Rejected Bestiary 2 IdeasWednesday, June 2, 2010
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 2 is in development, and part of the development process is making interesting connections between existing monsters to give GMs ideas for neat encounters. The achaierai is a lawful evil, four-legged, intelligent, predatory flightless bird-creature that lives in the lower planes. Kytons are lawful evil outsiders and can sometimes be found on the lower planes. As both creatures are LE non-devil outsiders that like torturing others, the idea was proposed that achaierais and kytons may ally from time to time, with kytons using the achaierais as mounts. As it turns out, there aren't that many kytons in Hell, so this sort of alliance would be unusual rather than common, so we dropped the idea. But it did inspire this strange "what if?" art....
