So, this monster definitely needs a new name. But, WOW, this monster hunts and destroys all types of elementals. This would make a terrifying Div. Its abilities are spot on, but it needs a new appearance and new lore. Also, hide your Geniekin Characters!!!

This creature's lore is far more suggestive of this being a Div. And honestly, we need more Divs, so let’s pick this low hanging fruit! Also, to see the Black Jinni getting some tweaks and an update to fit better into the setting would be great.

Another great addition to the Divs, and the Ghalshoaton is basically already good to go. It needs a few minor lore tweaks, but that shouldn’t hold it back!

Argorth are the spawn of Maggas. Maggas are also known as Mothers of Oblivion, and the Magga known as Black Magga is particularly infamous in Varisia. When a Magga spawns, one of its tentacles becomes independent and ravenous. The Magga must chew off this tentacle to release its spawn. Surprisingly, Mothers of Oblivion or Maggas, have never been released as their own monster. Instead we have only gotten Black Magga. We have a pretty interesting life cycle for the Magga and Argorth already developed, and it would be great to see them finally updated and presented together as a creature family.

Snowdrifters are terrifying and should also be called the Breath of Ithaqua. Cosmic horror snow monsters please!!!

To battle a Spawn of Rovagug is likely out of reach for most adventurers. However, these living eggs never hatch, but are still spawned from Rovagug. This allows Emkrah to be the perfect opportunity for adventurers to fight a Spawn of Rovagug. Also, the text indicates that there are also Emkrah that hatch but never develop into the mightiest Spawn of Rovagug, leaving the door open for Spawn of Rovagug in the level 10-19 range.

Okay, so these are pretty specific to Orv, so maybe not the best option for a more general monster book. But when we do get around to visiting the Darklands, this living infection that takes over mind and body would be a great monster.

Getting interesting and varied animals is always a plus. Especially when they are unique to a setting.

Sikari Rage is a disease that can either affect swarms, affect multiple individuals causing them to swarm, or both. Sikari Rage seems more like something that would work well with the Swarm and Troops creature categories. I don't think we have seen a swarm disease/troop disease before!.

This is a species of Giant Spider, and happens to be the first species of Giant Spider that Paizo made for Pathfinder. It would be great to see this updated.

This species of Giant Beetle is way overdue for graduation into a monster book. Flying beetle mounts with an ancient legacy from Azlant. Why were we getting the OGL slicer beetle when this was an option!

Microscopic constructs that were potentially created on Azlant and that have a hive mind situation going on. That is already crazy awesome, but then some people also actively encourage a Granule Construct Swarm to inhabit their body so that they and the swarm can live in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship!!! This isn’t just a cool monster, this is a Creature Construct Archetype similar to Creature Undead Archetypes. Do you want your humanoid character to also gain the construct trait? Just become a host to a Granule Construct Swarm.

So, both the Tongue of Rebuke and the Wings of Protection are pretty odd in terms of what we might typically think of for constructs. However, I don't think we have ever seen much in terms of what a Fey construct might look like. Looking at these creatures as fey constructs makes them very interesting and opens all kinds of possibilities.

Paizo has been hinting for a while that they plan to get back to the Azi. Lets pull that trigger already!!! I am looking forward to when that finally happens.

This creature needs a new name. Otherwise, a fey creature that leaves frozen sculptures of flesh and viscera in boreal forests and on frozen tundras... this is a horror story and I need to know more!!!

This is an awesome creature, but if we are getting back to mythology, I am not certain this is a Fey Creature. I am surprised we didn’t see Miengu show up when we were visiting the Mwangi Expanse. But hopefully they will show up when we visit central/southern Garund, if not before.

The lore for these sprites could use some updating, but otherwise these are a great addition to sprites. Why don’t we have sprites that turn into rose bushes yet?!?! And they work really, really well when connected with the Eldest, The Green Mother.

Why are these Undead and not Fey? Long ago, a group of hubristic elven artists were tricked into going to the First World where they were corrupted into beings that can only appear in the Universe through fine art objects and are bound to an art object while manifested in the Universe. That's crazy awesome, and these should absolutely be fey and not undead!!!

These are both used by permission only and cannot be updated without receiving permission.

The Buraq, Shedu, and Lamassu are a ready made creature family, and with Paizo taking a closer look at mythology now is the perfect time to bring these three together.

These fiery wolves add a nice twist to a standard wolf encounter. The only thing holding Cinder Wolves back is that, as far as we know, they are only found in and around the Cinderlands of the Storval Plateau.

Whose an adorable replacement for the blindheim, you're an adorable replacement for the blindheim!!! But you need a new name because Darklands Sentinel is not the best name for my cute darklands buddy.

Giant, glowing, magical, night bird. This bird is literally dripping alchemy and it's awesome! Also, its description mentions that it is also called an Alicanto, which I think was a typo, and that it meant to say the bigger, even more alchemical species is called an Alicanto.

This one is an interesting case. The Hoary Muntjac is essentially a magical arctic wolfdeer. The creature feels like it should be in a Peryton creature family. Even if the Peryton and Hoary Muntjac have different abilities, their goals and appearance are very similar. It probably should get a new name, something like Peryjac or Hoaryton would be a simple way to tie the two creatures together and to harken back to the original name of hoary muntjac.

The Xenarth demons have previously been overlooked, but it would be great to see them get additional consideration. While initially designed off the Bulette, they are true demons. It would be great to see them distanced from the Bulette so they stand on their own as gluttonous demons.

That the Chatterer Swarm has not yet been added to the Vescavor creature family is a missed opportunity. Whereas the weaker Vescavor Swarm attempts to devour objects, the more deadly Chatterer Swarm attempts to devour flesh. And of course both swarms are directed by a Vescavor Queen.

Similar to the Divs, this is an Asura before Pathfinder had Asuras. We don’t have an Asura that represents the first Divine spell failure, and these could easily fill that role. Spells that fail against them are turned back against the caster. These make for great low level bosses and as support for more powerful Asura.

These are almost an interesting creature and could easily be made awesome. They desperately need to be renamed Hellbats. Also, they would make great hell mounts. Why don’t we have the option to ride vulture-bats from Hell!

Demons are not usually the fiends people think of when possession is involved. However, these would make for perfect possession demons. And their lore already fits this perfectly. But, oh buddy, do they need a name update.

These are great low level shadow monsters from the Netherworld. Not sure they are aberrations though. Also, it is already baked into their lore that they "leak" into the Universe. This makes them really versatile, allowing them to show up almost anywhere.

Surprise! I think this has been updated as the Gennayn Genie. My only hesitation is that the Jocta was not mentioned, but maybe that will be explored later. Can anyone confirm if the Gennayn Genie is an updated Zhyen Genie?

Giant fire/beast/elemental that roams the Plane of Fire... Yes Please!!! Also, add a large size version that is slightly less fiery that is a domestic breed found on Golarion. Are you thinking The Last Unicorn elemental fire bull, cause I am!

Not sure this is appropriate for an update, unless as a very powerful Avatar.

This would be a perfect lower level Arboreal. If you are looking for Arboreal Knights, look no further. Alternatively, if you stuck closer to their original lore, these are a very minor form of Greenman Leshy.

The Unchosen brings some exciting options to the Kholo that can easily be supported by Ancestry Feats. Kholos who undergo the Ritual; Growing of the Third Eye, open their minds and bodies to experiences that are unique to Kholo. Kholo who undergo this Ritual could gain access to Ancestry Feats like: Foresighted, Deathwatch, Large Size. While followers of Lamashtu consider this ritual as a gift from their goddess and perform it on both willing and unwilling Kholo, the ritual is not unique to Lamashtu. In Katapesh an alchemical method of reproducing the effects of the ritual has been developed. However, unlike the ritual, which slowly transforms a Kholo over time, the alchemical method is instantaneous, shattering the mind of the recipient. This turns the Kholo into a vicious predator that can avoid danger and smell the life force of its prey. Not surprisingly, the servants of Lamashtu are distinctly interested in this alchemical transformation.

Bloodless are incredibly interesting and powerful undead. I am actually surprised Paizo hasn't done more with these. They do need their lore freshened up a bit, but that shouldn't hold them back. Also, they are a perfect fit for the new Spirit mechanics.

On battlefields where mass casualties have occurred, the marrow and bones of the restless dead can stitch and fuse together. The lingering spirits, massing together in their shared trauma to animate the undead bone and marrow monstrosity. Often we see corpses fusing together to form collective undead, and this makes for a nice twist, focusing on the bones instead of flesh.

Croakers are really interesting for undead. Croakers were pushing the boundaries of not so evil undead very early in Pathfinder. Croakers are undead that arise because in life they were individuals that were intentionally targeted by a corrupt justice system. Hung from the gallows for crimes that their persecutors knew they didn’t commit, Croakers arise to take vengeance on those who murdered them out of convenience rather than justice. Croakers are a great example of undead that should not have the Unholy Trait. And they are a perfect option for murder mysteries or crime solving adventures.

While we did get the Ghul in 2E we did not get the Great Ghul yet. While a Ghul is a basic undead genie, Great Ghuls retain more of their elemental nature. This allows the Ghul to be expanded into a creature family with each Great Ghul matching closer to the genie it spawned from.
The Edimmu gives us an incorporeal undead genie option. And we definitely need more undead genie options! The Edimmu could also easily be expanded into a creature family based on the different genie types. Because the Edimmu and Ghul are so different in form and abilities, between the two, we could easily have a robust group of undead genies.

I kind of have a soft spot for these ooze-like undead. The Fell Flotsam is just waiting to be combined into a creature family with the Flotsam Terror, both of which are water based ooze like undead, but with very different abilities.

The name for these undead could be updated, but otherwise gut puppets! Why don't we see more gut puppet undead!!!

I don't know if Paizo even realizes they already have a replacement for the Caller in Darkness. Hungry mists are a perfectly terrifying medium to high level undead. And as a bonus, it already covers similar themes to the Caller in Darkness.

Necropyre are very cool undead, but they are pretty specific in their origin and would be very rare outside of the adventure in which they appear.

Undead formed from those that died from exposure in the wilderness. These undead will hide in your campfire and pretend to warm you up while draining your life away. These undead are deceptively terrifying, and also the perfect random encounter for adventurers camping in the wilderness!

Okay, so this one is a bit specific to the Chelish Navy. But, cursed aquatic undead, created through a ritual, and bound in service to the Chelsh Navy! I need a High Seas adventure where a Chelish warship is deploying these undead with gruesome effectiveness.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Androids are currently too few in number to have large distinct cultural groups. Despite their small numbers a few major subcultures have developed. These subcultures may be the foundations for Android cultural groups if the Android population continues to grow and find new homes across Golarion. These major subcultures include:
Androffan
Chasm
Many-Souled
Sovereign

Heritages:
Artisan
Impersonator
Laborer
Polyglot
Warrior

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Android was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

What’s Left?
Most of what we saw in 1E has been translated to 2E. There could be a bit more robustness in Ancestry Feat options and it would be great to see some exploration of the relationship between Androids and Mannequin Robots. For more on Mannequin Robots see below.

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits
Darkvision, Low-Light Vision, Constructed, Emotionless, Exceptional Senses, Nanite Surge, Repairing Nanites, Alien Mindpaths (Feat), Empathy (Feat), Nanite Disruption (Feat), Nanite Strike (Class), Nanite Surge (Class), Nanite Resurgence (Class), Distributed Body (Class), Living Swarm (Class), Cellular Match (Trait), Alien Origins (Trait), Blood Algorithm (Trait), Experimental Escape (Tait), Nanite Revival (Trait)

Android Culture
Android (NPC), Android Imposter (NPC), Numerian Ascetic (NPC), Eyes of Mind Reading (Wondrous Item)

Honorable Mention:
The Mannequin Robot is the immediate predecessor model of the Android. They are very similar to Androids, however, they replace the Android Trait with the Robot Trait. Mannequin Robot Heritages generally overlap with Android Heritages. Mannequin Robot Heritages include Athlete, Laborer, Recreation, Rescue, Security, and Target. As Robots instead of Androids, a Mannequin Robots programming struggles to understand the complexities of spellcasting. As a result Mannequin Robots rarely become spellcasters. Mannequin Robots have the following ability: False Flesh
Also, it remains unclear if Mannequin Robots utilize nanites as part of their bodily system or if that feature came later as part of the Android model. It would be interesting to see the relationship between Androids and Mannequin Robots explored. Are Mannequin Robots thought of as honored ancestors? Are they considered somehow incomplete? Mannequin Robots also need a more appropriate Ancestry name. I personally suggest Androbot, “Andro” for Androffa and “bot” for Robot”.

General Thoughts
Considering Androids are a Rare Ancestry and their population size is fairly small, I am pretty satisfied with the options we have for Androids, with the exception of Ancestry Feats. My personal feelings is that there should be a minimum of four to five Ancestry Feats at each level (1, 5, 9, 13, 17). The current options for Android Ancestry Feats per level run a little slim at higher levels, with zero options for 17th level. I also like how the Mannequin Robot was set up to essentially be an Android but with the Robot Trait and that many of the Heritages and Ancestry Feats can be available to both. It is worth noting that the Target Heritage is likely unique to Mannequin Robots as this is one of the uses the were designed for on the ship Divinity. This appears to have occurred both before and after Mannequin Robots achieved sentience, but Androids came late enough that they were not utilized as targets.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Automatons currently are too small in numbers for large cultural groups and are perhaps too small in population for even defined subcultures. Automatons are slowly going extinct unless the means for their creation can be rediscovered. It does appear that the efforts to recreate the process for creating Automatons has made some forward momentum. Scholars continue to study the lost Jistkan Empire uncovering new knowledge regarding Automaton creation. The process to reproduce Automaton Familiars has been recreated and this knowledge may herald the return of the creation of new full-fledged Automatons.

Heritages:
Hunter
Mage
Sharpshooter
Warrior

What’s missing?
The Champion Automaton, Master Automaton, Sharpshooter Automaton, and Stalker Automatonwere all built as powerful monsters for 1E. Since the Automaton was initially designed as a monster it is somewhat challenging to determine what concepts for the Ancestry will be retained and what has been laid aside. However, it does appear that many of the abilities for the automatons have carried over to a 2E equivalent.

What’s Left?
A Climber Heritage is a good option from reviewing the 1E Automatons. In 1E Automatons generally were given a climb speed and this easily translates as a Heritage option.
There could also be Energy Resistant Heritages or Ancestry Feats for Electricity, Cold, and Sonic. Automatons in 1E had one or more types of energy resistance and this could be the basis for Heritages or presented as Ancestry Feats that could be picked up later.

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits
Darkvision, Low-Light Vision, Electricity Resistance, Magic Resistance, Telepathy, Automaton Core, Climb Speed, Sprint, Fast Healing, Cold Resistance, Sonic Resistance, Bite Attack, Claw Attack, Damage Resistance, Adaptive Camouflage, Astral Blink, Warrior’s Resolve, Arcane Pincers, Energy Beam, See Invisibility, All Around Vision, Sharpshooter’s Sense, Fly Speed, Arcane Propulsion, Bolt Volley, Automated Crossbow, Ture Seeing, Arcane Hooks, Automaton Sense, Consume Core, Powerful Core, Reconstruction

Automaton Culture
Automaton Core (Artifact), Familiar Automaton, Champion Automaton (NPC), Master Automaton (NPC), Sharpshooter Automaton (NPC), Stalker Automaton (NPC)

General Thoughts
For a Rare Ancestry, Automatons have a pretty good set of Ancestry Feats so far. There are a few options missing, especially for more powerful abilities. On a slightly different note, I am particularly interested in seeing the return of the Familiar Automaton. With the current efforts to recreate the process of making Automatons, creating Familiar Automatons is very much a stepping stone in that process. In 1E it appeared that the process of creating Familiar Automatons had been recreated. Also, an Ancestry Feat that allows for an Automaton to have a built in Familiar would be kind of fun.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
So far what we know of Azarketi cultural groups is fairly minimal. Asarketi typically live in small communities and are generally scattered widely across the Arcadian Ocean and Inner Sea. Known population centers include the Inner Sea, especially around the Absalom isles, the Steaming Sea, and around the isles of sunken Azlant.

Heritages:
Ancient Scale
Benthic (was Deep Gillman)
Inured
Mistbreath (was Throwback)
Murkeyed
River (was Riverfolk)
Spined
Tactile
Thalassic

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Azarketi was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

Whats Left?
An Azlanti Inheritor Heritage is well supported by the Azlanti Inheritor, Throwback, Unusual Heritage, Detect Magic, Eldritch Intuition, Minor Eldritch Magic, and Major Eldritch Magic. This Heritage plays around with the concept that the Azarketi are decedents of Azlanti and inheritors of the Azlanti magical prowess.
The Memory Master (Trait) is the perfect basis for a Mnemonic Heritage. The Memory Master (Trait) establishes the concept that some Azarketi have the ability to willfully induce short term temporary amnesia in themselves. This is such an unusual and fun concept for roleplaying as a character can essentially use forgetfulness to their advantage. Sense Motive Checks? Zone of Truth? No, thanks I am going to choose to forget, and for the next ten minutes literally have no idea what you are asking about.
Note: While not necessarily appropriate for a Heritage we are definitely missing a couple of chains of Ancestry Feats that focus on either the Azarketi’s resistance to Alghollthus or manipulation by Alghollthus. The Ancestry Feat “Alghollthu Bound” replaces the 1E “Enchantment Resistance” and is a great starting point for these Feat chains. Those Azarketi that actively fight against Alghollthu are supported by the 1E Feats/Traits: Slimehunter, Aberration-Bane Caster, Aboleth Deceiver. Those Azarketi that continue to feel the mental and physical fleshwarpping effects induced by the Alghollthu are supported by the 1E Feats/Traits: Aquatic Subtype, Taskmaster, Truthseer, Aboleth’s Lung (Spell).

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits
Aquatic Subtype, Amphibious Subtype, Enchantment Resistance, Water Dependent, Deep Gillman, Slimehunter, Taskmaster, Truthseer, Venomkissed, Riverfolk, Submerged, Throwback, Unusual Heritage (Feat), Aberration-Bane Caster (Feat), Aboleth Deceiver (Feat), Aphotic Explorer (Feat), Surface Survivor (Feat), Azlanti Inheritor (Trait), Memory Master (Trait), Detect Magic (Archetype Feat), Eldritch Intuition (Archetype Feat), Minor Eldritch Magic (Archetype Feat), Major Eldritch Magic (Archetype Feat), Aboleth’s Lung (Spell).

Azarketi Culture
Mask of Stolen Identities (Wondrous Item), Elixir of True Form (Wondrous Item), Masters’ Call (Wondrous Item), Ring of Refusal (Magic Ring), Coat of Shells (Magic Armor), Errani Kamaki (Magic Weapon), Absalom Wave Rider (NPC), Gillman (NPC), Wet-House Emissary (NPC), Ship Scavenger (NPC), Awakened Agent (NPC), Squall Seer (NPC), Eldritch Raider (Archetype), Shell Sentinel (Monster) Eldritch Raider (Archetype).

General Thoughts
The Azarketi have a lot of potential for future development, however, as we start to see more aquatic ancestries it will be important to make sure that each Ancestry feels unique. Azarketi are at an advantage as they already have a fair amount of lore that can help to inform what makes them different from other aquatic ancestries. Being able to draw upon both their origins as people from the continent Azlant and their later alteration and manipulation by Alghollthus will help to keep them unique. Also, I expect that many aquatic ancestries will not have the Amphibious Trait, but instead will have the Aquatic Trait. This will also help to set Azarketi apart.

None – The 1E version of the Catfolk was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

Whats Left?
A Spirit Touched Heritage plays into the idea that some Amurruns can call upon the spirits of powerful cats, such as lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, pumas, etc. These spirits lend their prowess to these Amurrun and eventually the Amurrun can even temporarily take the form of a great cat. Some of these great cats are even rumored to be breath stealers, silently stalking their adversaries and pulling the air from their lungs. This Heritage is supported by the Chosen of the Spirits (Archetype Feat), Shapeshifted Spellcasting (Archetype Feat), Guardian Feline (Archetype Feat), Charged by Nature (Archetype Feat) and Steal Breath (Spell).

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits

Amurruns and Luck: Cat’s Luck, Black Cat (Feat), Disarming Luck, Bit of Luck (Spell), Curse of Befouled Fortune (Spell), Nine Lives (Spell), Luck Magic (Archetype Feat), Channel Luck (Archetype Feat, Fortune (Archetype Feat), Misfortune (Archetype Feat), Tweak the Odds (Archetype Feat), Spirit Magic (Archetype Feat), Limited Calling (Archetype Feat)

General Thoughts
I enjoy the good luck/bad luck options for Amurrun as this gives them something to play with that sets them apart from other ancestries. Although, I do recognize that Halflings and Tengu also share in having naturally innate luck abilities. The origin and nature of the luck abilities do feel distinct from each other, which is nice, making each feel different. For Amurruns, I would love to see the options building up to the ability to change into a great cat as this is something that would be unique to Amurruns. Also, one of the fun things about looking at the 1E options is occasionally you find something that is generally unexpected but wildly intriguing. For Amurruns, having the Steal Breath Spell being a spell that is unique to them is fascinating and raises so many interesting possibilities.

The Azer are native to the Plane of Fire. In Bestiary 3 we see that Azer are decidedly not Dwarves, but are elemental beings that happen to share some physical features that a similar to Dwarves. How or if Azer will be represented as an Ancestry is unclear at this time. With Azer being distinctly not Dwarves they appear poised for development into their own Ancestry. Azer may show up in Rage of Elements as a new Ancestry.
The Chalkost are perhaps the rarest of all Dwarves. Created by Torag from the most honorable of dwarven souls, they are both celestial and dwarf. They are most often found serving in Torag’s divine realm, or are sent back to Golarion as both a divine ally and member of a dwarven clan. The Chalkost will prove difficult to represent as a Heritage do to some of its abilities. However, it could be represented with both a bestiary version and a heritage version. A Chalkost, Aasimar Lineage Feat with a Dwarf Trait prerequisite, and additional Ancestry Feasts with a Chalkost Lineage Feat prerequisite may also work for portraying Chalkost.
The Duergar may possibly be represented with unique Heritages and Ancestry Feats. They are otherwise very similar to the standard Dwarf Ancestry. The Duergar’s most significant variation from the normal Dwarf options is Gray Dwarf Magic which can be represented through Ancestry Feats. The following are traits and feats that also appear in 1E and are unique to Duergar, these may become the basis for Heritages and Ancestry Feats unique to the Duergar: Ironskinned, Blood Enmity, Magical Taskmaster, Gray Dwarf Magic, Twilight-Touched, Deep Magic, Daysighted, Innate Flexibility, Giant Steps, Lingering Invisibility, Tough as Iron, Vermin Driver.
The Exiled Dwarf Sub-Race would translate well as an Ancestry Feat or as a Background. The premise of the Exiled Dwarf sub-race is that they are groups of Dwarves that have been pushed out of their homeland. This could be presented as a Dwarf specific Background or could indicate a rare Heritage, see Wyrmscourged below.
The Relictner are a type of quasi undead specific to Dwarves. Relictner belong to a larger group of quasi undead known as Mortics. As presented in 1E Mortics are more monsters than an Ancestry. Mortics returned in Bestiary 3, however, it remains unclear if Mortics will be primarily used as monsters or if they will be developed into an Ancestry.

Whats Left?
In addition to sub-races there are racial traits, traits, and feats that inform us on possible Dwarven Heritages. Below is an overview of the traits and feats unique to Dwarves. These may indicate Heritages that are uncommon, rare, or primarily found outside of the Inner Sea region.
The traits and feats Wyrmscourged, Breath Weapon, Treasure Sense, and Goldsniffer may indicate a rare Dwarven Heritage. Dwaven settlements often overlap with dragon territories which can lead to conflict. This can result in Dwarves that both despise and admire the power and wealth of dragons. This may occur most frequently in Dwarven communities that have been pushed from their homes by dragons. This is also supported by the Exiled Dwarf sub-race, see above.

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits
Cultural Specific: The following traits and feats are specific to a Dwarven cultural group. In 2E cultures do not receive game mechanics and therefore these are more likely to be translated as part of a Heritage or Ancestry Feat.
Pahmet: Death’s End, Deathkeeper, Sphinxfriend
Desert Dwaves: Desert Delver
Mbe’ke: Cloud Invocation, Greater Cloud Invocation

Environments: These traits and feats relate to Dwarven adaptations to environments and are generally acceptable for any Dwarven Heritage.
Surface Survivalist, Mountaineer, Rock Stepper, Ledge Walker, Stone Shroud, Earthbound, Strength of the Land.

Physical and Mental Attributes: These traits and feats relate to Dwarven physical and mental attributes and are generally acceptable for any Dwarven Heritage.
Low-Light Vision, Minesight, Iron Within, Lasting Grudge, Stoic Negotiator, Magic Resistant, Stubborn, Viscous Blood, Xenophobic, Sense Aberration, Stonesinger, Cloak of Stone, Improved Stonecunning, Living Fortress, Steel Soul, Stone Singer, Stone-Faced, Toxic Recovery, Hard-Headed, Clearheaded, Deep Guardian, Grounded, Spellcaster’s Anathema, Warsmith, Zest for Battle.

Combat, Backgrounds and Skills: These traits and feats relate to either Dwarven combat techniques, backgrounds typically experienced by Dwarves, or skills and talents typically cultivated by Dwarves. These are all generally acceptable for most Dwarven Heritages, however, some may be more common for specific Dwaven cultural groups or societies.
Deep Warrior, Barrow Warden, Deep Tradition, Slag Child, Spell Smasher, Saltbeard, Sky Sentinel, Lorekeeper, Spiritual Support, Siege Survivor, Healthy, Unstoppable, Wanderer, Giant Hunter, Giant Hunter (Kneecapper Training), Industrious Urbanite, Iron Citizen, Relentless, Tightfisted, Barrow Scholar, Conservative Diplomacy, Brewmaster, Stone Cover, Cleave Through, Cloven Helm, Dented Helm, Giant Killer, Goblin Cleaver, Hammer Throw, Improved Hammer Throw, Orc Hewer, Sand Strike, Shatter Spell, Insular, Ancestral Grounds, Brewmaster, Child of Zolurket, Deep Marker, Eldritch Smith, Fungal Brewing, Gunworker, Kraggodan Castaway, Militant Merchant, Ruthless, Sky Quester, Tunnel Fighter.

In addition to the options above there were a number of 1E Archetypes that were either entirely specific to Dwarves or were mostly specific to Dwarves. The abilities from this Archetypes also help to identify Ancestry Feats that are specific to Dwarves. Below is an exploration of each of these Archetypes.

Dwarves and Skyseeking: The Skyseekers blend dwarven ancestor worship, dwarven rune crafting, and the philosophy of the Quest for Sky into a uniquely dwarven experience. Much of the power of the Skyseekers derives from ancestral blessing bestowed upon the dwarves that pursue this tradition. The following abilities are unique to dwarves who follow the path of the Skyseekers.
Ancestral Weapon, Citadel Keeper, Rune-Carved Armor, Commune, Darkvision, Runes of Resistance, Paths of the Ancients, Stalwart, Call to Arms

Dwarves and Stone Warders: Some dwarves strengthen their innate connection to stone and the runes inherent within rock and stone. While these abilities to connect to the runes hidden with stone are almost exclusive to dwarves, there are rare circumstances when Stone Warding is found in other Ancestries. This however is limited to rare circumstances when an Ancestry achieves a connection with stone that is not normally found outside of dwarves. This includes Oreads, individuals with a Copper Dragon Bloodline, and individuals with the Shaitan Bloodline. The following abilities are unique to those who can become Stone Warders.
Blood of the Earth, Power of Stone, Rune Warding

Dwarves and Forgemasters: While Skyseekers and Stone Warders can access the power of runes hidden within stone, the Forgemasters are experts at calling forth and utilizing these runes. Forgemasters also talented dwarven forgers as part of their ability to master stone runes comes from understanding the techniques for shaping stone and metal. The following abilities are unique to dwarven Forgemasters.
Artificer, Steel Spells, Runeforger, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Master Smith

General Thoughts on Dwarven Rune Magic
Dwarves have a type of Rune Magic that is unique and innate to dwarves. While any ancestry can craft magical Runes, dwarven Rune Magic is similar in appearance, but is dependent on dwarves natural connection with stone. Skyseekers, Stone Warders, and Forgemasters all use dwarven Rune Magic. I would like to see the various dwarven Rune Magic abilities brought together in a set of Ancestry Feats. This includes: Rune-Carved Armor, Runes of Resistance, Rune Warding, Steel Spells, and Runeforger.
My guess is that dwarven Rune Magic is Occult in origin.

Dwarves and Stonesinging: Dwarves have a natural resonance with stone, and there is perhaps no greater expression of this than the dwarven Stonesinger. Stonesingers tap into the natural dwarven resonance with stone to create harmonic resonances that sing forth power hidden in stone. The ability to stonesing is uniquely dwarven. In dwarven culture stonesinging is often a blend of worship, performance, and meditation. When needed a Stonesinger can wield their abilities to deadly effectiveness in combat. The following abilities are unique to Stonesingers.
Earth Magic, Stone Song, Tremor, Quake

Dwarves and Stonelords: Whereas Stonesingingers harmonize with stone to call forth its power, Stonelords are far more physical. Stonelords resonate with the strength of stone calling it into their bodies to become living avatars of stone. The following abilities are unique to Stonelords.
Stonestrike, Heartstone, Stoneblood, Defensive Stance, Earth Channel, Stone Servant, Stonebane, Phase Strike, Mobile Defense, Stone Body

Dwarves and Earthshadow: Some dwarves are able to learn to use their natural resonance with stone in more subtle ways. These dwarves learn to speak to, blend with, meld into, or even move through stone. The following abilities are unqiue to Earthshadows.
Earthlink, Earthcraft, Rogue Talents

General Thoughts on Dwarven Stone Magic
Dwarves’ natural resonance with stone grants them the option to develop abilities that allow them to connect more deeply with stone than any other ancestry. Stonesingers, Stonelords, and Earthshadows all develop these abilities and are afforded great reverence in many dwarven cultures. I would love to see the following brought together as a chain of Ancestry Feats: Earthlink, Earthcraft, Stonestrike, Heartstone, Stoneblood, Earth Channel, Stone Servant, Stonebane, Phase Strike, Stone Body, Earth Magic, Stone Song, Tremor, Quake.

Dwarves and Psammokinetics: Some Pahmet Dwarves have lost some of their resonance with stone and instead have gained a resonance with the sands and winds of the desert. This change in the Pahmet Dwarves is known as Psammokinetics. The following abilities are unique to Pahmet dwarven culture where dwarves have developed their Psammokinetic abilities.
Burning Winds, Sand Blast (Spell), Sirocco Blast (Spell), Ki Pool, Sand Element

General Thoughts on Dwarves and the Wind
Here me out because this one is a little crazy. Between the Pahmet’s psammokinetics and the Mbe’ke’s cloud invocations, what if the Quest for Sky was actually intended for the dwarves to eventually live in the sky. And that the Quest for Sky is still happening but just not in the way that most dwarves expect. If, and it’s a big if, this is happening, sometime in the far future a population of dwarves may live among the clouds, just as many dwarves currently live among the stones.

Dwarves and Ouat: Some dwarves in Ouat culture have been able to awaken wisps of divinity within themselves by recognizing and understanding their mortal essence as dwarves. These Ouat can briefly set aside some of the qualities that shape them as mortal and dwarven and touch upon their inner divinity. The following abilities are unique to Ouat dwarven culture where dwarves have developed their divine abilities.
Awaken Divinity, Spurn Tradition, Know the Unseen Disciples

Dwarves and Dwarven Scholars: Dwarven Scholars are combatants that are able to call upon the wisdom of dwarven ancestors to achieve greats feats of combat. A Dwarven Scholar chants the wisdom of the ancients to inspire both themself and their companions. The following abilities are unique to dwarves who commune with their ancestors through this uniquely dwarven form of scholarship.
Studied Insight, Dwarven Training, Bardic Performance, War Chant

Dwarves and Scatter Gunners: The dwarves of Dongun Hold have developed the combat techniques that are practiced by Scatter Gunners. This technique is nearly limited to the Dwarves of Dongun Hold, however, other Ancestries could learn these techniques if they trained in the right conditions. The following abilities are unique to those who have learned the techniques of the Scatter Gunners.
Scatter Specialist, Deeds: Careful Shot, Scatter Artist, Overload, Satchel Shot

Dwarves and Foehammers: Those who specialize in hammer weapons above all other weapons are known as Foehammers. The fighting techniques developed by Foehammers are not unique to dwarves but dwarves are the most common practitioners of these fighting techniques. The following abilities unique to Foehammers.
Sledgehammer, Weapon Training, Hammer to Ground, Rhythmic Blows, Piledriver, Ground Breaker, Hammer Master, Devastating Blow, Weapon Mastery

Dwarves and Exarchs: In dwarven societies Exarchs are often agents of strict traditionalism. Outside of dwarven culture, those who practice the ways of an Exarch are usually enforcers of law or agents of a legal system. It is likely that in dwarven cultures, and especially those found in Avistan, the prominence of Exarchs did not occur until well after the Quest for Sky. Exarchs are very likely are a major contributing factor to the stagnation seen in Avistani dwaren culture, and only recently have they begun to pull away from this stagnation. Although it has been undocumented thus far, there is a very real possibility that during the height of power of the dwarven Exarchs in Avistan, the dwarves experienced their own verison of the Salem Witch Trials. The follow abilities are unique to Exarchs.
Spells, Inflexible Will, Detect Chaos, Fearsome Jurist, Aura of Repetition, Double Jeopardy, Aura of Reversion

Dwarves and Deep Marshals: The techniques of the Deep Marshal are utilized by many ancestries that live in the Darklands. Deep Marshals are the excavators and care takers of the tunnels, mines, and caverns in which dwarves make their homes. The term Deep Marshal is utilized by dwarves to identify those who are practitioners of these specific techniques, other ancestries may use different terminology. Dwarven legend claims that the first Deep Mashals were selected by King Taargick to aid in the dwarven Quest for Sky. More likely, King Taargick called upon those dwarves that were already performing this work to serve in more prominent roles, serving at the forefront of the dwarven migration, both opening and stabilizing new passages through stone, and thus bestowing the honorific of Deep Marshal. The following abilities are unique to those who utilize the techniques that dwarves refer to as Deep Marshals.
Deep Spellcasting, Bound by Tradition, Miner’s Focus

Dwarves and Rivethun: Rivethun is an ancient dwarven philosophy that was nearly lost sometime after the Quest for Sky, especially to Avistani dwarves. The near loss of this philosophy in Avistani dwarven cultures may have been a result of the rise in power of dwarven Exarchs. While Rivethun is a philosophy that was developed by dwarves, this philosophy has been taught to other ancestries. Dwarves remain the primary practitioners of Rivethun, and the philosophy has seen a resurgence and acceptance among dwarves in Avistan. The practice of Rivethun philosophy is not limited to dwarves and has seen some recent growth outside of dwarven cultures as well. The following abilities are unique to practitioners of Rivethune.
Spirit Animal, Spirit Bond, Sixth Sense, Animus, Manifest Will, Parley, Spirit Conduit, Bonus Spells, Agitating Cognizance, Metamorphosis, Spirit Channeling, Greater Spirit Channeling, Mind and Soul, Spiritual Invocation, Spiritual Parley, Wrangle Condition, Haunt Channeler, Contemplative, Trance, Haunt Channeler, Spirit Conduit, Divine Spellcasting, Spirit Phantom, Spirit Manifestation, Spirit Awareness, Involuate,
See: Rivethun Emissary (Prestige Class), Rivethun (Psychic Class), Rivethune Spirit Channeler (Archetype), Germinate Invoker (Archetype), Involutionist (Archetype), Rivethun Adherent (Trait), Soul-Searcher’s Strength (Trait), Anderos Salve and Mulibrous Tincture (Equipment), Phantom Ash (Equipment)

What’s missing?
The following are the Elven sub-races and monster races that we have not yet seen in 2E.
Angheuvore are a type of quasi undead specific to Elves. Angheuvore belong to a larger group of quasi undead known as Mortics. As presented in 1E Mortics are more monsters than an Ancestry. Mortics returned in Bestiary 3, however, it remains unclear if Mortics will be primarily used as monsters or if they will be developed into an Ancestry.
Aquatic Elves have yet to receive a proper cultural name (i.e. Ilverani, etc.) and will need an adjustment to the base Elf stats to include the “Aquatic” and/or “Amphibious” Trait, a swim speed and possibly a drawback limiting the amount of time spent out of water. Aquatic Elves are likely to have multiple cultural groups, however, what the major groups are and what they call themselves has not yet been identified.
The Drow may possible be represented by unique Heritages and Ancestry Feats. As an Ancestry, the Drow will likely use the Elf Ancestry but exchange Low-Light Vision for Darkvision. Otherwise they are very similar to the standard Elf Ancestry. The following are traits and feats that also appear in 1E and are unique to Drow, these may become the basis for Heritages and Ancestry Feats unique to the Drow: Surface Infiltrator, Seducer, Psychic Sensitivity, Defensive Training, Poison Minion (see Fleshwarp Ancestry), Darklands Guide, Sure Step, Blasphemous Covenant, Ambitious Schemer, Ancestral Grudge, Shadow Sorcery, Champion of Dark Powers, Daylight Adaptation, Shade Magic, Drow Noble Magic (see Drow Noble), Greater Drow Nobility, Improved Drow Nobility, Drow Nobility, Improved Umbral Scion, Umbral Scion, Noble Spell Resistance, Surface Scout, Dark Adept, Seeping Darkness, Shadow Caster, Spider Climber, Spider Summoner, Brew Fleshcrafting Poison, Arcane Prodigy, Fleshwarp Exposure, Poisonous Upbringing, Scheming Survivor.
Dusk Elf would translate well as a Heritage. Dusk Elves are Elves whose bodies have adapted to take on aspects of the night instead of more traditional environmental surroundings. These Elves also have a special understanding of sleep and a connection with dreams.
The Savage Elf Sub-Race would translate well as an Ancestry Feat or Elf specific Background. The premise for the Savage Elf sub-race is that they are Elves that see Orcs and Dwarves as despised enemies as a result of conflict.
The Tower Elf Sub-Race would translate well as a Heritage. These Elves spend generations dedicated to an institution of Arcane magic, typically in the form of a Wizard School. This is not dissimilar to the Spiresworn Elves’ dedication to the Mordant Spire. The Spiresworn Elves may have started as a branch of Towersworn Elves. The Seer Elf Heritage also fits nicely with this concept, so a Towersworn Heritage may be redundant. See Towersworn below.

Whats Left?
In addition to sub-races there are racial traits, traits, and feats that inform us on possible Elven Heritages. Below is an overview of the traits and feats unique to Elves, with some exceptions for Half-Elves. These may indicate Heritages that are uncommon, rare, or primarily found outside of the Inner Sea region.
Blightborn is a racial trait that may indicate a rare Heritage for Elves. These Elves are born in areas where negative energy and curses are common and persistent threats. As a result they adapted natural resistances to these dangers, similar to how many Elves adapt to natural environments.
Dreamspeaker see Dusk Elf above.
Feyfriend: The Fey-Sighted and Fey Wisdom traits may indicate a rare Fey influenced Elven Heritage. An Elven Heritage with a strong Fey influence has not previously been discussed, however, it is certainly possible considering that the Elves and Fey have a tendency to share environments.
Lightbringer is a racial trait that may indicate a little know Elven Heritage. These Elves are filled with radiant power and have a strong connection with natural light in all its forms. While sunlight is a frequent source of inspiration, the light from stars and the moon are also revered.
Towersworn: See Tower Elf above. The following traits and feats most closely relate to the Tower Elf/Towersworn Heritage: Overwhelming Magic, Arcane Focus, Arcane Dabbler, Illustrious Urbanite, Urbanite.

Notes on Environments and Heritages
Something that is pretty unique to elves is their slow adaption to reflect the environment in which they live. In 2E there are nine different environments which include: Aquatic, Artic, Desert, Forest, Mountain, Plains, Swamp, Urban, and Underground. With this in mind, it would make sense to a Heritage that reflects each environment. Currently we have the following: Artic = Artic, Cavern = Underground, Desert = Desert, Woodland = Forest. It is possible that Seer is intended to reflect the Urban environment and that Whisper is intended to reflect the Plains environment. That would leave gaps for Aquatic, Mountain, and Swamp. When we see Aquatic elves that should account for Aquatic, leaving Mountain and Swamp related Heritages without options. I don’t have a good sense for what Swamp Elves look like, but I really want to find out.

Cultural Specific: The following traits and feats are specific to an Elven cultural group. In 2E cultures do not receive game mechanics and therefore these are more likely to be translated as part of a Heritage or Ancestry Feat.
Spiresworn: Moonkissed, Natural Swimmer, Tongue of the Sea, Crossbow Training, Mordant Heritage
Ekujae: Sense Thoughts, Ekujae Reflexes
Snowcaster: Frostmelding, Obscure Traditions, Snowblooded
Aquatic Elves: Aquatic Mastery
Jinin: Jininese Weapon Mastery
Forlorn: Human-Raised, Devoted Champion, Forlorn
Sovyrian Elves: Sovyrian-Born, Sovyrian Intellectual, Sovyrian Pantheist, Planetary Traveler

Environments: These traits and feats relate to Elven adaptations to environments and are generally acceptable for any Elven Heritage.
Elemental Resistance, Desert Runner, Spirit of the Waters, Leaf Singer, Attuned to the Wild, Guardian of the Wild, Light Step, Mage of the Wild, Spirit of the Wild, Wild Stride

Physical and Mental Attributes: These traits and feats relate to Elven physical and mental attributes and are generally acceptable for any Elven Heritage.
Perfect, Slender, Creepy, Fleet-Footed, Darkvision, Long-Limbed, Elven Reflexes, Memories Beyond Death, Ageless Patience (Forlorn & Jinin), Disinterested Observer, Shared Remembrance

Combat, Backgrounds, and Skills: These traits and feats relate to either Elven combat techniques, backgrounds typically experienced by Elves, or skills and talents typically cultivated by Elves. These are all generally acceptable for most Elven Heritages, however, some may be more common to specific Elven cultural groups or societies.
Envoy, Eternal Grudge, Keeper of Secrets, Light and Darkness, Retreat Magic, Silent Hunter, Vigilance, Draconic Consular, Elven Arrogance, Woodcraft, Discerning Eye, Concentrated Fire, Elven Accuracy, Elven Battle Training, Stabbing Shot, Kyonin Gate Keeper, Insular, Left Behind, Dilettante Artist, Iadaran Illusionist, Keeper of the Secret Shame, Lapsed Faith, Sacred Avenger, Seeker of Brightness, Treerazor’s Bane, Tropical Botanist, Warrior of Old, Wasp Whisperer, Youthful Mischief

Elves and Brightness: The elven connection to mind, body, and nature allows them to pursue a philosophy called the Brightness. The Brightness allows an Elf to connect their soul to the primal essence of the Material Plane so that when Brightness is fully achieved the Elf reincarnates in the body of an animal living fully as one with nature. The following abilities come from the Brightness Seeker Prestige Class which is unique to Elves.
Discover Omen (Archetype Feat), Favored Pilgrim (Archetype Feat), Channel Past Incarnation (Archetype Feat), Common Ground (Archetype Feat), Wild Shape (Archetype Feat), One With Nature (Archetype Feat), Tranquility Aura (Archetype Feat), Rebirth (Archetype Feat)

Elves and Treesinging: Treesinging is a unique expression of the elven experience of time and the elven connection to nature. Treesinging is not dissimilar to the Brightness in some expressions but the goals are fundamentally different. Whereas a Brightness Seeker seeks to become part of the natural world, a Treesinger seeks to move with the natural world. Treesingers bond themselves with plants, the green, the growing, and the unknowable timescale of an old growth forest. The following abilities are unique to elven Treesingers.
Plant Bond (Archetype Feat), Green Empathy (Archetype Feat), Wild Shape: Plant (Archetype Feat), Plant Companion: Carnivorous Flower/Crawling Vine/Puffball/Sapling Treant (Archetype Feat)

Elves and Calamity Calling: While all elves tend to reflect the environment in which they live the Calamity Callers can use the elven connection to nature to call forth some of nature’s most dangerous aspects. Calamity Caller’s are typically worshipers of nature, either through the Green Faith or an appropriate Deity. The following abilities are unique to elven Calamity Callers.
Catastrophic Blessing (Archetype Feat), Calamity (Archetype Feat), Aspect of Disaster (Archetype Feat)

General Thoughts on Brightness
I would like to see the Elven philosophy of Brightness developed in a way that is similar to Rivethun. Just as Dwarves are the primary practitioners of Rivethun but other ancestries can follow the philosophy, I would like to see Brightness presented in a similar manner. However, based on elven longevity there may be some abilities relating to Brightness that elves can acquire that other ancestries may not be able to obtain. Since a major component of Brightness is a oneness with nature and becoming part of nature, I think Treesinging and Calamity Calling could also be folded into the Brightness philosophy.

Elves and Spire Defenders: The Elves of the Mordent Spirt have unique training and abilities typically not found among other elves. The Spire Defender Archetype compliments the Towersworn/Spiresworn Elf Heritage (See above). The following abilities are unique to Spire Defender elves.
Weapon Proficiency (Archetype Feat), Bonus Feat (Archetype Feat), Arcane Augmentation (Archetype Feat)

Elves and Ancient Lorekeeping: Due to their long life spans elves are able to achieve unique levels of lore keeping that is not seen among other Ancestries. These elven lore keepers become living embodiments of elven lore on a time scale that shorter lived Ancestries could only imagine obtaining. The abilities of the Ancient Lorekeeper compliment the Towersworn/Spiresworn Elf Heritage (See above). The following abilities are unique to Ancient Lorekeeper elves.
Elven Arcana (Archetype Feat), Mysteries (Archetype Feat)

Elves and Arcane Warding:
Arcane Wardens were originally those elves who chose to stay behind on Golarion during Earthfall with the mission of aiding other ancestries in Earthfall’s aftermath. These elves have abilities that are especially beneficial when aiding others in need. The following abilities are unique to Arcane Warders.
Ready for Anything, Generous Touch, Restorative Shelter

General thoughts on Towersworn Elves
The Spire Defenders, Ancient Lorekeepers, and Arcane Warders all provide options that for the most part should support a Towersworn Heritage (aka Urban Elf Heritage, although this may be filled by the Seer Elf Heritage). The options for these three are all unique to elves and all have a theme that relates to urban environments and/or community.

Elves and Lantern Bearing:
These Elves served the Winter Council and were tasked with keeping Drow elves and the demonic influences within Drow culture from spreading. The Winter Council was not without prejudice and there has since been reform. Lantern Bearers now focus on aiding Drow elves that want to escape their society instead of attempting to prevent all Drow from finding new lives and homes away from the society in which they were born. With this reform the Lantern Bearers have since opened their ranks to all ancestries. The following abilities are utilized by Lantern Bearers.
Lantern Arcana, Luminous Potency, Bitter Armament, Superior Discernment, Unbounded Stride, Proven Weapon Familiarity, Celestial Weaponry, Fade From Sight, Aiudara Alignment, Bringer of Brightness

Elves and Lantern Lighting:
Within the Lantern Bearers the Lantern Lighters were tasked with eliminating Drow and quarantining knowledge of their existence. These activities has since ceased and the Lantern Lighters have been repurposed to focus on rescuing those who have been imprisoned by Drow for nefarious purposes. They also serve as sponsors for Drow who have escaped their society and seek to start a new life. As sponsors Lantern Lighters also work towards eliminating prejudice and stigma in Elven cultures relating to Drow. The following abilities are utilized by Lantern Lighters.
Enhanced Vision, Poison Resistance, Favored Terrain, Cavern Stride, Darkvision, Poison Immunity, Stunning Light, Camouflage, Paralyzing Light

Elves and Darklanterns: Initially, Darklanterns were elven spies working for the Winter Council. These elves used the Darklantern Ritual to transform themselves into Drow. While the Winter Council has been dissolved, some Elves still utilize the Darklantern Ritual to become Drow, leaving behind a life, culture, or society they no longer feel a connection with. This may represent a rare Drow Heritage. The following abilities are unique to elven Darklaterns.
Dark Identity (Archetype Feat), Drow Magic (Archetype Feat), Drow Paragon Archetype (Feat)

General thoughts on the Lantern Bearer Organization
In 2E organizations are best represented as Archetypes. The abilities associated with the Lantern Bearers, Lantern Lighters, and Darklanterns make for a great Archetype. With a recent troubled past, joining the Lantern Bearers comes with roleplaying opportunities based on in setting baggage. This gets even more interesting when considering the Darklanterns, which utilize a ritual that requires the Elf Ancestry. When a Darklantern uses the ritual to become a “Drow” they are doing more than using disguise magic, they are gaining the “Drow Trait” and becoming fundamentally different in both mind and body, gaining access to Ancestry Feats that are uniquely limited to Drow. The closest equivalent I can think of would be a character gaining a Universal Heritage after spending most of their life without one, or a gnome going through the Bleaching.

Elves and Demonslaying:
The elves of Kyonin have developed special techniques for combating Treerazer and the demons of Tanglebriar. Known as Tanglebriar Demonslayers, these demon slaying elves are primarily found in Kyonin but are known to travel to other regions infested with demons to learn new techniques for combating demons. The following abilities are utilized by the Tanglebriar Demonslayers.
Favored Enemy, Demonologist, Expanded Spell List, Fiendish Quarry, Improved Fiendish Quarry

Elves and Demon Uprooting:
The Uprooter Scouts are an elite band of Kyonin demon hunters. These demon hunters have developed unique techniques for hunting demons in Tanglebriar. The following abilities are utilized by Uprooter Scouts.
Lore of the Blight, Unnatural Stride, Demon’s End

General thoughts on Elves and Demons
While the Tanglebriar Demonslayers and Demon Uprooters use techniques that have generally been developed in response to battling Treerazer and his forces, for the most part the use of these techniques are not limited to the Elf Ancestry. These options work well as a 2E Archetype relating to Demon Slaying with an emphasis on the techniques originating in Kyonin.

Elves and Twilight Speakers: Twilight Speaker abilities are specifically tied to the worship practices of the Snowcaster Elves, however, they are not intrinsic to the Elf Ancestry or Elven Heritages. In 2E this would be best represented as an Archetype. The following abilities are unique to elven worshipers of Findeladlara.
Devout (Archetype Feat), Twilight Envoy (Archetype Feat), Inspired Devotion (Archetype Feat), Song of Understanding (Archetype Feat), Song of Secrecy (Archetype Feat), Community Domain (Archetype Feat), Findeladlara’s Blessing (Archetype Feat), Findeladlara’s Hand (Archetype Feat)

Elves and Seekers of the Lost:
A group of aquatic elves known as the Seekers of the Lost specialize in exploring the ruins of sunken Azlant. These aquatic elves have developed specialized techniques for dealing with traps submerged in water. The Seekers of the Lost developed the following abilities.
Arcana Breaker, Underwater Striker, Wary Disarm,

Elves and Spell Dancing:
Spell Dancing is a technique developed by elven practitioners of Arcane magic. Those utilizing these techniques are known as Spell Dancers, and blend a mix of arcane spell casting with the grace and movement of dancing. While elves developed these techniques other ancestries may also be able to learn them, should they find a willing teacher. The techniques developed by the Spell Dancers are listed below:
Spell Dance, Arcane Movement, Dance of Avoidance, Greater Dance of Avoidance, Magus Arcana

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Fetchling was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

Whats Left?
A Circuit Heritage that reflects the 1E Fetchling ability to resist electricity and cold is an obvious choice. This would not be dissimilar to the Deep Fetchling Heritage. This is supported by Shadowy Resistance, and Improved Shadowy Resistance (Feat).
Note: It is worth pointing out that there are two 1E Spells that a uniquely available to Fetchlings/Kayal that have not appeared as 2E Ancestry Feats. These are Gloomblind Bolts (Spell) and Shadowy Haven (Spell). It would be nice to see these make a return as Ancestry Feat options for Fetchlings/Kayal.

Heritages
Created Fleshwarp
Mutated Fleshwarp
Shapewrought Fleshwarp
Technological Fleshwarp

What’s Missing:
Close Kin Heritage Unlike most Fleshwarps who lose all Traits connected to their ancestral lineage, Close Kin Fleshwarps still retain the Trait of their closest biological Ancestry. For example a Close Kin Fleshwarp born from human parents would gain both the Fleshwarp and Human Traits.
Id Awakened Heritage: Fleshwarps that use the power of the mind over the body to fleshwarp their bodies are sometimes called id mutants. These id warped fleshwarps often have strong mental resiliency or psychic powers. However, losing all mental control to ones id can prove dangerous.
Mongrelmen Trait Much like those humans who later became Morlocks, the Mongrelmen were also humans that fled the destruction of Azlant by fleeing underground. Unlike the Morlocks, the Mongrelmen were able to maintain their humanity by adopting a policy of extreme adaptation. The Mongrelmen actively encouraged mutations in their bloodlines in an effort to ensure they could adapt and survive in the Darklands. Mongrelmen could potentially be included in the Fleshwarp Ancestry, however, they would need to gain a Trait to distinguish them as a group while still leaving Fleshwarp Heritages and Ancestry Feats available. This would also allow for Mongrelmen specific Ancestry Feats.
Necrocrafted Heritage: Unlike most Created Fleshwarps who were made as living beings, Fleshwarps made with Necrocraft have negative healing and are considered undead by mindless undead. (See Necrocraft below).
Runewarp Heritage: While similar in some ways to other fleshwarps, runewarps interact with magic differently than most fleshwarped individuals. This Heritage, along with supporting Ancestry Feats can fully realize runewarped Fleshwarps. (See Runewarp below).

Mutant (Archetype): While the Fleshwarp Ancestry is perfect for characters that were born as Fleshwarps, it unfortunately does not provide an option for established characters to gain mutations. Some players may be fleshwarped as a result of their adventuring and therefore not born into the Fleshwarp Ancestry. This is especially true once we have options for Fleshcrafting, Necrografting, and other forms of mutating in 2E. A Mutant Archetype would be a great way to cover this ground as a character is slowly warped, and focuses on learning how to use and develop their new abilities.

Known Sources of Fleshwarping
Drow Fleshwarp: This fleshwarping was taught to the Drow by the Demon Lord Haagenti. This is one of the most well-known and studied forms of fleshwarping. Results of this fleshwarping has led to the creation of the following monsters: Drider, Ghonhatine, Grothlut, Halsora, Irnakurse, Oronci, Gomnit, Jashoi, Dreshkan, Mulventok, and Webspinner Cloakers. Some Drow inflict a more mild form of Drow Fleshwarping that results in a Poison Minion. This warping results in individuals that constantly produce Mawbane Poison. (See Poison Minion).
Godwarp: Deities such as Dagon, Thuskchoon, and Yig are all know to impose divine fleshwarping. Either the presence of these deities or the gifts they bestow to their follows allow for the warping of flesh. This differs from Haagenti who taught the Drow the arcane secrets of fleshwarping. See: Deformities of Yig (see Yig’s Cult), Horrific Appearance (Thuskchoon, unique Ability), Mutagenic Strike (Dagon, Sentinel Boon).
Fleshwarp: Fleshwarp is an umbrella term that covers most forms of fleshwarping. Drow fleshwarping is the most well-known, but other forms can occur either naturally, from exposure, or intentionally. Many forms of fleshwarping can result in living fleshy byproducts. This includes fleshdregs, fleshforge dregs, fleshforge prototypes, and fleshdreg swarms. Sin seekers are intentional creations of fleshwarping.
Fleshcraft: Fleshcrafting is a lesser from of fleshwarping. Instead of warping the original form fleshcrafting grafts living tissue from one creature onto another creature. Most places that intentionally teach and practice fleshwarping also practice fleshcrafting.
Id Warp: One of the least understood forms of fleshwarping, id warping taps into the power of the mind to permanently alter the body. There are theories that for some barbarians who enter a rage, the benefits gained are from a form of id warping. (See Id Mutant)
Mana Warp: The wild and unpredictable magic of the Mana Wastes frequently causes fleshwarping as a result of exposure. (See Mana Waste Mutant). The Spellscar Fext is a type of undead that results from the warping energies of the Mana Wastes.
Mutant: Mutations can result from any number of sources, be it magical, chemical, technological, or biological. Mutant tends to be a catchall term from any Ancestry or Creature that has a mutation. These mutations need not be visible or external. (See Mutant)
Mutant Goblin: More so than most Ancestries, Goblins tend to exhibit adapted mutations. In addition to having both the Fleshwarp and Goblin Traits, Goblin Fleshwarps are size small instead of medium. See Adapted Heritage above.
Necrocraft: Necrocrafting blends Necromancy and Fleshwarping to create undead known as Necrocrafts. Like with any magical crafting, mistakes can be made. This can sometimes result in a living Fleshwarp that has similarities to undead such as having negative healing.
Necrograft Necrografting is a form of Fleshwarping primarily practiced in Geb. These Fleshwarps have undead body parts grafted on or into their bodies. These undead body parts become quasi living again providing the host with strange benefits. While some necografts provide their host benefits, some can be dangerous or harmful.
Runewarp Runewarping is a form of fleshwarping that was practiced in ancient Thassilon. Runewarping was originally taught by the Qlippoth Lord Yamasoth to the Runelord of Warth. This form of fleshwarping was nearly lost, however, with the emergence of New Thassilon, runewarping is starting to be studied and taught once more. Runewarping tends to create mutations that allow individuals to smell magic, resist magic, and even consume magic. Runewarping has created the different sinspawn, runewarped creatures, sinwarped creatures, shriezyx, shriezyx queens, hungerer lamia-kin, and possibly the kurchrima lamia-kin.

Other Sources of Fleshwarps and Mutations:
Mutant Eye is a common mutation in Nex and the Mana Wastes. (See Mutant Eye).
Warped Mind is mental fleshwarp found most commonly among those who have been exposed to the Worldwound.
Numerian Fluids are known to cause fleshwarping. (See Numerian Fluids).
Those using occult magic to become an Earth Child can gain fleshwarp mutations if they are unsuccessful in their transition to an Earth Child. (See Earth Child Wild Talent).
Dream Crystal Toxin is one of the few known ways to reliably open the mind and become an id mutant fleshwarp. However, the results may leave the individual unstable. (See Dream Crystal Toxin and Id Mutant).
Spellscar Fever frequently results in individuals becoming Mana Wastes fleshwarps. (See Spellscar Fever).
Breach to the Quickening Haunts are echoes of the First World that have leaked on the Material Plane. Those caught in this mixing of planes can be fleshwarped gaining various mutations. (See Breach to the Quickening)
The Forced Mutation Spell temporarily fleshwarps individuals, however, this is only temporary.
The Waters of Lamashtu Spell creates a fluid or powerful liquid that can fleshwarp the mind and body. This often results in the individual becoming monstrous, however, some may have enough resistance that they are reborn as a fleshwarp.
The Fair is Foul Spell is a curse commonly used by witches to fleshwarp those who have crossed them.
Some individuals actively seek to encourage fleshwarping mutation in mind or body. The Mutation Mind and Mutated Defender Archetypes are good examples of those who have learned to actively encourage fleshwarping within themselves.
Not surprising the Alchemist Class’ mutagens cause temporary fleshwarping. This technique is also used by the Mutation Warrior Archetype.
The Velstrac Demagogue Raetorgash includes mutation as one of their areas of concern.
Drakainia are fearsome monsters that actively birth fleshwarped people and creatures and can cause others to do the same.
Warped Ones are the result of individuals or souls that have been infused with fleshwarping energies by powerful Abyssal entities. Warped ones spend eternity constantly undergoing fleshwarping. These fleshwarping energies are so strong that they can affect any living creature that comes close to a warped one.
The thick oozing substance known as the Black-Blood of Orv fleshwarps creatures into beings called Black-Blooded Creatures. These creatures do not usually continue their existence in a state of sanity.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
We know that the Gnolls of the Mwangi Expanse culturally refer to themselves as Kholo, and we know that the Gnolls of the Golden Road culturally identify themselves differently, however we do not know what that cultural name is at this time.

Kholo

Heritages:
Ant
Great
Sweetbreath
Witch Gnoll

What’s missing?
A Coaleyed Heritage is an obvious option. This Heritage would allow a Gnoll to have Darkvision from the start of character creation.
Flind: While the Flind initially appears to be missing as a Heritage, the spiritual successor to the Flind appears to be the Great Gnoll Heritage. What is missing is that we do not appear to have a weapon in the form of a “Gnollbar” (aka Flindbar).
Unchosen: While not appropriate as a basis for a Heritage the Unchosen does bring some exciting options to the Gnoll that can easily be supported by Ancestry Feats. Gnolls who undergo the Ritual; Growing of the Third Eye, open their minds and bodies to experiences that are unique to Gnolls. Gnolls who undergo this Ritual can gain the Ancestry Feats; Foresighted, Deathwatch, Large Size. While followers of Lamashtu consider this ritual as a gift from their goddess and perform it on both willing and unwilling Gnolls, the ritual is not unique to Lamashtu. Gnoll practitioners of other faiths, and especially Gnoll witches, willingly undergo the ritual, Growing of the Third Eye. It is worth noting that in Katapesh an alchemical method of reproducing the effects of the ritual has been developed. However, unlike the ritual, which slowly transforms the Gnoll over time, the alchemical method is instantaneous, shattering the mind of the recipient. The alchemical method turns a Gnoll into a vicious predator that can avoid danger and smell the life force of its prey. Not surprisingly, the servants of Lamashtu are distinctly interested in this alchemical transformation.

What’s Left?
Most of what’s left is more in line with an Ancestry Feat and doesn’t work as well for setting up a new Heritage. There could certainly be an Ancestry Feat to gain Natural Armor or Claws. Also, Ancestry Feats for Charm and Fear resistance and possibly immunity are very possible.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Unlike many humanoids Gnomes do not tend to form cultural groups in the same manner as people native to Golarion. A Gnome’s innate need to have new experiences acts as a deterrent towards developing uniform cultural identities, even within all Gnome communities. Instead, Gnomes typically adopt aspects of the culture around them, with an emphasis on those aspects that are most experiential on a personal level. Svirfneblin and Spriggan are possible exceptions resulting from extreme isolation and harsh environments.

Bleachlings (was Bleachlings)
Fell (was Dread Gnome)
First World (was First World Gnome)
Feychild
Glimmer
Keenspark
Spriggan
Svirfneblin

Heritages:
Chameleon Gnome
Fey-Touched Gnome (was First World Gnome)
Sensate Gnome
Umbral Gnome
Vivacious Gnome
Wellspring Gnome

What’s missing?
Bleachlings are difficult as they generally impact an existing Gnome Heritage. I could see Bleachlings as a rare Heritage representing Gnome Characters that begin play as a Bleachling Gnome, limited to Gnome Heritages that are susceptible to bleaching. For the Bleaching as a story element, this may be best represented as a Gnome specific Archetype that has effects on the original Heritage.
Does anyone know if the child of two Bleachling Gnomes is also a Bleachling?
Eitoling are a type of quasi undead specific to Gnomes. Eitoling belong to a larger group of quasi undead known as Mortics. As presented in 1E Mortics are more monsters than an Ancestry. Mortics returned in Bestiary 3, however, it remains unclear if Mortics will be primarily used as monsters or if they will be developed into an Ancestry.
Gear Gnome would translate well as a rare Heritage. As a Heritage, Gear Gnomes might have different metallic tones in their hair and skin and a fascination with mechanical things. They may also have a tendency to have features similar to the Technological Fleshwarp Heritage, except their expressions are more inclined to look like gears and clockwork. (see Gnomes and Gears below)
Lava Gnome translates well as a Heritage, however, they need an adjustment to the base Gnome Ancestry, swapping out Low-Light Vision for Darkvision. Additionally they would need a few Ancestry Feats for them to be fully represented.
The Segada Gnome Sub-Race will likely not get translated as a Heritage as it is more a specific location that people are from than a Heritage. The Gnomes of Arcadia and especially Segada may represent Gnome Heritages not commonly found in the Inner Sea. Segada Gnomes possibly have a tendency towards the Chameleon, Sensate and Umbral Heritages. However, Gnomes in Segada are also known to have the gift of tongues, are natural linguists, and have sound mimicry. This may indicate a language/sound Heritage not commonly seen in the Inner Sea (see Word Gnomes below).
The Spriggan are very similar to the standard Gnome Ancestry. They would need some unique Heritages and Ancestry Feats to be fully represented. The tricky part with Spriggan is the ability to grow from size small to large. This ability may be able to be increased with Ancestry Feats over time, with a starting ability to shift from size small to medium.
The Svirfneblin or Deep Gnomes need an adjustment to the base Gnome stats swapping out Low-Light Vision for Darkvision and additional Ancestry Feats for them to be fully represented. Otherwise they are fairly similar to the standard Gnome Ancestry. The following are traits and feats that also appear in 1E and are unique to Svirfneblin. These may become the basis for Heritages and Ancestry Feats unique to the Svirfneblin: Healthy, Stalwart Watcher, Stoneseer, Stoic Pose, Secret Keeper.
Traveler Gnome would translate well as a Heritage with Traveler Gnomes (Wanderkin?) having an exceptional desire to explore. This could further be supported with Ancestry Feats. See Gnomes and Travel below.

What’s Left?
In addition to sub-races there are racial traits, traits, and feats that inform us on possible Gnome Heritages. Below is an overview of the traits and feats unique to Gnomes. These may indicate Heritages that are uncommon, rare, or primarily found outside of the Inner Sea region.
Mirror Kin is a 1E Feat specific to Gnomes. It is possible that Mirror Kin is a reference to a Gnome Heritage. The mimicry aspects of the Mirror Kin feat aligns nicely with the Chameleon Gnome Heritage, and may be an advanced Ancestry Feat for that Heritage.
Snowstepper Gnomes are native to regions that tend to have colder climates. Snowsteppers likely have a connection with winter fey. As a Heritage, Snowsteppers could be supported with winter themed Ancestry Feats. Snowsteppers may also be closer to a unique Ancestry similar to Spriggan and Svirfneblin.
A Word Gnome Heritage is possibly hinted at in the Segada Gnome sub-race. Gnomes have a tendency to have mastery over words and sound (see Gnomes and Words below). However, some Gnomes have a near occult understanding of words and languages that give them abilities rarely seen. The following Feats and Traits may indicate a “Word” Gnome Heritage: Gift of Tongues, Magical Linguist, Sound Mimicry, Babble Peddler, Bewildering Koan, Caustic Slur, Witty Feint, Etymologist, Blood Ties.

Gnome Traits and Feats: Below I have divided the remaining Gnome Traits and Feats from 1E into themed categories. With the exception of the Bleachlings section, these are all generally applicable to any Gnome culture or Heritage.

Bleachlings: Bleaching Magic, Eerily Centered, Wild Speaker, Bleachling.

Gnome Behavior: Stalker, Great Hatred, Vast Hatred, Eternal Hope, Inquisitive, Tantrum, Excitable, Adrenaline Rush.

Gnomes and Travel: Explorer (racial trait), Explorer (trait). (see Traveler Gnome above)

Gnomes and Trickery: Prankster, Rapscallion, Dirty Trickster, Effortlessly Tricky, Gnome Trickster, Charlatan, Trickster, Helpless Prisoner.

Gnomes and Gears: Utilitarian Magic, Master Tinker, Wright, Architectural Ingenuity, Industrious, Master of Wonders.

Gnomes and Words: Gift of Tongues, Magical Linguist, Sound Mimicry, Babble Peddler, Bewildering Koan, Caustic Slur, Witty Feint, Etymologist, Blood Ties.

Gnomes and Fey Legacy: Fairy Catcher, Faerie Dragon Magic, Fey-Tongued, Fey Magic, Echoes of the First World, Fey Fortitude, First Memories, Vivacious.

Gnomes and Nature: Warden of Nature, Bond to the Land, Nature Affinity, Forest Senses, Groundling, Animal Friend, Invoke Primal Instinct.

Gnomes and Magic: Enhanced Gnome Magic, Extra Gnome Magic, Casual Illusionist, Fell Magic, Genial Magic, Threatening Illusion, Arcane School Spirit, Illusion Obsession, Expanded Resistance, Magic Trick: Chromatic Savant, Naturally Gifted, Haunted Gnome, Haunted Gnome Shroud, Haunted Gnome Assault, Pyromaniac (see Lava Gnome).

Gnomes and Combat: Gnome Weapon Focus, Illusive Gnome Style, Illusive Gnome Bewilderment, Illusive Gnome Surprise, Shadow Foe.

Gnomes and Backgrounds/Skills: Brastlewark Businessman, Efficient Packer, Intrepid Settler, Vermin Wrangler, Zealot, Sprint, Artistic, Nosophobia, Knack with Poison, Academician, Student of the City, Collector, Shadow Dodger.

What’s missing?
Cave Goblins or Cave Crawlers have large bulbous eyes, long spidery limbs, and tend to be good climbers. These Goblins live in the Darklands and tend to be less common than their surface dwelling kin. This would translate well as a Goblin culture with a supporting Heritage and Ancestry Feats.
The Kijimuna would translate well as a Heritage or possibly a cultural group. The Charhide Heritage is a good fit for Kijimuna, however there are currently no Ancestry Feats to represent the “steal fire” ability.
Mutant Goblins did not quite meet the standards for the Fleshwarp Ancestry as there was not initially a variation for small sized Fleshwarps. With the inclusion of small sized Fleshwarps, Mutant Goblins can be fully realized.
The Oversized Goblin Sub-Race is possibly a rare Goblin Heritage. These Goblins are medium in size instead of small, otherwise they share the same characteristics of their smaller kin. These may also be a type of Mutant Goblin, see above.
Runewarped Gobline are Goblins with the Fleshwarp Ancestry and have specifically been warped through fleshwarping magic called Runewarping. In addition to physical mutation, runewarping results in mutations that allow the fleshwarped individual to smell magic, resist magic, and even eat magic. These options are not yet available in the Fleshwarp Ancestry.
Shadern are mentioned in Bestiary 3. Shaderns belong to a larger group of quasi undead known as Mortics. As presented in 1E Mortics are more monsters than an Ancestry. Mortics returned in Bestiary 3, however, it remains unclear if Mortics will be primarily used as monsters or if they will be developed into an Ancestry.

In addition to sub-races there are racial traits, traits, and feats that inform us of possible Goblin Heritages. Below is an overview of the traits and feats unique to Goblins. These may indicate Heritages that are uncommon, rare, or primarily found outside of the Inner Sea region.
Cliff-Masters are Goblins that live along seaside cliffs and are excellent climbers. They are commonly found in Varisia along the coastline and similar locations. Cliff-Master is a 1E trait specific to Goblins that would translate well as a Heritage or Ancestry Feat.
Color Thiefs are Goblins with chameleon like skin that “steals” the color of the plants and objects around them. Color Thief is a 1E trait specific to Goblins that would translate well as a Heritage or as an Ancestry Feat for the Treedweller Goblin Heritage.
Seaside Goblins: Although not explicitly identified, there are indications of a Goblin Heritage that are strong swimmers. This is strongly hinted at with the gifts bestowed upon the Goblins by the god Zogmugot, who gave Goblins the secrets of the shores. This is also supported by the traits Longlung and Flounderer. This may also coincide with the Cliff-Master Goblins, see above.

Goblin Traits and Feats: Below I have divided the remaining Goblin Traits and Feats from 1E into themed categories. With the exception of the Monkey Goblins section, these are all generally applicable to any Goblin culture or Heritage.

Monkey Goblin: Longlung, Monkey Goblin,

None identified at this time. Earlier texts indicate the Grippli origins as an Ancestry lie in the Valashmai Jungle.

Heritages:
Poisonhide
Snaptongue
Stickytoe
Windweb

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Grippli was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

What’s Left?
A Jumper Heritage is an obvious choice for Grippli. This Heritage would play around with the concept of frogs being naturally powerful jumpers and by extension Grippli.
A Mucus Membrane Heritage would also be a lot of fun. Instead of secreting poison these Grippli secret a slick mucus making it difficult to hold on to them.
Note:While the Poisonhide Heritage is a great option for characters that want to start with a poisonous option, from the sheer number of mechanics dedicated to Grippli poison there really should be Ancestry Feats that allow Grippli to gain poison use later. For example Toxic Diet would be a great way to allow Grippli that don’t start with poisonous abilities to gain them later.
Note: We need an Ancestry Feat chain that reflects the Grippli’s cultural practice of fiend keeping. This practice is supported by Dark Communion (Archetype Feat), Dark Power (Archetype Feat), Natural Attacks (Archetype Feat), Spirit Power (Archetype Feat), and Unholy Resilience (Archetype Feat).
Note: The Grippli spells Sweat Poison and Batrachian Surge are also worth calling out. Sweat Poison plays into the greater theme of poisonous Grippli and would be a great Ancestry Feat. Batrachian Surge is extremely versatile and allows a Grippli to take on short term temporary froglike aspects such as a swim speed, powerful legs, stretchy tongue, or gills for breathing in water.

Jitterbones are a type of quasi undead specific to Halflings. Jitterbones belong to a larger group of quasi undead known as Mortics. As presented in 1E Mortics are more monsters than an Ancestry. Mortics returned in Bestiary 3, however, it remains unclear if Mortics will be primarily used as monsters or if they will be developed into an Ancestry.

Creepy Doll Halflings are possibly a rare Halfling Heritage, with the ability to appear as child sized porcelain dolls. Because they are so rarely seen it is likely that they can suppress the porcelain texture and sheen of their skin, as well as their dead eyed gaze. This Heritage may indicate the favor of Thamir Gixx and his Fantionette.

Kanabo are children of Hobgoblins and Ja Noi, Oni. These Half-Hobgoblin and Half-Ja Noi, Oni children are not dissimilar to Half-Elves or Half-Orcs. The Kanabo would work well as a Hobgoblin Heritage.

What’s Left?
Note: Many of the options for Hobgoblins have been translated to 2E. One thing that does stand out is that we see from the Order of the Eclipse that Hobgoblins take their Darkvision very seriously. These Hobgoblins utilize darkvision in ways far more powerful than what is typically seen in other Ancestries. This is supported by Darkvision, Dark Rider (Order Ability), Eclipsing Blade (Order Ability), See in Darkness (Order Ability). It would be nice to see these translated to Ancestry Feats.

Most of the 1E Human Sub-Races appear to function better as Ancestry Feats. For example a player might start as a “Gutter Rat” and later become “Imperious” while retaining the experience and knowledge from both life situations.
The Cosmopolitan Human Sub-Race does not appear to have a specific Background equivalent, however there are various Backgrounds that have a similar theme.
The Country Folk Human Sub-Race does not appear to have a specific Background equivalent, however there are various Backgrounds that have a similar theme.
The Gutter Rat Human Sub-Race appears to have been translated as the Background: Street Urchin.

The Trailblazer Human Sub-Race has been translated as the Background: Trailblazer.

Whats Left?
In addition to sub-races there are racial traits, traits, and feats that inform us on possible Human Heritages. Below is an overview of the traits and feats unique to Humans. These may indicate Heritages that are uncommon, rare, or primarily found outside of the Inner Sea region.
A Primordial Human Heritage is well supported in 1E with the Race: Primitive Human. While generally a Race in 1E often becomes the basis for an Ancestry in 2E, I feel that that a Primordial Human Heritage makes more sense. A Primordial Human can easily represent any early hominid while still being considered Human. Primordial Humans may have more physical variations than what is typically seen in other Humans, such as potentially being size small, or having a thin covering of fur, however these physical variations are not necessary. Potential cultural groups might include Neanderthals, Denisovans, Flores, Habili, and Cro-Magnons, although these groups would have in setting fantasy names. In 1E the Primitive Human has the abilities Frightened by Magic, Primitive Feat, Savage Skills, and Savage Surge. For the most part these would translate well as specific Primordial Human Heritage Feats.
The idea of a [b[Disparate[/b] Human Heritage is well represented in 1E. Alternate Racial Traits such as Aquatic Ancestry, Reptilian Ancestry, Draconic Heritage, Giant Ancestry, Scion of Humanity, Throwback, Animalistic Affliction, Genie Blood, and Mostly Human all support the idea of a Human Heritage with a bit of something else in their bloodline. This Heritage plays into the idea that the Human Ancestry can, and does, mix with a lot of creatures through magical or mundane means. The Disparate Heritage would likely be best represented through Lineage Feats. For example a Draconic Lineage, Elemental Lineage, Empyreal Lineage, Fiendish Lineage, Giant Lineage, Icthyan Lineage, and Reptilian Lineage are options for adding just a bit of a theme to a character while still remaining primarily Human. Having the appropriate Lineage Feat might allow the character to select from both Human Ancestry Feats and Ancestry Feats for an appropriate corresponding Lineage. For example a Human with the Disparate Heritage that selects the Reptilian Lineage Feat could then select Ancestry Feats from both the Human and Lizardfolk ancestries. There would need to be limitations around selecting Ancestry Feats that the character lacks physical qualities for, such as claws or tails. Although, it may be possible for a Disparate Human to grow these features as they develop. Additional rules that support this idea include Racial Heritage (Feat), Mythic Racial Heritage (Feat), Planar Heritage (Feat), and Draconic Heritage (Feat).
A Hearthheart Heritage is a fun way to play around the idea of magical Humans. Whereas Elves physically adapt to environments, Humans emotionally adapt to environments. This idea is supported by the 1E Alternate Racial Traits Heart of the Fey, Heart of the Fields, Heart of the Mountains, Heart of the Sea, Heart of the Slums, Heart of the Snows, Heart of the Streets, and Heart of the Sun. Essentially, Humans can emotionally resonate with a land that they or their ancestors were raised in and called home. This emotional resonance provides a minor innate magical benefit. As a story element a Hearthheart Human that grew up next to the sea might long for the mountains because their ancestors lived there long ago. Or a young urbanite may be so in tune with their city that they feel compelled to protect it, even if that means traveling away from their beloved city for a time.
Poison Minion is a not quite universal, Universal Heritage. The Drow have experimented with various ancestries making them poisonous. This poisonous quality is an augmentation that may be a result of fleshwarping. In addition to Humans, only Dwarves, Elves, Drow, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, Gnomes, and Wayyang are known to successfully be augmented as Poison Minions.
An Imperious Heritage can perhaps be the most heroic and dangerous of all Human Heritages. For some Humans the desire for self-actualization transcends typical desire and they pull power from their own inner egos resulting in a uniquely Human experience. Imperious Humans may see themselves as heroes, rulers, or overlords. An impoverished child raised on the streets may know themself to be a hero of the downtrodden, a merchant’s child may know they are destined to run a mercantile empire, or a crown prince may know they are meant to conquer the neighboring lands and rule with absolute authority. This supernatural ego in some humans can inspire both greatness and ruin. An Imperious Heritage is supported by the 1E Imperious Bloodline, the Alternate Race Traits; Self-Made Fate, Heroic, and Unstoppable Magic. Additional 1E rules that support this Heritage include Human Potential (Spell), Mass Human Potential (Spell), Dauntless Destiny (Feat), Heroic Will (Feat), Intimidating Confidence (Feat), Masterful Demeanor (Trait), Commanding (Trait), and Favored Champion (Trait).
There is one other Human associated trait from 1E that is suggestive of a 2E Universal Heritage, this trait being Accidental Clone. A Clone Universal Heritage would be fairly interesting and provide for some unique role playing. The initial concept of playing the clone of another character or NPC raises lots of questions that hint at mysterious pasts or unexpected origins. Additionally, adding the option for an Accidental Clone, a cloning of one person’s mind into another person’s body, adds even more complex roleplaying opportunities. Waking up with the consciousness and mental experiences of a dwarf, only to discover you are in the body of an Elf could provide some exciting roleplaying experiences. This is not dissimilar to the potential results of the Reincarnate spell and I would expect that many of the Heritage Feats for a Clone Universal Heritage would be available to a character that has been brought back to life via the Reincarnate spell. Update This is now covered by the Reflection Universal Heritage

Personal Note: I really enjoy the 1E mechanics that set up the idea of a Magical Human as seen above in the Traits and Feats that support the Disparate, Hearthheart, and Imperious Heritages. In fantasy roleplaying there has long been a presumption that Humans can reproduce with lots of things, be it other ancestries or intelligent creatures. The mechanics that set up the idea for a Disparate Heritage does a great job of establishing this as a magical quality that is inherent to some Humans. In a similar vein the 1E mechanics that support the Heartheart and Imperious Heritages takes emotional and mental qualities found in some Humans and pushes them into the realm of magical. These two do a great job of establishing an inherently magical Human without changing the concept of the Ancestry into being something other than purely Human.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Due to the relatively scattered nature of their societies Kitsune have few well defined cultural groups. Kitsune are just as likely to have extended family groups that inform their culture or to form smaller subcultures within larger non-Kitsune societies. Known Kitsune cultural groups and subcultural groups include the following:

Angen
Hwaeko
Rengo
Souko

Heritages:

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Kitsune was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

What’s Left?
There isn’t much for the Kitsune that hasn’t already been touch upon in 2E. Primarily what we appear to be lacking for the Kitsune is that we need a bit more robustness in some of the Ancestry Feats. Of particular note is that the Feats relating to Kitsune combat styles have not appeared in 2e at this time.

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Kobolds tend to identify less as cultural groups and more as individual tribes. Without strong cultural affiliations Kobolds are quick to leave or join a tribe, however, most Kobolds will not leave a tribe unless they have a new tribe that they can join. Even Kobolds that live in large communities, such as Absalom, will congregate into tribes and live alongside the larger culture without integrating with it. While most Kobolds look to other Kobolds as tribemates, some Kobolds may adopt a small group of non-Kobolds as its tribe. Identified Kobold tribes include the following:
Dankblade Crew of the Shackles
Embermaw Tribe
Glassclaw of Katapesh
Icerenders
Sewer Dragons of Absalom

Heritages:
Caveclimber
Cavern
Dragonscaled
Spellscale
Strongjaw
Tunnelflood
Venomtail

What’s missing?
A Scalehued Heritage would be a nice catch all heritage for those Kobolds that have scale colors that are less commonly seen in most Kobold communities. This could be set up similar to the Dragonscaled Heritage so that it could be expandable if needed. In 1E we see mechanics for Mixed Scales, Purple Scales, and Carnation/Pink Scales. Additionally, in various texts there are references to Yellow, Orange, Gray, and Ghost scaled Kobolds. There are also mechanics for Golden Scales but this is already covered by the Dragonscaled Heritage.
The Bog Scamp Heritage is only sort of missing. The Tunnelflood Heritage already covers what we might expect for the Bog Scamp, however, we need a bit of flavor text explaining that surface dwelling Kobolds with this Heritage are Bog Scamps instead of Tunnelfloods.
Similar to Bog Scamps, a Forest Wild Heritage would help to reflect those surface Kobold communities that have left the tunnels and caverns of the dark realms, for swamps, bogs, and deep forests on the surface.

What’s Left?
Surprisingly a Snareborn Heritage is a Heritage we have yet to see. Many Kobolds have an innate magical connection to traps, snares, and ambushes that is not dissimilar to a Gnome’s innate connection to Fey magic. Everything under the section for “Kobold Traps and Ambush” listed below is supportive of this concept. And while many Kobolds may have the option to take Ancestry Feats relating to traps and ambushes, this heritage strengthens the overall concept.
Note: In 1E there are Kobold specific subdomains for Trap and Ambush. While purely speculative, I love how this suggests that there is a pair of twin Kobold Deities we haven’t met yet that are focused on traps and ambushes. This could also be suggestive of an older Kobold religion the predates dragons and that this is why we see Kobold scale colors that are outside of the chromatic and metallic scale colors that have become so common. Along with a possible Snareborn Heritage this is supported by the Kobold Bloodline feats, Kobold Subdomain feats, and the Kobold specific Improve Trap spell, all listed in “Kobold Traps and Ambush” below.
Note: Speaking of Kobold religion, we are also in need of a generic “Dragon Lord” Deity stat block. This would be similar to the Conqueror Worm Deity stat block and could be applied to any dragon that has been deified by Kobolds. This would come with a robust chain of Kobold Ancestry Feats as seen in the section on “Kobolds and Dragon Worship” listed below.
A Deep Caverns Heritage could also be possible based on the section for “Kobolds and the underground” listed below. This heritage would be reflective of Kobolds that live deep in the dark realms and have never seen, or are possibly not even aware of, the surface realms.
Note: We are missing some of the Ancestry Feats relating to Kobold combat styles. Not surprisingly many of the Kobold combat styles overlap with Ysoki/Ratfolk combat styles. It would be nice to see Ancestry feats that reflect this close quarter’s combat style that could be taken by either Kobolds or Ysoki when appropriate. See the section on “Kobolds and Combat” listed below.

None – As ancient spirits of Nature, Leshys do not tend to organize into large cultural groups as they do not have a natural inclination for that behavior. This may change as the Leshy Ancestry sees additional development.

Heritages:
Cactus

What’s missing?
All of the following types of Leshy that have been mentioned in text would work well as Heritages.
Flytrap, Lichen, Pesh, Seed, Snapdragon, Sunflower, Mint, Bamboo, Wisteria, and Honeysuckle

What’s Left?
There is plenty of ground to cover with the Leshy that have not yet been provided a Heritage option. However, Leshy is easy to expand into new Heritages as one need only look at various plant and foliage options for inspiration. A generic Petal Leshy would be a good option for covering flowers generally, a Detritus Leshy would be a great option for Leshy with a bit of an undead theme, and a Grass Leshy could generically cover lawn grasses, feed grasses, grain grasses, and wild grasses. These are just a few possible Heritages.

What’s missing?
Lizard Scions are rare Iruxi who have double the normal Iruxi lifespan and can grow to size large instead of medium. This would work well as a rare Heritage with Ancestry Feat options. Note: These first appeared in text as “Lizard Kings” and later the name was changed to “Lizard Scions”. These are now covered by the Ancestry Feat: Scion Transformation

What’s Left?
Not much, most every option that was available in 1E has been translated to 2E.

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits
Swim Speed, Bite, Claw, Hold Breath, Large Size (Scion Only), Lizardfolk Blood (Scion Only), Blood Rage (Scion Only), Cold-Blooded (Class), Dangerous Tail (Feat), Swift Swimmer (Feat), Swamp Dweller (Feat)

Honorable Mention:
Muckdweller – This small sized amphibian Ancestry has little known information other than they live in marshes and live near and/or ally with Iruxi communities living in similar environments. Muckdwellers may pull their inspiration from axolotl salamanders and therefore may be primarily found in Arcadia with a few small populations having migrated to Garund. Muckdwellers have the following Ancestry Feats: Darkvision, Low-Light Vision, Swim Speed, Bite, Blinding Spray, Dextrous Swimmer
Similar to Iruxi Scions, the Giant Muckdwellers have transformed into Large Size. This transformation allows a Muckdweller to move equally comfortably as either a biped or a quadruped. Giant Muckdwellers will sometimes partner with Lizardfolk, temporarily acting as mounts when riding into war.

What’s missing?

What’s Left?
Brute – Some Orcs naturally have more mass and height that exceeds typical variation. Brute Orcs push the boundaries of the Medium size category. Brute Orcs typically have a bit of Giant blood in their bloodline with Hill Giants and Stone Giants being the most common. See: Brute Orc (Trait), Brute (Trait), Resilient Brute (Feat), Ettin (Monster), Power of Giants (Sorcerer Orc Bloodline).
Bloodfire – These Orcs have blood that can literally burn with ferocity and rage. The most powerful of these Orcs can even temporarily inspire the bloodfire in their brethren. See Foment the Blood (Feat), Boiling Blood (Spell), Blood Blaze (Spell), Blood Scent (Spell), Touch of Rage (Sorcerer Orc Bloodline), Fire God’s Blessing
Wild-Tamer – Some Orcs have a natural resonance with wild and ferocious animals. This natural resonance allows these Orcs to tame and handle animals that are typically beyond the animal husbandry techniques found in most cultures. As a result it is not uncommon to see Orcs riding dangerous animals into battle or using them as beasts of burden. See: Beast Rider (Trait), Beast Rider (Feat), Animal Rustler, Mammoth Master, Gorthek, Boar, Bull of Zagresh, Warcat of Rull, Dire Boar/Daeodon, Totemic Figurine (Magic Item), Strength of the Beast (Sorcerer Orc Bloodline). Note: In 2E there are already Ancestry Feats for Orcs supporting this concept. Creating a similarly themed Orc Heritage strengthens the concept.

Honorable Mention:
Ettin – Ettin’s are descendants from the pairings of Orcs and Hill Giants and Orcs and Stone Giants. Ettin’s have three Heritages in the form of Hillblood, Orcblood, and Stoneblood. These Heritages are dependent on which portion of the Ettin’s ancestry is most dominant (Hill Giant, Orc, or Stone Giant). While not depicted as an Ancestry option, Ettins are nevertheless a valued part of Orc society. The pairing of an Ettin and a Troll results in Two-Headed Trolls. Ettins have the following Ancestry Feats: Low-Light Vision, Large Size, Superior Two-Weapon Fighting, Two Brains, Stench, Powerful Charge, Earth Bond, Ground Pound, Blood Rage, Feral Savagery, Improved Rock Catching, Rock Throwing
Ettin Culture: Ettin (NPC), Mythic Ettin (NPC)

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Poppets don’t really have cultural groups as the genesis of their creation comes from a variety of sources and their creation is often a singular occurrence that is unconnected to others of their Ancestry.

Heritages:
Ghost
Stuffed
Toy
Wind Up
Wishborn

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Poppet was a Monster entry with two variations based on size.

What’s Left?
A lot of what we see available to the 1E version of Poppets has been translated to 2E. However, there are a few options that are missing. Also, there could generally be a bit more robustness in Ancestry Feat options as well.
It’s a bit surprising that we didn’t get a Tiny Size option for the Poppet with the base Ancestry, but this could easily be added.
A Hexspell Heritage would be a great option. These Poppets are created by witches and Ancestry Feats would allow them to carry and deliver touch spells, emit a desecration aura, and even possess corpses by climbing inside of and animating a corpse. (see Gravewalker Archetype)
A Mimic You option as either a Heritage or Ancestry Feat would also be fun. These Poppets can spend 24 hours incorporating various materials into their bodies and altering their shape to take on the likeness of another creature. (see Nettle’s Poppet - Wondrous Item)
The Plagued Heritage is perhaps the most tragic of all Poppets as these Poppets are created as minor sacrifices to Ghlaunder by his clerics. Their creation imbues them with disease, and when one of these poppets awaken, they must learn how to control the disease that is part of their creation or risk harming those they befriend.

Compilation of 1E Ancestry Specific Feats, Traits, and Racial Traits
Darkvision, Low-Light Vision, Slam Attack, Tiny Size, Agile, Armored, Durable, Fleet, Heavy Lifter, Mighty, Nimble, Scaling, Sealed, Soaring, Swimming, Hex Doll (see Nettle’s Poppet), Spell Poppet (Archetype Feat), Deliver Touch Spells (Archetype Feat), Aura of Desecration (Archetype Feat), Bonethrall (Archetype Feat), Possess Undead (Archetype Feat),

Poppet Culture
Small Poppet (NPC), Tiny Poppet (NPC), Poppet Familiar, Craft Poppet, Nettle’s Poppet (Wondrous Item), Gravewalker Witches, Gravewalker (Archetype), Ghlaunder (Diety)

General Thoughts
Poppets are a great way to bring the trope of magical living dolls and toys into Golarion. Although we are very much missing rules for Tiny size Poppets, they fill a niche that other construct ancestries would find difficult to fill. Because of how Poppets come into being, a Poppet could potentially show up anywhere on Golarion. It would be nice to see those aspects of Poppets that are a little more uniquely Golarion explored. This mostly comes in the form Poppets created to serve witches and Poppets created to be befouled offerings to Ghlaunder. What do Heritages and Ancestry Feats look like for these Poppets when they awaken. While most Heritages and Ancestry Feats work perfectly well for Poppets that awaken from these sources, the options that are currently available to us do not quite fully represent Poppets that awakened as witch familiars or Ghlaunder sacrifices.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Ysoki don’t divide themselves into cultural groups like many ancestries. Instead they tend to see themselves as a large and diverse extended family. As such, Ysoki tend to identify particular groups by geographic location combined with an experience, action, or ability that that area is known for exhibiting. Known Ysoki regional groups include the following:

Belkzen Creeper
Diguo-Dashun Underminer
Drumish Dasher
Gokan Hopper
Numerian Tinkerer
Ulfen Leaper
Sarki Tunneler
Vradji Gnasher
Minatan Skimmer

Heritages:
Deep
Desert
Longsnout
Sewer
Shadow

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Ratfolk was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

What’s Left?
The Ysoki Heritages and Ancestry Feats cover a lot of what we saw in 1E and lays the ground work for we have yet to see. There could be some more robustness with the Ysoki combat feats and especially those relating to swarming should be shared with Kobolds. Additionally, there are a couple areas I feel need highlighted.
Ysoki have a magical connection with cleanliness and disease that is not dissimilar to a Halflings’ connection to good luck or bad luck. This definitely needs further exploration and the ground work is already set with the Longsnout Rat Heritage for cleanliness and the Sewer Rat Heritage for disease. For additional 1E options that support this see “Ysoki Health and Disease” below.
Something I had overlooked in 1E that is just absolutely wild is that Ysoki have a natural affinity with rifts in reality. This includes both finding them and creating them. These other worldly occult Ysoki can inherently play with the tattered edges of the Material Plane. And for Ysoki this is explained by and embraced through the philosophy of Ranatagi. The Shadow Rat Heritage plays nicely with this concept, but it would also be nice to see a Heritage that utilized the concept of the Bauble Fascination Trait to support this concept as well. See “Ysoki and the Other Worldly” below for additional details.

Ysoki Physical and Mental Qualities
Darkvision, Surface Sprinter, Cheek Pouches, Rodent Empathy, Market Dweller, Scent, Skulk, Sharpclaw (Feat), Sharptooth (Feat), Scamper (Trait), Gnawer (Feat), Pack Rat (Feat), Burrowing Teeth (Feat), Tunnel Rat (Feat), Duplicitious (Archetype Feat),

General Thoughts
I can’t get over Ranatagi and the idea that Ysoki are innately attuned to the fabric of reality and some have the ability to tear at realities frayed edges. This really gives Ysoki something very unique to their ancestry. Also, I hope to see some of the cramped combat techniques of Ysoki shared between them and Kobolds as these options are an easy way to expand ancestry options for both ancestries.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
Skeletons do not form cultural groups of their own. As undead they are largely influenced by the culture to which they belonged when they were among the living. Since undead are typically dangerous to the living, most Skeletons are forced to live on the fringes of the culture to which they once belonged.

Heritages:
Compact
Fodder
Monstrous
Sturdy

What’s missing?
Bloody Skeleton: The bones of these Skeletons contain marrow that continues to produce a bloody gore that allows them to heal faster than most Skeletons.
Burning Skeleton: These skeletons appeared charred and burnt. They are warm to the touch and can ignite themselves, bursting into flames.
Mudra Skeleton: During animation these skeletons had an additional pair of arms added to their skeletal frames. Since this modification was not a natural part of the base skeleton, these Skeletons have limited use these additional arms. However, these additional arms make Mudra Skeletons excellent grapplers.

What’s Left?
This is a bit challenging as Skeletons were primarily treated as disposable undead in 1E. However, there are a few spells, magic items, and other such things that in hindsight fit perfectly for Skeletons.
Decompose Corpse (Spell): This spells allows a Skeleton to quickly decompose the flesh and innards of a corpse allowing the Skeleton to quickly access the bones.
Skeleton Crew (Spell): This spell quickly decomposes a group a corpses. While most often used to create a skeletal ship’s crew, this spell could be used to create a small labor force for other tasks, such as running an Inn or farming.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
As fey, sprites typically do not form cultural groups in any real sense that most of the peoples of Golarion would recognize. Sprites behave in accordance to their fey nature and experience little influence from the culture that surrounds them. Even within sprite communities each sprite is far more influenced by their internal nature than by any collective cultural practices or norms. As such there are no identified sprite cultural groups at this time.

Heritages:
Draxie
Grig
Luminous
Melixie
Nyktera

What’s missing?
Of all the Sprites, Rosebloods tend be the cruelest in their capriciousness. Rosebloods are most often found in the service of the Fey Eldest known as the Green Mother. Rosebloods are small sized and cannot fly. They have the ability to take the form of a small thorny rosebush.

What’s Left?
There could generally be some more robustness in the Ancestry Feats for Sprites, especially feats for the various spell like abilities that some of the Sprites had in 1E. Otherwise, we do see a lot of the options for Sprits from 1E already translated to 2E.

Detect Evil, Detect Good, Low-Light Vision, Damage Reduction, Fly Speed, Luminous, Immune Sleep, Daze, Prestidigitation, Repartee, Versatile Performance, Poison Thorns, Rose Form, Woodland Stride, Small Size, Detect Chaos, Detect Law, Invisibility, Special Arrows: Charm/Sleep/Memory Loss, Fiddle, Dark Vision, Immune Paralysis, Bite Attack, Breath Weapon, Dancing Lights, Flare, Ghost Sound, Mage Hand, Open/Close

Sprite Culture
Sprite (NPC), Sprite Swarm, Liminal Sprite (NPC), Roseblood Sprite (NPC), Grig (NPC), Pixie (NPC), Faerie Dragon (NPC), Sprite (Pet)

Honorable Mention:
The Atomie are not specifically identified as Sprites in 1E, however, some groups do consider them as part of the Sprite family. We have yet to see Atomie appear in 2E so it remains unclear if the will be included as part of the Sprite family. Atomie Ancestry Feats not see in other Sprites include: Speak with Animals and Reduce Person.

Cultural Groups that have appeared in text thus far:
While there are certainly Strix cultural groups that lie beyond the Inner Sea where Strix are more numerous, the Strix of the Inner Sea comprise a singular cultural group. I could not locate a cultural name of the Inner Sea Strix at this time. The Inner Sea Strix have very slowly started to divide into subcultural groups that are largely defined by location. These subcultural groups include the following:

Cheliaxian Strix
Minddpin Strix
Nidalese Strix
Ravounelian Strix

Heritages:
Nightglider
Predator
Scavenger
Shoreline
Songbird

What’s missing?
None – The 1E version of the Strix was a singular Race with no Sub-Races and no alternate monstrous versions.

What’s Left?
Most of what we see in 1E has been translated to 2E. The robustness of Strix Ancestry Feats is certainly lacking without a single 17th level Ancestry Feat. One thing that does stand out is just how strong Strix wings are combat and flight. Seeing more options to support this would be great.

Heritages:
Jinxed

Dogtooth

No Equivalent:
None – No Sub-Races previously identified. With no previous mechanic based Sub-Races the best we can do is look at the “Racial Traits, Alternate Racial Traits and Feats” and similar options specific to Tengu in 1st Edition. These include the following:

What’s missing?
There are racial traits, traits, feats, spells, archetypes, and monsters that inform us on possible Tengu Heritages. Below is an overview of the traits and feats and other options unique to Tengu. These may indicate Heritages that are uncommon, rare, or primarily found outside of the Inner Sea region.
Daitengu in 1E are Native Outsiders. In 2E, Daitengu could become a rare Tengu Heritage, however, this would need supported with Ancestry Feats specific to Daitengu.
The Dire Corby fits well as a Tengu Heritage that has adapted to the Darklands. However, we know that Dire Corby already have different heritages in the form of Dread Corby, Ghost Corby, Ghoul Corby, and Winged Corby. I think this could easily be explained by stating that in the Darklands Tengu are known as Corby. Similar to how Drow have both the Elf Trait and Drow Trait, Corby would have both the Tengu Trait and Corby Trait. This would open the possibility for there to be Heritages that are unique to the Darklands’ Corby. A couple of unique Ancestry Feats are needed to fully represent a Corby Ancestry.

What’s left?
A Carrion Heritage is supported by Carrion Sense, Carrion Feeder, Blood Beak, and Raven Form. This heritage would fit nicely in a horror themed book.
Of the remaining feats, traits, spells, archetypes, etc. they generally work well as Tengu Ancestry Feats for the Heritages already available in 2E.

Dusk Elf would translate well as a Heritage. Dusk Elves are Elves whose bodies have adapted to take on aspects of the night instead of more traditional environmental surroundings.
Aquatic Elves have yet to receive a proper cultural name (i.e. Ilverani, etc.) and will need an adjustment to the base Elf stats to include the “Aquatic” and/or “Amphibious” Trait, a swim speed and possibly a drawback limiting the amount of time spent out of water.
The Tower Elf Sub-Race translates well as an Ancestry Feat.

First World Gnomes will need the “Fey” Trait and rules clearly stating they do not die in the traditional sense when on the First World Plane and explains what does happen.
The Svirfneblin (Deep Gnomes) need an adjustment to the base Gnome stats swapping out “Low-Light Vision” for “Darkvision” and a few Ancestry Feats for them to be fully represented.
The Spriggan needs a few Ancestry Feats for them to be fully represented.
The Segada Gnome Sub-Race will likely not get translated as a Heritage as it is more a specific location that people are from than a Heritage.
Traveler Gnome would translate well as an Ancestry Feat.
Gear Gnome would translate well as either a Heritage or an Ancestry Feat. As a Heritage I could see Gear Gnomes having different metallic tones in their hair and skin and a fascination with mechanical things.
Lava Gnome translates well as a Heritage, however, they need an adjustment to the base Gnome stats swapping out “Low-Light Vision” for “Darkvision” and a few Ancestry Feats for them to be fully represented.
And finally Bleachlings, which are a bit more difficult. I could see Bleachlings as either a Heritage that is allowed as a second Heritage, or as a Heritage that replaces the original Heritage (limited to Gnome Heritages that are susceptible to bleaching).
