Where in our products have we mentioned monsters but not presented stats for said monsters? (Like how the Tane got mentioned in Pathfinder #2 but largely didn't show up with stats until Bestiary 2). I'm on a hunt for the statistically unloved and any help would be appreciated.
Alternatively, where have we illustrated monsters that have no stats? (Like the picture of the monks fighting the manananggals from the first campaign setting book, or Merisiel and her flock of pretty pink fish-monkeys that most recently appeared in the APG.)
What I'm not looking for is named individuals, even those of a monstrous persuasion (like Ayrzuk, the Nirvana Dragon, or the Spawn of Rovagug), so we can leave those big guys out - though if a region has its unique, named beastie (like the Sandpoint Devil) feel free to throw it on the list!
Post the monstrous mysteries that have baffled you most here!

Hi Wes,
Ahuizotl is in Bestiary 3. But I'm pretty sure the others Monsieur LeBlanc listed are not in anything published so far.
It would be interesting to see the Wendo from PF#39 statted up. I realize they are uniques, but they might be comparable to the Tane in CR.
A were-hyena is mentioned in the Osirion Companion, p.6.
I am, of course, curious about Trilochan, who is a named creature. And there's something depicted on p.35 of the PFS Field Guide that's interesting as well.

I must have misspelled it when searching for it. I have barely perused the Bestiary 3, but when I looked it up I remember reading the Akhlut.
Thanks Jeff. Now go back to work creating great things for me to use!

It's an alien we illustrated in Pathfinder #14 but never statted up or even named.
Yet.
From the Moonscar module discussion thread, art used for mockup cover.
(Of course, it could be statted up in said module.)

I'm pulling from the AP fiction here, so I may miss some things that have stats elsewhere:
I'd like to know about the background of The Happy Fellow legend (A History of Ashes, p. 77) even though he's supposed to be an elf...
Nifran from the LoF fiction (couldn't tell is this was a slur, a race, or a animal/creature from the usage, and the wiki didn't have anything on it)
Escape from Old Korvosa art on 59 (only art in first 2 APs I can't place)
Zhen worm Campaign Setting, p. 215 (I know not much of a threat, but maybe a hazard?).

From the old thread: http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz1jk6?Curious-about-new-monsters-in-Golarion
I looked through the old thread on this topic and dug up everything that wasn't statted (a fair number of things had been between that old thread and this one), wasn't unique and high-level, and wasn't an ethnicity of some sort or a vairant on a statted animal with the changes to that animal listed out where it was mentioned.
These are the results:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandkraken (Campaign Setting. page 59)
"The following is taken for Hangman's Noose and while it does not specificly name these plant creatures it does give the briefest descriptions of about 5 or 6 deadly plants or mosters of the plant type.
"Meanwhile, new things began to grow: black trees with weeping human eyes on the tips of their sickly branches; blood-sap sentinels; fungal molds the size of cattle; and marrow-drinking vines that steal memories, voices, and bones of any who wander among them. Worse, plants that infest human cadavers, animating the thing to walk among the living, are rumored to grow here along the sunless lanes. The cater-blossoms mewl in horror now, surrounded by twisted abomoinations of nature..."
Hangman's Noose pg. 28 under the section "Arboretum Arcanis"
The first five are specific vermin/vermin swarms mentioned on page 29 of Hangman's Noose, the quote, like the one above, does not specificly name a creature but does provide a brief description.
Mottle Cliff-Stingers
Blackmead Hornets
Scorpion Crabs
Blight Flies
Eye-Stealing Synwasps
"Those who bravely venture inside see figures roaming within the deluge of vermin-tall things with long arms ending in five spasming stingers where fingers should be..."
Hangman's Noose pg. 29 under the section "Stinger's Scar""
From The Great Beyond:
Formians (Wasp Type)
Time Elementals
"From PF#2 The Skinshaw Murders, there are the unnamed spider-like horrors that came from within the Irespan (pg. 59 under "A History of Dread")"
razorscales (Dark Markets p. 19 & LoF PG p. 12)
Soul Worm
"The worm creatures are souls of the damned, collected by evil outsiders to sell, trade, and--oftentimes--simply devour."
Gallery of Evil pg. 10 under the section titled "Harvester of Souls"
In PF #23, the Rovagug article, there's some Kellid people who live by the Worldwound and get mutated by the powers of raw chaos.
What do they get mutated into? Or is it mentioned somewhere I don't know?
Rime Elemental
Guardians of Dragonfall pg. 16
Keld Piskies
Hollow's Last Hope pg. 5
Loa Spirits
River Into Darkness pages 18 and 19
-> These might fall into the unique/divine category

White speckled dragons (AP #4)
You know... something that rarely gets mentioned is the harmless creatures... What pacifists of creatures are there that should never get stat blocks... encountering some of these fantastical creates early always helped new players learn that not everything non human you meet is "I see a weird thing in front of me- I draw my sword initiative is _"
dotted again...
Charigs from the pond outside Carowyn manor in PF #8. Glow in the dark salamanders make for awesome familiars.

Going through Lord Gadigan's list:
Mishtu, twigjacks, hippocampus, Elysian titans, arctic worms (frost worms), thunderbirds and guardian daemons (as ceustodaemons) are in Bestiary 2.
Incubus, axebeaks, valkyries and the flying torsos (manngannal [sp]) are in Bestiary 3.
The flightless birds with teeth and the flapping horrors in the Mwangi Expanse are more flavorful ways of saying "dinosaurs", specifically Deinonychus and Pteranodon respectively.
I totally want to see charigs as familiars. Hadn't thought about it until it was mentioned upthread.
...starfish panda?
The Thin Men from Nuat island in Rahadoum
I could have sworn that razorscales were just the local Katapeshi term for the Bestiary's giant frilled lizards.
The giant living ship-eating island mentioned in the Inner Sea World Guide supposedly inhabiting the seas around Sarusan. :)
That'd be the aspidochelene from one of the Council of Thieves bestiary-sections, methinks.

If you want a list of these I can go through and make it too.)

I’ve actually been keeping a list of these for several years with every product I’ve got.
Name Source
Fungal mound from Lost Cities 12
Spore mound from Dungeon Denizens Revisited
Since there is no real crunchy bits for the fungal mound in Lost Cities I am quite sure the monster variant Spore mound from Dungeon Denizens Revisited was meant.

Calistria's Vengeance Demon : Velvet Wing.
Do any of the missing drakes have 3.5e stats?
Ooze and storm drakes from Draconomicon?
What's that undead thing on the cover of the ISWG?
Isn't that Tar-Baphon?
Yes.
A bit of a necromancy, but I'd love to see more on the gorgas of Sevenarches (Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to the River Kingdoms). They are clearly First World monsters.
I don't think that the Devil in Grey has been statted up completely yet.
I'd also like to see more information on some of the emissaries of the gods, such as Urgathoa's servant, Olix, if they count.

Necro thread: is there anything on gorgas to date? I'm just gonna assume their various evil fey from the First World at this point (and just plunk out some random evil fey monster whenever a hunt for those is called for..)
Grey Dragons were mentioned in Fortress of the Stone Giants.
There are also all the other septs mentioned, like abomination dragons, with such enticing names as hoarfrost, rot, ruin, rust, and suffocation. There are also humor dragons, with choleric, melancholy, sanguine, and phlegmatic. Also, there are mineral dragons, with coal, pyrite, silicon an sulfur. Thaumaturgic dragons are also mentioned, being abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation. Lastly, we have sin and virtue dragons, which are said to be antithetical. From the Triaxus entry from People of the Stars, there are sky-preists, vapor boars, kokogiaks, and poet-whales.
I know this thread specifies monsters, but I want to know about the mystery SWORD on the cover of Ultimate Equipment and Mythic Adventures.

Ah yes, the Iconic Intelligent Magic Item, whose iconic backstory and (mis)adventures have yet to be posted to the Blog. Perhaps they'll work that up in the last days of March and post it the next day.
Yes. I see what you did there. Heh.

From Castrovel:
* The many-eyed Jolo Orb with its mist-penetrating sight
* Massive, floating Dream Jellies
* Fanged Lanternbearers with lighted lures and clawed legs
There are quite probably some manner of evil Outsiders that look like a bloated doll that devours Devils.
There also might be evil beings from a prior iteration of the multiverse that are empowered by negative energy harnessed through intellect and oppose the Manasaputras.

Most of those dragons have probably been retconned out of existence. Mike McArtor's early work on Golarion's dragons isn't really in line with Mr. Jacobs's current vision for Golarion.
As for Triaxian creatures, at least one of them made it into print. Before People of the Stars, in fact.
