Yeah, I'm just barely getting back to work on my list today, and I realized my mistake about the Wikkawak when I was reviewing. It's definitely of Pathfinder origin with Inuit themes. Fortunately, I do have a much more thorough list now! Presented here for your viewing pleasure:

I hope commenting on this almost-one-year-old post isn't taboo, but the only other post that has anything to do with this subject is much older! I have a few lists of bestiary entries I've found and classified and was wondering if anyone else could supplement what I have.

4. Baykok
5. Carbuncle
6. Guecubu
7. Hodag

Ooh, you missed a few! One that may surprise you is the Cecaelia, which originated (at least as far as the NAME for such a thing as an octo-mermaid) in the US-published Vampirella magazine. The Chickcharney is another, coming to us from the Bahamas, and the Chon Chon is from Mapuche lore... there's also the Duppy (Caribbean), Lusca (Bahamas), Saumen Kar (Greenland Inuit), Blood Hag (Caribbean), arguably the Catrina psychopomps (Mexican folk-art), and Tunche (Peruvian).

We should also probably count the Couatl in this batch, and I'm personally inclined to include any Lovecraftian monster (in spite of his Anglophilia, he was very consciously a New Englander, and many of his stories were very emphatically set in the US), as well those made by other writers who get included under his eerie umbrella.

To add a few more Bestiary monsters on top of those mentioned by ayellowbirds:

Amarok
Cipactli
Delgeth
Devil Monkey
Digmaul
Fastachee
Headless Horseman
Hobkin Gremlin (Hopkinsville Goblin)
Melfesh Monster/Moss Monster (Golarion version of Flatwoods Monster)
Rougarou
Sandpoint Devil/Devil Steed (Golarion version of Jersey Devil)
Tizheruk
Wakandagi
Water Orm (specifically created to represent cryptid lake monsters)
Wikkawak

Will classes work the same way? or more genereic classes, like in Modern d20?

I would like classes to work the same way they do now (tweaked for the future setting). I would also like to see race specific classes. Imagine a gnome mech pilot that puts him at medium or large sizes with holo shielding ..

Paizo has already revealed the names of the core classes for Starfinder:

"There will be seven core classes on release: the technomancer (magical hacker blending technology and magic), mechanic (engineer with a robot buddy), solarian (mystical melee combatant harnessing the cycles of the stars), soldier (heavy weapons specialist), envoy (diplomat and ally-booster), mystic (caster channeling strange energies to manipulate biological systems), and operative (stealthy skill specialist)."
