Monster #1- Iron Man after he developed Anorexia.
Monster #2 - The world's scariest fungi and its zombie-ant.
Monster #3 - I'm not going to say anything, in case Sebastian decides to be mean to me if I do.
Monster #4 - A dragon. Or make that, yet another dragon.
I tend to agree with the masses on the first being an alchemy golem, the third a hippogriff and the fourth some sort of primordial dragon, possibly aquatic.
As for #2, I think it is one of the new Daemons, intended to fill in the lower CR ranks and likely a servant of Apollyon, Horseman of Pestilence, since it combines elements of a rat, ant, maggots and the fungus that wraithstrike linked to, all of which are verminous disease vectors that corrupt and consume.
In all seriousness, what are these? Will we be getting them as a Bestiary 2 Bonus, just like Bestiary 1 Bonus?
The video that I think inspired #2 bounced around facebook a few months back and freaked everyone out. Everyone's reaction was: "We've got to do SOMETHING with this!" Wait for the time lapse:
Stuff like this will make you never want to leave the house.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Clearly, it's the Pokemon Paras.
I think that is one of the best guesses so far!
Though maybe it's a Resident Evil Paras?

Ah-hah! Confirmation that monster #3 is not a hippogrif. Suck on that, haters!

Neat stuff ... I could see that as inspiration for #2
I thought Monster #1 was a Gearsman or some other sort of Numerian construct.
#1 Intellect Devourer Battle Armour!you win the thread. have a kobold-shaped cookie with sprinkles.
Seconded. That's the best explanation brain-in-a-jug guy is going to get.
Monster 4: An abomination dragon, maybe? Perhaps a hoarfrost dragon? (I hope its a dragon and not a drake. The two drakes we've seen both have wyvern-like bodies with two legs and two wings. I like having easy visual distinctions between the dragon types: true dragons with four legs and two wings; drakes and wyverns with two legs and two wings; linnorms with serpentine bodies, two legs, and no wings; azi with serpentine bodies, two or more arms, and two wings; etc.)

...azi with serpentine bodies, two or more arms, and two wings; etc.)
If I had my way with the artwork, the azi would have no wings. Their inspiration came from Persian folklore where there was a clear distinction between good and evil among the creatures of the land. Apparently to these folks, creatures who flew were far superior to those that slithered, as told by the stories. There was a divine distinction between creatures that were capable of taking to the air by wing and those that weren't. Birds good, snakes bad. You know the folklore.
Of all the monsters in here the brain in the construct frame with syringes is what I'm most interested in. Something like that is just plain freaky. The new and improved Brain in a Jar and Alchemy Golem are probably the best guesses of what it could be. Personally I kind of hope it's the former rather than the latter.
