I'm not sure why people are surprised snake-person is humanoid, merfolk are humanoid.

How are winners (For the signed books) determined? I assume the winners of the vote between each pair will either be revealed early or be in the running to be revealed early after another round or two.
D'oh. We realized after seeing this comment how vague it is. Liz is currently editing the blog to reflect this, but after some discussion, we've actually revised our prize structure to expand to more than one winner. At the end of the fourth round, a winner will be selected to win the signed copy of Bestiary 5. In addition, we will be selecting four voters to receive a PDF copy of Bestiary 5 at that time.
Winners are determined randomly, though if you vote in multiple/all rounds, you have more chances of being selected.
All I can think of is "Whooooo's that Pokemon?".You have no idea how tempting it was to put a starburst behind each of these silhouettes.
Liking your own post? For shame!
Where have we seen the image.Category one- Thought Eater, Deep One, ???, Lotus leshy?
Category Two- Robot, ???, ???, ???
Category Three- ???, ???, ???, ???
Category Four- Brain Mole?, ???, ???, Giant Mantis or Hammer Shrimp
In category four it says two magical beast for the first two but when you place the mouse's arrow on the second one it says outsider.
The animal is a red panda, which we've seen an image of for.
And the undead kinda reminds me of a dracolich. Some undead dragon anyway.
It was in the 2015 Pathfinder Catalog under the Bestiary 5 section.

So, essentially the votes are not anonymous. Every time you vote, your username is present?

Even though many people will have voted by round 4, and I'll have a very small chance of winning, this makes me even more excited. :)

Because you need to be signed into paizo.com to vote, your votes are not technically anonymous. However, our method for determining the winner is still randomized and the Community Team won't be able to see names/user identifying information when selections are made. The end result is fairly similar to how we handle the PaizoCon lottery, to keep the contest fair.
Animal-1
Aberration-1
Construct-1
Dragon-1
Fey-1
Humanoid-1
Magical Beast-2
Monstrous Humanoid-1
Outsider-3
Ooze-1
Plant-1
Undead-1
Vermin-1
So at end of round one we will get a name and picture of all 16 creatures correct?

I suspect part of my problem is my never having been able too go to PaizoCon, so I don't know what "Green Blood on a Black Rock" is.

It's actually based on an in-world event. It's also a PaizoCon event that Adam Daigle has run for several years now.
Its that a dire red panda right? good lord, the siluethe looks so prehistoric. (i didnt saw the image of the red anda, where i can see it? thanks)

Green Blood on a Black Rock is a monster fighting tournament that takes place in the Sodden Lands. I've been running it as an event at PaizoCon for the past 6 years with my good friend Brandon Hodge. (Michael Kortes came up with the concept and ran it at PaizoCon 2009 for the first time.) Here's probably the best write up of the event I could find on the messageboards, though one of the players last year did a great play by play on Facebook last year complete with pictures for each battle.
This contest is similar in that it's a tournament that pits monsters against each other.
It in 2015 paise catalog
Thanks, i see it and some monsters, they looks awesome.
Unfettered Phantom, TOTALLY CALLED IT! :D
Yes, that does match the art for the red panda in the 2015 catalog.
I don't wanna be rude, but the ooze creature is old artwork re-used as it was made for Bestiary 4, but appears in Bestiary 5, I use this picture a year already for my Black Tamanous idea, its all over Deviantart. It is called the Black Oil. :-p
So that preview is an easy one for me personally, Same with the Red Panda which is in the guide.
Ok, i'll choose:
Thought Eater VS Deep One = Thought Eater is my pick. (but if this is shellycoat afteral, then i'm on team shellycoat, but as shellycoat is too good to be true, i'm going with the Lovecraft thing which I don't like because it's too much like the Skum.)
Red Panda VS Lotus Leshy = Lotus Leshy by FAR, but i'm sure everyone wants to see the normal discovery animal for some strange bizarre reasons, even though we already seen the art in the preview.
Robot VS Female Outsider = Female Outsider by far, but Robot will win anyway, i'm sure team-talking bag will use all their accounts to vote for that one lol! It this outsider turns out to be a Aeon, then i'm skipping this round.
Nightmare Dragon VS Kyton = Nightmare Dragon is my pick, but this is a hard one, can't wait for this reveal, as I'm in love with both silliouettes!
Clurichaun VS Another Bone Dragon = Hopefully Clurichaun will win. (if this bone dragon is responsible for the birth of the Udaeus however, i'll go with the Ismenian Dragon, as I wished for a skeleton ismenian dragon, but I also wished for Clurichaun.)
Campe VS Another-Female-With-Wings = Campe will hopefully win :-p BUT BUT BUT if this turns out to be an Empusa, that will make up for it, any angel or other devil with wings however goes to the she-serpent, Nure-Onna or Campe or whatever it will be.
Brain Mole VS HOPEFULLY LAVELLAN PLEASE! (or otherwise some mythological Squirrel monster like Ratatoskr or Muscaliet) = Lavellan will win in my book, but i'm also curious at the Brain Mole, this will be my favorite battle, love them both!
Black Oil VS Giant Mantis Schrimp (please don't be a regular mantis shrimp) - Giant Mantis Schrimp will win, as i've already seen the Black Oil, but not its stats, so if its a regular mantis shrimp of tiny size, then i'm all for the ooze, but if its a dire/giant mantis shrimp i'm for the shrimp.
The previewed artwork is... well not really my thing, already seen the devil on chair, another humanoid ghost and another female with wings.
I'm still sure this book will rule, as I love many of the sillioettes.
Magical Beast B is really there to torture me.
It looks so much like some sick rat mutant, with all the warts and stuff going on, really suits my perfect Lavellan (the most poisonous creature from myth). I hope it doesn't have two heads though, as the picture kinda looks like it has two heads, but there are already many creatures with two heads.

Looking at it close... I think it may have one or more creatures riding it. That's what the silhouette suggests to my eyes, anyway.
could Magical Beast B be the Succarath?
- The tail matches
- The babies riding it matches
- The legs match a bit
- One of the babies has a long FROG tongue, which matches!
The only thing i'm not really 100% sure about it it's head, but I'm probably seeing that wrong.
I'm 90% sure its the Succarath, but these babies riding it will probably be very vile and hungry, turning this creature into a cool paizonized myth creature.
I can always hope!
The fey has a beer in his hands, that must be the alchol-addicted Clurichaun, but its head doesn't seem to wear a hat... I'm hoping it won't be a male version of the Maenad called a Bacchae or some Dionysus-lover. But the animals that rest at its feet make me doubt its a clurichaun, because clurichaun never had anything to do with animals...
I'm also on the team who doesn't understand why the Serpent-Lady is a humanoid and not a monstrous humanoid, it this creature based on Dragon78 wish of a centaur-like playable race? If that is Kampe or Nure-Onna i'm hoping it won't be a playable race.
Outsider B is growing out of all types of flowers, vines and plants?
That makes me curious!
Black Oil ooze, well that makes the tempura joke with the shrimp make more sense.
I really hope there are more dark leshies in this book, not only cute ones like in Bestiary 3, the Fungus Leshy was by far my favorite. Hope Cactus, Venusflytrap and Rose Leshy (if they are in) have darker more serieus artwork.
I also like to see the bone-type dragon, as I was never a fan of the template Ravener, I hope this is a normal creature and not a template, but I think it is as two template skeleton dragons is a bit overkill. So I hope I like this skeleton dragon more! It's silliouette looks awesome!
Just voted. My anticipation for this book grows worse by the day. Especially now that Im working on a setting that I might try to publish.

As much as we'd probably accomplish by becoming a hybrid gninja-megazord, Liz and I are still two people. Alas.
can't wait to see the new monster in the 5th bestiary

I have no idea how I keep confusing you two.
Speaking of fusing together I hope there will a monster or two that can fuse together to create a more powerful creature/being.
Yeah, we need more creatures like Lantern Archons that can Voltron together.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
At least one creature in B5 can do that. Will it be one of these 16? I guess we'll have to wait to see what tricks they pull out during the upcoming battle royale!

There is little use denying your Liz-ness, we're on to your scheme!
Cool, there will be at least one.
So I take it no one cares about my findings on the black oil ooze and succarath? Or are ya'll just jealous on my sharp eyes and google skills? Ha! :-p
Humanoid and Outsider B look raaaaaaaaaad

Forget the sixteen silhouettes. Where do I vote to see that?

Red Panda VS Lotus Leshy = Lotus Leshy by FAR, but i'm sure everyone wants to see the normal discovery animal for some strange bizarre reasons, even though we already seen the art in the preview.hatever it will be.
People wan't the Red Panda because it's awesome. And because Red Pandas eat plants, simple.
PS. OMG! Red Pandas!!!
In the mythological/fantasy/SF world, plants eat simple, small, red animals. :-D
And if I wanna see artwork of the Red Panda, i'll google it, Lotus Leshy is a different story, hard to find when there is none to find yet.
And do we only get to see the Artwork or also the stats?
If the Red Panda turns out to be a dire variant, i'm still on team Leshy but Dire Red Panda is cool too.
Cool, there will be at least one.
What would you do if the fusion-monster turns out to be an evil-outsider, demon or devil? :-p
I hope the fusion-monster is some type of twin-creature that can merge together to become bigger.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the oil ooze actually.
Uhm it matches the picture 100% and the guy who drawn it called it Black Oil.
It would be nice if the undead dragon is not a template.
Uhm it matches the picture 100% and the guy who drawn it called it Black Oil.
I think you misunderstood me, I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if the black oil was the fusion monster.
Oozes can always fuse. Hope it isnt an ooze.
