how about new types of genies to match the eastern elemental wheel, AKA metal and wood? the metallic ones could be named Ashkal('Automaton' in arabic). also, D&D 3E had the shadow genies called Khayal(described as opposed to the Jann since while the Jann are made of all the elements, the Khayal are made of none).
about modern myth, how about the New York Albino Alligator? would be a nice surprise while exploring sewers.
also, for a pirate campaign it would be cool to have an expy of Davy Jones and/or the Flying Dutchman(not necessarily inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean, but the movie designs were awesome).

a weird genus of dragons whose eggs act like seeds, they are considered both Dragons and Plants.
* Lemon Dragon: a bright yellow dragon with electrified breath weapon, its cytric breath can blind targets and its bite is supernaturally painful;* Grape Dragon: a reddish purple dragon with a fiery breath weapon, its breath can daze targets and it can breath an intoxicating mist;
* Melon Dragon: a striped green dragon with sonic breath weapon, its breath also deals piercing damage and it can fire a volley of bullet-like seeds;
* Coconut Dragon: a brown and white dragon with a freezing breath weapon, its breath is a stream of milky cold water that can bull-rush enemies and its tough hide makes it very hard to kill;
* Maracuja Dragon: a dark violet dragon with an acidic breath weapon, its breath clings to the victim for ongoing damage and its it sprays acidic blood when wounded.

The bodachs from the recent Odd Thomas movie would make a pretty awesome outsider from the ethereal or astral plane
I'd rather see the real Bodach from mythology, the old man with long beard he can animate, being a chimney bogeyman he is covered in ash and steals the breath of young sleeping children.

I'm not sure how many other people remember Trilochan, but I'd love to see him/her make an appearance.

If Bestiary 5 has to be all-generic monsters, then the B5 can just sort of "hint" at the planetary ecology that their entries belong to.
Anyway, I would like to see more
Qlippoths
Celestial races
undead that are intelligent but not evil
incorporeal beings
invisible beings
goblinkind
monsters that can be easily mistaken for other monsters as a defense mechanism (e.g. a magical beast that can cast an illusion of itself as a much more dangerous creature)
Khshar'naja |
golems made of food? sounds like a great idea! could be justified as a defense mechanism to protect stored goods, they animate and attack unless a magic word is pronounced and can heal allies by feeding them pieces of themselves:
-Ham Golem, made of dried meat and sea salt, armed with very painful crystalline blades and dehydrating strikes;
-Symbiotic Cheese Golem, AKA golems made of cheese with symbiotic life forms in it that allow it to have some benefits of living creatures and summons for aid, comes in two variants: Zola(blue mold that can infect enemies and release spore clouds) and Casu Marzu(crawls with maggots that can be spwen out as a swarm).

I always liked monsters that looked like more dangerous creatures then they are, like that plant creature that looks like a beholder from first or second edition.
I would like more incorporeal creatures that are not undead.
I would like at least one creature immune to force effects/damage and maybe made out of force as well.
I would like more creatures immune to physical attacks like manufactured weapons, metal weapons, stone weapons/spells/effects, natural attacks/unarmed strikes. Also some creatures that are immune to slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning attacks that are not oozes.
Creatures made of positive energy, negative energy, and other forms of energy.
A creature made out of a strong base instead of acid and gets special abilities vs creatures made of or who use acid.
A swarm of fine radiant energy beings, who blind all that look at them and effect any creature damaged by then with a prismatic spray like effect.
More elementals such as mineral, vacuum, ash, radiance, salt, steam, positive energy, negative energy, and time.
A magical beast that looks like a wolf, can talk, shapechange into things like rabbits, sheep and people's grandmothers.
The Ravid but make it around CR9-12 range and can channel positive energy as a cleric.

Just found out about a couple more mythical Liazarmen.
The Inzignanin:
The Indians of South Carolina that inhabited the Chicora- an area told legends of The Inzignanin, fish like humanoids that were five feet in height, covered in scales, and had fairly inflexible tails approximately 18 inches long. These Fish-men were believed to consume only raw fish and are said to have died out when the areas fish population depleted.
And the Shawnahooc:
The Shawnee Indians inhabited the area surrounding what is now known as the Little Miami River. There tribe had a legend about The Shawnahooc which, roughly translated means The River Demon. As the legend goes a small group of Shawnee Indians on a hunt stumbled upon a fairly large reptilian on the banks of the river. The Indians attempted move in closer. However, upon doing so, the creature took notice of them, stood up on its hind legs, and retreated back into the river. The Shawnee people became extremely frightened upon hearing this. Believing that this creature was a demon they sent their greatest warriors to vanquish the demon or drive it from the river. The Shawnee Indians never again caught site of the creature and, according to their myths, it is believed that after seeing the warriors approach it fled.
And the Dover Demon seems to have a Native American name, the Mannegishi.
A little bit of shameless self promotion here, but I'm in need of assisstance and giant lists of monsters. Can you check out this thread, if you have a chance? http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qy92?Pop-Culture-Monsters#1

Black Oil would have been in Bestiary 4 but got cut for some reason? The artist made the picture anyway and I love it!
Hope to see it in bestiary 5!
@Wannabe Demon: Atosis - a medeoulin who is a reptilian humanoid, forces people to find a stick so that he can cook them with it, was blinded by Moosbas

Paizo just announced the fall hardcover: Monster Codex. So no Bestiary 5 this year, although maybe still a softcover Bestiary.
Honestly, I'd rather have monstruous NPCs in a separate book than inside a Bestiary. Do I really need to remind you how clumsy, cumbersome, slot-wasted, useless and pointless THAT was in Monster Manuals 4 and 5?

I admit I am pulling for a Distant World Bestiary. Would work well with the Numeria AP.
I am wondering if the Monster Codex might explain why we haven't seen any announcements for a "Revisited" book this year. Undead unleashed is of similar design, but still a bit different in that it focuses on one individual. I can't recall if there ever has been a year with no "revisited"
