Wow... Is this the bestiary chapter opener? Such a terrible fate...
A shapechanger that has two alignments? Color me intrigued.

I just like the Qlippoth chapter art myself. ;)
Quick cast DM intervention!
Isn’t the xiomorn already in the emerald spire superdungeon bestiary?
Yes, now normal folk can see it too.

I do like the new 0HD races.
At first glance, the picture makes it look like Sajan is opening a book to see what on earth this mob of squishy weirdos is...
Archon, Bastion CR 20 LG Huge outsider (archon, extraplanar, good, lawful)
THANK YOU! I was wondering when we would get the powerful archon :D !
Sirrush CR 21 NG Gargantuan dragon (extraplanar, good)
Huh... call me old, but... wasn't there a Sirrush in the Epic Level Guidebook with looked like a scaled panther which was hunting dragons :p ?
Kind of sad they didn't do anything with special crafting options for Planar Magical and Mundane items. :(
What exactly are the 3 creatures in that picture? Or do they not correspond w/ existing creatures and are meant more for mood?
Also, yes, the Sirrush was in the 3.0 Epic Level Handbook. I think James explained in another thread why it was being used. My guess is that it's a mythological name, so they didn't need to worry about WOTC IP for reframing it into something else.
SapphireOoze, a Chaotic Good ooze. The most friendly blueberry jam you'll ever meet. I'm curious about this one, we don't see a whole lot of intelligent oozes, and a good one is even more unusual. I actually can't find any. So sounds like it'll be an interesting critter. CR 2, so maybe available as an advanced familiar, that could be fun. Although the medium size says probably not.

They're all qlippoth from Bestiary 2. The black ones on the ground are Chernobue. The really big ones are Augnagar. And the flying critters are Nyogoth. CRs are 12, 14 and 10 respectively. So our heroes are in for a rough fight.
I recognized the Chernobue right off the bat (although not it's name), because we had one as a prominent and eccentric NPC in our Wrath of the Righteous game.

Oh, wow. That picture is so awesome! I am going to have to go look for more of Setiawan Lie's artwork now. That is just frighteningly beautiful!

Funny story: this is actually kinda similar to my original design for the utukku qlippoth (Bestiary 6). ^_^

Sapphire oozes are definitely good friends to have around!
...bloop. ^_^

Setiawan does work! Setiawan did the covers for the Ruins of Azlant Adventure Path, the cover for the Doomsday Dawn playtest adventure, many of the half-page illustrations in the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path Hardcover, the cover for Planes of Power, the cover for Seers of the Drowned City, the cover for Gallows of Madness, and so much more. You can find more work on ArtStation. Easily one of my favorite illustrators.

Very cool, we don't see a lot of qlippoth art. Thanks for the story bit as well.

Ok, now I'm really curious.
EDIT: Went and read their entry. Oh yeah, I can see the similarity. A darker version, but certainly a similar idea. I just emailed the GM to let him know that great minds think alike. :)| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |

Now I'm imagining them changing into useful items when you feed them the right jelly-bean...

Just realized that Nyogoth look like Corrupters from StarCraft 2 . . . They even have at-will Acid Arrow to sort of fit the role . . . .

That's cool . . . and only surprising in that it hasn't appeared more often.
This looks like a good lineup of monsters for Pathfinder 1's last hardcover. We might not be getting another bestiary, but we're definitely going out with a bang. Looking forward to Leviathan and the sirrush myself.
*checks out illustration* Someone watched a lot of Stranger Things I see.

Can you include the HD too. Planar binders are eager to know.
If I recall correctly...
