Ghostbusters, and since that's not in the public domain, it's not something we can really ever expand upon. And if we went a different route and expanded it into a completely different monster, then it doesn't make as much sense on the timeline history (if it's not a huge rampaging beast), and the fact that it's name is the same as the one mentioned in Ghostbusters gets even sillier. Which is why editors get really angry when freelancers sneak things in like that. It's even worse when it's an EDITOR who sneaks in something like that. Grrr.
WE WANT THE SLOR! http://giantslor.ytmnd.com/
Sure, it's a Ghostbusters reference, but is that really trademarked? Heck, only one of the top 2 pages of Google results is even related to the Ghostbusters "slor."

Doesn't matter if it's technically trademarked or not. The slor is awesome in Ghostbusters. It's not for Pathfinder or Golarion.
MMMM... More Fey is definitely a good idea, but I don't think 3 is enough!
SkraelingsThese, I assume, would be a human ethnicity (skraeling being what the Norse called the Native Americans).
Yes, though the term was 1st used to describe the Eskimos living in Greenland. I'll note, if Paizo is thinking of using this word for Golarion, the likely etymology is not a positive one, shall we say...
I would like to know about the Qlippoth's. I don't think they have been explored yet.
HA (Inside Joke)!!! Awesome. We'll see what we can do! ^_~

Dude. It takes @#$%-naer next to NOTHING to get that bloody "Jam Tomorrow, Jam Yesterday" song stuck in my head, and that did it. Thanks.
And as for pure, 80s, you're-a-kid-and-probably-shouldn't-see-this-but-we're-showing-it-to-you-an yway TERROR, the Jabberwock in this ranks up there with the Alien and Rancor. So yeah. On that.
I hate both of you.Dude. It takes @#$%-naer next to NOTHING to get that bloody "Jam Tomorrow, Jam Yesterday" song stuck in my head, and that did it. Thanks.
Oh no no no, you don't get off THAT easy.
Also, look at the cast for this bloody movie. They must have paid these actors in cocaine.
[/End TOTAL TOPIC DERAILMENT]
I don't get it? What's the problem?
I don't get it? What's the problem?Two words: seizure dance.
I dunno...I could kind of see Carol Channing and Safety Dance going together...
I bet the serpentfolk are already in the bestiary!
I'm not sure those are the same gorilla people, actually...The sentient gorilla people of the Mwangi Expanse. You know, the ones that stole that giant cannon.I think they are in the "Crucible of Chaos" adventure.
I'm about to stat up a Mwangi gorilla. I assumed they could work as awakened apes.
I'm frequently a-twitter, looking forward to the hinting on the Tien (Oriental) dragons referenced in one of the adventure path books (the one that talked about Dragons in Golarion in general,) but I'm also anxious about it at the same time.
I've oft thought thought they were kind of short-changed, treated as third-best in past D&D incarnations. I find this a bit frustrating because mythologically speaking, they were the old-school wise and spiritual, non-evil, magical dragons... and the metallic dragons kind of killed them and looted their stuff. Heck, the gold dragon used to be Chinese-dragon-ish, before they muted that element in the gold's design somewhat.

You crazy #@!$%$&s. :P
thank you for making my point! The Donkey Rat is a complex creature with an important ecological niche in Golorian. The Player's Guide to Rise of the Runelords states:
the donkey rats native to Varisia’s coast are popular pets (and meals) throughout the southern lands.
This majestic creature deserves more than to be consider a less interesting dire rat.
whose with me?!?
And as for pure, 80s, you're-a-kid-and-probably-shouldn't-see-this-but-we're-showing-it-to-you-an yway TERROR, the Jabberwock in this ranks up there with the Alien and Rancor. So yeah. On that.
Dude, now I'm going to start having nightmares again. I only saw the first half of the 1985 Alice in Wonderland TV movie, which stopped right when Alice summoned the Jabberwocky by reading the poem out of that book. I had to beg my parents to stay up late to watch it in the first place, and then I slept horribly because that damn thing scared me more than anything else I thought was lurking in the darkness of my room*. Suitably horrified by the Jabberwocky, my parents never let me watch the second half when it came on the next day, so I never saw Alice unsummon the monster, nor finish the movie. Nightmares almost as bad as when I read the Colour Out of Space the next year when I was 7 (I'm telling you, that story at that age probably F'ed me up).
*the Jersey Devil in the hall bathroom, the martian death robot from one of the Choose Your Own Adventure books that was in the hallway, the Mothman in the closet, Freddie Kreuger in the other closet, and the ninja outside the window... yes I was a very special and overly imaginative child apparently.
A bunch of stuff about oriental dragons.
I'm pretty sure I've posted in agreement with you on this before. But should that stop me from doing it again here? It didn't.

The apes of my Mwangwi 'gorilla city' are awakened and fiendish, and keep human slaves, for eatin'. They usually have class levels in Ranger, Barbarian, Adept, Druid, Sorcerer or (very rarely) Cleric of Angazhan. They are awful at long-term planning, overhunt the area, eat all of their slaves, and then turn on each other and slide into near extinction for awhile, before rebuilding their 'glorious' civilization to do it all over again. They also use (barely) trained baboons as slave labor, but do not repeat the terrible mistake of their creators by awakening the help.
Somehow I can only imagine the rat dishes available!
