Living metal sounds super appropriate to use en mass here!

Living Metals.... Yes, in case of elementals, oozes and advanced mechanical lifeforms. But if you look into some of the creature cards of Magic the Gathering Mirrodin cards, there are creature concepts which have strange flesh-metal symbiosis!!!!!

For what purpose are these classifications?

(If it's for encounter tables, I'm pretty sure you'd be better classifying the Quicksilver Sea as a region of Elemental Earth, pretty sure regular fish etc can't survive in liquid mercury)

The classification is just for curiosity......The creatures of Mirrodin have bio-organic metals growing in their bodies to withstand the harsh environment and adding a hint of magical fantasy.....

How can the following environments be classified?:

From Pathfinder RPG. Dirt Sea of Hold of Belkzen (desert or swamp????)

From Magic the Gathering, the plane of Mirrodin has unique locations: Razorfields - a field of metallic grass (Temperate plains????),
Quicksilver Sea - a body of liquid metal (Temperate aquatic???),
Mephidross swamp - a wasteland of toxic wastes (warm swamps????),
Oxidda Chain - a badland of iron structures (Warm mountains????) and Tangle - a grove of copper tree-like structures (Warm or temperate forests?????)

From James Cameroon's Avatar movie, the unique floating mountains (warm mountains or islands?????)

others include;

- A toxic mutated forest (warm forest????)
- A magical forest with trees that have everlasting flames burning around all time (a burning forest - Warm forests/mountsins?????)

Under what environment type will be the floating islands come under like the Churning Mists and Sea of Clouds seen in Final Fantasy XIV or the Great Floating Mountains seen in Avatar Film???

- Temperate islands????
- Temperate plains, mountains or floating mountains?????

Floating Islands tend to be rocky terrains with shrub and other small plants growing..... Larger islands may have forests with creatures example, that glides from one isle to next...... or walk through plant bridge connecting the islands!!!!!

Hi Guys,

Could you all tell me the list of all tribes so far seen in Pathfinder RPG
of the following races:

1. Minotaurs (tribes/clans)?
2. Hill Giants (tribes/clans)?
3. Frost Giants (tribes/clans)?
4. Fire Giants (tribes/clans)?
5. Cloud Giants (tribes/clans)?
6. Marsh Giants (tribes/clans)?
7. Lizardfolk (tribes/clans)?

Hi,

But here is no harm in adding some fictional dinosaurs along with the real ones......
Ok what is everyone's opinion what the fictional dinosaurs of Skull Island? I think they are awesome despite been made up. The were created to perfectly to roam an unstable primal land that is slowly sinking.

I think Weta workshop did a great job.

Dear James Jacob,
I read that you like dinosaurs. I hope it is alright with you if I put forth some fictional dinosaurs (created by me) to your attention;

The creatures are as follows;

1. Mwangisaurus rex (Mwangi Lizard King) - a smaller yet ferocious species of Tyrannosaur found in Mwangi Expanse.

2. Brontoceratops (Thunder Horn-Face)- an enormous ceratopsian with thick skin and formidable nose-horn.

3. Igneodon (Fire Tooth) - a quadrupedal lizard like beast that spews forth burning acid at its foes.

4. Brutehorn - A large reptile that looks like a cross between a ceratopsian & brontothere.

5. Blade-Claw Raptor - a descendant of the Deinonychus adapted to hunt in the dangerous realm of Deep Tolguth in Orv

6. Manasaur - a mysterious dinosaur infused with powerful magic. A magical beast with semi-intelligence.

7. Smashtail Lizard - A large species of ankylosaurus.

I would like to now your opinion.

Hi Guys,

I have taken into consideration all your opinions. But Threeshades, This is Golarion and Earth (as per Reign of Winters adventure) is also present in another part of the material planes. Would't it be awkward to have tyrannosaurus from two planes/universes.
Even if we consider your opinion, we can take into consider the idea of evolution. For example see "Deep Tolguth" of Orv. Millions of years in vast yet limited space with a false sun underground, the dinosaurs had to share their habitat with froghemoths, gigantic vermins and other who-knows what primeval beastsplus other alien creatures of Orv. It perfectly sets the stage for an deadly evolutionary race similar to Skull Island of King Kong. Hence new species of Dinosaurs but with similar appearance to their more real dinosaurs. So adventurers tend to face more deadly dinosaurs with dangerous adaptations.

This new dinosaurs should be able to equally face against giant bugs, aboleths, zombies and even fiends.

A more reasonable way is to have alternative names for the real dinosaurs to differentiate them from extinct earth counterparts.

Like for Triceratops - "Dread Horned Face", something like that or a tyrannosaurid like Mwangisaurus rex- "Mwangi Lizard King" etc.
Besides more diversity leads to more richness.

Hi,

Dinosaurs and other primeval creatures have long been a part of fantasy role-playing campaigns. So I long for the creation of the book that details these beasts.
I got an idea for the format on how these dinosaurs should be displayed in the book.

Species Name of the Dinosaur/Megafauna/Other prehistoric critters
Native name of the Dinosaur (how the creatures are known by the denizens of Golarion)
Introduction
Habitat & Ecology
Their presence in Golarion
Definitely 2-3 Subspecies/Variants (Regional Variants) and one Abyssal variant.

Example:

Species Name: Tyrannosaurus
Native Name: Tyrant Lizard, Tyrant Fiend Lizard, King Lizard etc
Introduction:......
Habitat & ecology:.....
Their Presence in Golarion: Mwangi Expanse, Tolguth, Deep Tolguth
Subspecies/Variants
1. Mwangi Variant/subspecies
2. Mediogalti Island Variant/subspecies
3. Tolguth/Deep Tolguth Varint/subspecies
4. Abyssal Variant (Definitely a cool made up name, not just any kinda boring old name like "Fiendish Tyrannosaurus"

This is just a rough format....a better one could be made.

In lots of fantasy campaigns, made up dinosaurs are been made with their own cool descriptions and abilities

Example:
In Warhammer Campaign setting, strange and powerful dinosaurs roam the continent of Lustria such as
1. The venom-spitting predator, Troglodon
2. The living fortress beast, Bastiladon (An ankyosaurid)
3. The mysterious sauropod, Arcanodon
4. The lumbering ceratopsian, Stegadon
5. The powerful therapod,Carnosaur.
6. Giant pterasaurs, Terradon etc

In World of Warcraft,we have
1. Devilsaur (tyrannosaurid)
2. Direhorn (ceratopsian)
3. Pterrodax (a pterosaur)

Even in the 2005 movie "King Kong", there are lots of fictional dinosaurs and related creatures like;
1. Vastatosaurus rex (a descendant of Tyrannosaurus)
2. Venatosaurus (a descendant of deinonychus/velociraptor)
3. Ferructus (a huge ceratopsian)
4. Piranhadon ( a humongous fish-like beast)

etc etc etc....

It would definitely be awesome if the Pathfinder campaign have their own
set of fictional dinosaurs. It would be easy to add new stats, abilities and features to these beasts.
All these also extend to other prehistoric megafauna like Mammoths, sabertooths, giant sloths etc and stranger critters.

So I hope that Paizo would release one awesome dinosaur book with above mentioned format/or near to it (there definitely should be variants)
in the near future.

Hi,
I was wondering why Paizo hasn't released a book that contains detailed information of Wildlife (including monsters) of Inner Sea.
In Dungeons & Dragons, books titled "Elminster Ecologies" were released that gave an ecological description of some regions of Faerun. It was good to read and gave us a glimpse of the forgotten realms.
The "Animal Archive" was released but it contained only 5-6 unique animals of Inner sea and remaining only general description and explanation of skills and abilities etc. Still the book was good.
In the some books, the terms "Mammoths" and "Mastodons" are used interchangeably to describe the dire elephants that roam the Kellid realm.
(In reality Mastodons were flat-headed forest dwelling elephants).
One time they released an image of a Stone giant riding a scaly fiendish War Mammoth. Since no information was released detailing about the species of mammoth, I decided to name it as "Orc Mammoth" (from the Orcs of Golarion sourcebook).
Anyway my point is that they should at one time release books that details the animals unique to Inner Sea so that the campaign setting can become more detailed and thrilling.

Hi creators of Pathfinder RPG,

I'm a great fan of your rpg especially for its variety, uniqueness and details. I'm eager to read the upcoming campaign and adventure books.
I wish to convey my thoughts regarding the dinosaurs of Golarion.

Dinosaurs are confirmed to exist everywhere from the deep jungles and islands of Garund to the mysterious warm jungles within the tusk mountains of the north to the deep underground realm of Deep tolguth. The dinosaurs are so widespread that they tend to be diverse like the razortoothed deinonychus of Raptor Island to the ones that roam the Tolguth near the Tusk Mountains.
I hope for a book to be released that describes dinosaurs, both big and small, their variants and subspecies unique to the world.
Looking forward to the future releases.
Long live Pathfinder.

Yours sincerely,
Mukundan
