Because it's almost certainly too late for Bestiary 3. :)
To start: Recent discussion of ghost ships indicates that there's a niche for skeletons and zombies that, while not necessarily any tougher than standard issue, retain skill ranks and can be commanded to perform profession- and maybe even craft-related tasks. Sailor dead, that sort of thing. (Could easily be a variant, just a couple of paragraphs in the back of the book.)
I'm assuming we'll see demodands sometime soon, but... there have only ever been three kinds, and the other fiends keep getting additions to their ranks, so... New demodands please!
RPG Superstar monsters. The Hunger that Moves deserves an official writeup!
I want see an undead that retains the powers of when he was alive and can be reanimated with create undead, like the bone and corpse creature from the book of the vile darkness
the Nosferatu that is an evolution of a vampire like the Demilich to a Lich

Huh? Thought I'd skipped a year for a second there.
Theres actually quite a few undead that retain skills and skill ranks.
The suffix 'Lord' tends to let ya get the best of both worlds there. (zombie lord, skeleton lord etc). Of course then theres Ghouls, Draugr and Wights. All of which I've used in wrecks and ghost ships over the years. The low CR makes en ideal.
But hey, does anyone remember Ibexians? Also called Goatmen? Or Gruffs.
Used em in a game once in a Chaos beastmen kinda vein (was into warhammer at the time). After reading the dresden files I reckon they'd work as bigger badass cousins to the Fey Satyrs. Then apply the giant template every time they get 100 years older.
Mighr be cool in a campaign where you defeat a bunch of em every bow and again, and their bigger brothers seek you out on occasion. And their bigger brothers? Huge greataxe anyone (goes to stat up).

Nosferatu is already covered in Pathfinder as plague-related protovampire. Huh, strange, I thought it was updated to PF from 3.5 in Bestiary 2 but it wasn't. Maybe it will be covered in Bestiary 3.
Not that some kind of uber-vampire couldn't be done in B4, it would just need a new name.
The Berbalang (if it isn't in Bestiary 3) - an old White Dwarf/Fiend Folio monster. I always liked the concept, but I'm not sure if its WotC intellectual property.
This is a pointless wishlist until we know for sure what is in the Beastairy 3. With that being said...
-More creatures from myth
-More Cryptids
-More creatures from old editions of D@D
-More creatures from the APs
-More creatures from literature
-More animals/vermin(both modern and ancient)
-More cool original creatures

Robots. They've been a part of D&D since the begining, they exist in Pathfinder (in Numeria). I say we need stats for them.

Robots would be awesome! Also other stuff to tie into "Distant Worlds" material.
Have they published the list of B3 critters yet?
Cryptids, monsters from urban legends, and more "real mythological" creatures, preferably statted and illustrated to reflect the descriptions depicted in sightings and beliefs. No more spiky-backed mini-dinosaur chupacabras, please.

Ah, but Paizo already knows what's in B3, so I figured we should start a new thread for making our preferences known for the next one(preferably in such a way as to entertain and not annoy, of course). If anything shows up here that's already planned for B3, no harm done, I'd think.
I think there's been a Pathfinder update of the nosferatu somewhere. Maybe in Carrion Crown?

Update all of the monsters from the 3.5 era adventure paths.. those that haven't been done already.
LINORMS, LINORMS, and more LINORMS. There can never be enough of them.
Additionally, (if they aren't copyrighted), some of the critters from the Diablo Computer Games, (or knock-offs if they are)...
The Frost Salamander
and MORE LINORMS...

El Tunche.
Apus.
Yawar Supai as a Spawn of Rovagug.

Elder(uber) Vampires.
+1
For the canonical fearsome creature of the night, vampires tend to be pretty fragile compared to other undead. I think Dicefreaks did a good job with this.
Classic Horrors Revisited didn't do as much to help this as I was hoping. The swarm form ability is okay, but most of the other abilities don't do much to help them out.
--
Speaking of which, a swarm template and a multi-headed template would be awesome. I really miss the multi-headed template from Savage Species.
What ever happened to the MANES? The Abyssal guys that were the Lemures equivalent. Why have Manes been replaced by Dretch?
Is it something in the OGL or is there just no love for the little CR1 demon guys?
|
I could just as easily draft up rules for some of these guys myself, but I wouldn't mind seeing Paizo versions of:
The Squonk, a drippy, ugly swamp creature capable of dissolving into a puddle at will.
The Hodag, a vicious, forest-dwelling spiky dog-beast.
The Dingonek, a giant, jungle-dwelling, sting-tailed reptilian.
Or the Wolpertinger, which is simply adorable.
Also, can Paizo use the mooncalf or is that off limits?

The hodag was done in Pathfinder #32, and like all the monsters in the Pathfindner AP Bestiaries, it gets two pages.

Manes were not part of the SRD, nor were they in the Tome of Horrors. The Tome of Horrors did have the Nupperibo, which is the devil-equivalent of a Manes (i.e. subdevils, as Manes were subdemons), as well as the Abyssal Larva, which is sort of a subdemon.

OK but how can they be copyrighted? Manes is from Mythology. I don't think WOTC can make a case for them.

Im not familiar with the PF monsters yet..
These ideas may be eccentric..
But I would like to see things that flow through mirrors,ice,glass and other reflective surfaces "Tremors" style.
Jellyfish.
Sentient Diseased Mold.
Terminator 2 style robot cyborgs that can shapeshift doppleganger style.
Spider like humanoids "Chitine".
Sentient stones that can roll and crush when threatened.
"The Thing" style creatures.
Shadow monsters that replace your shadow that can strangle and drain hp.
Sentient objects like brooms, kitchen knives, forks, and furniture Evil Dead style.
Large slugs that leave a trail of slippery slime on dungeon floors,emit a toxic fume, and shoot poisonous barbs.
Slender Man style forest monster that kinaps, disembowels and eats towns people.
Zombie-Werewolf-Lich-Vampire hybrids
Water that reverses your position and glasses over when touched to drown the pc and attempt to absorb him/her.
Slender Man style forest monster that kinaps, disembowels and eats towns people.
Why do you specifically want a Slender Man? I vaguely remember a reference to a slender man in a carrion crown AP, but it might have been something else. Or was it Rise of the Runelords? but I can't figure out any horror trope of a SLender Man. Is it from Thinner?

Yep that's where I saw it! Many thanks!
Better copyright that slender man then before everyone gets hold of it!
*sniff* i wish i could see a pf mind flayer...that'd make a neat monster...stupid licensing issue.Intellect Devourers > Mind Flayers :)
Brain-devouring puppies? No thanks. I can't stand them since AD&D 2nd edition Monster Manual. Why the hell WotC could not make Intellect Devourer their IP instead of Mind Flayer? :(
I wouldn't mind seeing more shadow-related creatures, more fey, and more Lovecraftian creatures.
Yup. More of Lovercraftian creatures! Ia! Ia! Fthagan! Yum-yum! (ok, I would like to see more shadow-related creatures and more fey too).
Dire Weasels, and then some more, please!
Floatyhead with eyestalks
Cadaver Scamperer
Rebmu Lump
Mirror Image Monster
...you get the idea!
Get Charles Stross to write up a few monsters, for old time's sake!

something like King kong
Kercpa(small size humanoid squirel)

Pretty much anything that Epic Meepo has been cooking up in his thread in the Suggestions/Homebrew forum.
More golems! Specifically, some Small golems who might have a lower CL, and be a little more obtainable as far as a PC building their own. Maybe some sort of "disposable" golem made to be cheap and do a quick task without hassle?
More creatures that live in urban environments, at various CLs. If a campaign takes place mostly in a city, where the good roleplaying is, there should still be some decent monsters to fight, right?
More creatures that deal INT, WIS, or CHA damage... and more types of insanity (See the GameMaster Guide on Sanity and Madness) to inflict on a player who hits zero.
Life Elementals
Almiraj one horned rabbit
Aliens(Greys)
Orthrus two headed dog beast
