Thought I should throw in the LN vampire Victae Cobaru from City of Strangers, though that's a pretty dated text.

Also leng ghouls are said to occasionally be non-evil:

Although most Leng ghouls venerate the Great Old Ones or Outer Gods (they have a particular affinity for Nyarlathotep), a rare few of these creatures retain Loren of their humanity than merely living intellect. These unique few drift away from evil in their pursuit of magical lore—while they still hunger for dead flesh, many try their best to feed only on those who died naturally or willingly offered themselves up to the carrion feast in return for favors. While many eventually succumb to the temptations to feed on fresh kills in time, a rare few manage to maintain nonevil alignments.

This is described in a world-neutral sourcebook, but Leng ghouls have also appeared in Golarion (Into the Nightmare Rift and I think maybe Strange Aeons?) so I don't think it should be discounted.

Upcoming movies I am eagerly anticipating:

Alien: Covenant
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Dunkirk
War for Planet of the Apes
The Dark Tower
It
Blade Runner 2049
The Mummy
Atomic Blonde
The Fate of the Furious
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Thor: Ragnarok
It Comes at Night
Insidious 4
God Particle (which is being renamed to fit into the Cloverfield shared world)
Phoenix Forgotten
Flatliners
Godzilla: Monster Planet

Any love for Spider-Man: Homecoming, coming July 5th, or have you been oversaturated with Spider-Men at this point?

Completely unrelated, do you consider the elder deep ones from Bestiary 5 quasi-deities, considering they can grant spells? If not, could you explain what you might categorize them as, or at least how they rank in relation to other semi-divine beings? Thanks a lot!

I am mostly a lurker on these forums but I have always appreciated the courteousness and hospitality you show customers and posters, as well as your willingness to answer so many questions.

The Iku-Turso from Bestiary 3 is based off a Finnish sea monster and god of war by the same name (or variant names like Turisas).

Hello James! It seems you are more willing to answer questions about Bestiary 6 than I would have assumed, so I guess I'll try my hand at it:
Will there be any new psychopomps in B6?

I've seen a vulpix and a ponyta in regular grassy suburban areas. But both only once, I figure they're pretty rare. Besides those two, if you're lucky you can get a flareon from an eevee relatively easily. I've also heard charmanders spawn more frequently in fire stations, though I haven't visited one find out so I can give no guarantees.

I'm going pretty sure Red Raven is CN, as that was his original alignment before the vigilante class was released, but I'm not sure about Aric. Definitely good, I'd probably go with NG or CG.

Personally, I think it's about time there's finally an Evil iconic.

Well, he wouldn't be the first. Both Seltyiel the magus and Meligaster the mesmerist are evil. LE and NE, respectively.

Ahh! That is so nice of you! Thanks man! I owe you one!

Good eye you found that one, I never could :p

No problem! Funny thing is, I only found it because you mentioned there was a Pathfinder squonk image floating around, so I looked up said image and found the crab on the same site, posted recently. :P

They did make Sleipnir, the unique steed of Odin, a species of magical beast, so it does have precedence. Honestly, after thinking about, I'm not sure how much potential Rataroskr has. And believe me, it hurts me to say that, Rataroskr has always been one of my favorites. My very first wizard character even had a familiar named Rataroskr. But I'm not sure a lying squirrel has much to offer. If you want it after all, you can just slap the awaken spell on a squirrel and bam, you've got it. Not much else to add on.
A species of dragons based on Niddhog would be sweet though. A subterranean serpentine dragon wrapped in roots could be cool. I can also imagine a dragon native to the Boneyard with an affinity for Groetus, as they do share similarities in theme. Maybe as a servitor race like how star monarchs are for Desna. That would of course only work in a campaign setting book.

I also hope the oronci (orc fleshwarp) is in Bestiary 5. It's gotta be my favorite one. Seeing the other fleshwarps that were listed but not stat-ed would be stupendous.

I'm likin' it! Not all of my votes made it, but I'm still happy. I only wish the robot-looking construct had won. I LOVE the deep merfolk. All the art is especially incredible, particularly the merfolk and vilderavn. Great work all around, and I'll be excited for what we see next no matter my personal preferences. :)

Last night I got started on a major edit/rewrite of The Choking Tower.

Basically I am cutting a huge amount of dungeon crawling from the Choking Tower itself and writing an extended investigation into the Aurora, Iadenveigh and it's residents.
The chop and change should present no difference in PC wealth or challenge rating encounters.
The aim is to remove the no complexity combats and instead have a really tense, flavourful roleplay investigation that could only happen in Numeria. There will be a small number of tough fights rather than lots of average difficulty combats. There will be sweating. There will be personal questions.

Working title for now: The Voight-Kampff Project.
I'll be posting it all up when I'm done.

This sounds really cool, I'd like to see how this works out.

So I surgically altered Marrow to give a very X-Com Enemy Within-esque 'dark path' to cybernetics in the first arc of Iron Gods.

** spoiler omitted **...

I like this, I might use it. Thanks for the contribution! And by the way, hobgoblins actually are interested in scientific tinkering, especially engineering, in fact. Granted, their engineers and alchemists tinker to create instruments of warfare, it's science none the less.

Hey, I think we did pretty good for our first outing with the Tech rules. I know The Powers That Be were holding their breaths hoping the response for the AP would be good, but now that it's done, and they can reflect on the sales numbers, there might be some Numerian influences spreading to APs down the line...

Or, better yet, how about a parallel "Space Opera" line?

I'm banking on a Distant Worlds AP. Though they probably wouldn't be able to do all the planets.

This is the rundown:
