Nice.
Strongly suspect Monster 2 is some sort of mimic variant. That white gluey aesthetic and all.
Monster 4 has got to be an aquatic draconic something.
Monster 3: Winged griffon?
What the hell is Monster 1?! Alien? Construct? Mecha-daemon?
They are nice.
Might be a good call on Monster 2, I hadn't thought of that.
Monster 3 I suspect is a garden variety Hippogriff.
Monster 4 looks like a reasonably 'classic' dragon to me - you might be right on it being aquatic, but I wouldn't immediately jump to that conclusion.
Okay, here's my (totally unofficial) guesses:
Monster 1: The creator of Mountain Dew.
Monster 2: Trap-Rat-Spider
Monster 4: Aquamarine Dragon... or is that more cerulean?
Monster 3: ...WTF! Awww! How'd that get in there!
You can tell Mark's new. Doesn't he know he's supposed to make the image file names of the creatures he's displaying?
Okay, here's my (totally unofficial) guesses:
Monster 1: The creator of Mountain Dew.
So what you're saying is that the Bestiary 2 is sponsored by Mountain Dew? Genius! Why hadn't someone thought of this sooner ;)

Yes, that isn't totally not not what I'm saying. :P
Okay, until I get it, my guesses:
Monster 1 (top Left): Alchemical Golem of some sort (with a formeldehyde preserved brain).
Monster 2 (top right): A rat-plant=spider thing, judging by the "base" of the creature, possibly infectious with parasitic worms of some sort?
Monster 3 (bottom left): Hippogriff. This is great for my soon to be released Hobgoblin Hippogriff Calvalry on some unsuspecting players (mwahahahahahaha)
Monster 4 (bottom Right): Water or Salt Drake. Perhaps an aqua dragon...
There's me guesses, I hope that at least ONE of them is right :P

I suspect monster 2 was influenced by the real world parasite Cordyceps unilateralis.
HIPPOGRIFF! Finally.
Monster 1 is a brain a jar without any of the physical limitations! This is one of the scariest concepts I've ever encountered. I seriously gasped as the picture loaded.

Wow- just read the wiki article. Fascinating! Thanks for posting...
I just can't help wondering if the first one is one of the new Inevitables.
Hou ftw!

wow these are great!
I throw my iron helm in with monster 1 being some sort of golem an alchemist makes.
Monster 2, whatever the hell it is looks to be JUST the monster I have been looking for! Been needing a new monster for a horror/chtulhu adventure.
Monster 3: about time!
Monster 4: thinking some kind of gem monster. In the Dragons book it talks about different types of dragons, one of them being a few gem dragons. And those were always popular enough to be in secondary Monster Manuals for ages past.
What the hell is Monster 1?! Alien? Construct? Mecha-daemon?
That's easy. It's my worst freaking nightmare.

I read the article which led me to another one about a parasite that makes grasshopper commit suicide

Damn, that Hyrum guy works quick on the marketing.
yeah!!! horror needley constructy thingy.
Love the needle for arms "Mars Attack" Martian dude. Simply awesome. Hope it's a construct so my wizard can create one. Who'll @#$@ with me when I have one of those as a bodyguard!
Best. Blog. Post. Ever!
I can't tell if Monster 2 is some sort of carnivorous, symbiotic plant or the rat-spider creature it is riding on. Or both...
Monster 1 is disturbing.
Best. Blog. Post. Ever!
FOUL!!!
:D
I can't tell if that punning title is awesome or awful?Awesome.
Seconded. All in favor?

Has anyone taken the position that monster #3 is not a hippogriff, and that anyone who thinks it's a hippogriff is wrong, and should feel bad about being so wrong? Because, if not, I call dibs on that position. I will henceforth be intractable regarding the identity of monster #3 (which I believe is actually a pegasus with a magic item that makes it look like a beak) and belligerent* towards any who claim otherwise.
*More belligerent than normal.

#1 Intellect Devourer Battle Armour!
One of my players actually has two intellect devourer corpses in jars in his laboratory (I planted them in Carrion Hill as set-dressing). I might have him find one of the jars has gone missing, and his laboratory is in shambles. Would be a fun little side-trek :-).
#3 is an elf riding something it found in his cabbage patch this morning.
Actually, monster #1 is Krang's first attempt at a body suit.
Seriously though... what I like the most is that monster #1 has a round "circle" in the middle of his chest... just large enough for the "brain" to enter and exit the "body".
