Sprites are Diminutive. "This lithe, diminutive creature looks like a humanoid with wispy, mothlike wings and long, thin ears." is the descriptive text. The spite in the picture has long ears, wild hair, face and body paint, a pointed twig or thorn as a weapon, and clothes made from leaves and plant parts. I think the sprite's wings look like leaves in the picture provided, which is kind of cool. Sprites have Constant Detect Good/Evil, At will Dancing Lights/Daze, 1/day Color Spray, Perfect Flight, Low-Light vision, DR 2/ Cold Iron, and are Luminous (able to shift color and intensity). Sprites can be taken as familiars by CN spellcasters that are Level 5 or higher.
Atomies are CR 1; there isn't an option to use them as familiars.
Did they change or add any abilities the Nixie had from bonus beastairy version?
Darn we can't get Atomies as familiars.
Looks like the sprites lost the ability to become invisible but I gues they had to if they were going to be a familiar. Though they still sound like a CR1/2 to me.
What in opinion are the top 5 artwork for the monsters?
What in opinion are the top 5 coolest monsters?
So ther is a new artwork for the Allip, cool.
Did the Tetzlwyrm, Peluda, or Hodag make it into the book?
What are all the Fey creatures that are in the Beastairy 3?

Bandersnatch, Boogeyman(mainly because he looks like a Jaeger from Girl Genius), Catfolk, Ghul, Fossil Golem win for me the best art slots though in no particular order.
Coolest monsters eh I can't really say as I haven't read indepth and won't till I get my physical copy (300+ pages on a computer screen is painful) but Zoog is up there for me for sure.
Tetzlwyrm and Hodag made the cut Peluda did not.

* Did they change or add any abilities the Nixie had from bonus beastairy version?
No, but they added an evil variant called the Bog Nixie that is CR 3 and has Captivating Song, Change Shape, and Minor Wish.
* So ther is a new artwork for the Allip, cool.
It appeared as the artwork for the example Allip in Undead Revisited if you had that.
* Did the Tetzlwyrm, Peluda, or Hodag make it into the book?
Tatzlwyrm and Hodag, yes. Peluda, no.
* Coolest / best looking monsters
I'll get back to you a bit later on that one. There's a lot of interesting monsters here. The artwork by and large is very good, making it hard to pick 5 pieces in particular that stand out. 'Fossil Golem' is an initial standout in my mind, primarily because of the T-Rex-skull-hands.
Are Tanuki in Bestiary 3? If so, are they playable as PCs?

Yes, and No
How did the Norns turn out ???
|

Norns are pretty awesome. They're CR 18 Fey. They cat cut the threads of someone's life (20d6 untyped damage with a Fort save for half), preventing resurrection without Miracle or Wish if they kill you with it. They also have some fate manipulation, magic shears, and a fairly good assortment of magic powers.
What are all the Fey type creatures that made into the book?
I know about the Atomie, Sprite, Norns, and the one new gremlin.

Creatures with the fey subtype are listed as bogeyman, cold rider, faun, fey giant toad, fuath, nuckelavee, rusalka plus the ones you named already.
So for Fey there are:
1)Nixie
2)Atomie
3)Sprite
4)Gremlin,Fuath
5)Rusalka
6)Norns
7)Faun
8)Nuckelavee
9)Bogeyman
10)Cold Rider
11)Fey template
Is the fey template like the celestial or fiedish template in power or is it more powerful?
|
Now that Bestiary 3 is out it is time to plan Bestiary 4. I have a request for a new template that can be added to any creature. How about a Mummy Template?
Just like any creature can become a skeleton through foul magic, someone has to prep a body and cast create undead to create a mummy. This should be able to apply to any creature someone wants to make into an undead guardian.

AWSOME.....
Do the Cold Rider fey have anything to do with the cold fey of Irresen ?

There is no mention of Irresen in their text.
Is the fey template like the celestial or fiedish template in power or is it more powerful?
I'd say slightly more powerful as it gains a variety of abilities based on its HD including DR, low light vision, gains a fly speed (or improves it if existing), gains an ability tree that improves with HD, gains spell like abilities based on HD, gets bonuses to Dexterity, charisma and Intelligence as well as a skill points pool and languages. The downside is a reduction in Natural armor and a small penalty to strength.
If I recall correctly, the cold rider is reprinted from a 3.5 adventure where they were, yes, created by the winter witches of Irrisen.
So what are the asian monsters that got in?
I know about the Tanuki, Kappa, Kirin, Yuki-onna and that there are Oni.
I was hoping that ether the Tanuki or the Kappa would be Fey.
Sounds like an interesting template that is more like the half-celestial/fiend/dragon templates, thanks for the info atheral.
Are there any celestials except for the Archon familiar one?

*Are there any celestials except for the Archon familiar one?
Legion Archon, Peri (though the Peri is native)
*So what are the asian monsters that got in?
5 Imperial Dragons
5 Kami
Shinigami
Baku
Foo Creatures
Jorogumo
Nue
If you're counting Indian stuff in the Asian category:
5 Rakshahsa
2 Nagas
5 Asuras
Garuda
There's also the Humbaba, which I think is technically from somewhere in Asia.
That's just from a glance. I may have missed some or miscounted a bit.
Sweet Baku, Nue and Jorogumo.
Wow 5 new types of rakshasa.
Cool 2 new Nagas one being the Royal Naga from one of the APs.
Thanks Lord Gadigan.
Humbaba is from the story of Gilgamesh.
The wait is killing me! I check email every 5 minutes to see if my subscription shipped yet agrgh!

But...what's with the kung fu panda? That one's maybe a bridge too far! :)

I assume you mean this guy
The depiction is similar to the stylized (very) statues but bears little resembles to the actual real world animal. This makes me somewhat sad as the actual beastie is, I think, every bit as cool as their mythlogical counterpart.
Hopefully the next Beastairy will have the Cheshire Cat, Mome raths, and Borogoves.
Thanks for the Familiar info Kvantum.
What are the new types of Drakes?
Are there any dragons other then the Imperials, Linnorms, Drakes, Faerie dragon, Gorynych, and Tetzlwyrm?
So what are the CR20+ monsters?

Not quite, but they would both have a fight on their hands. Just one example as a full round action the hekatonkheires can make four attacks starting at +38 dealing 6d6+22 , this attack hits any creature with in its 30ft reach and damage is epic and evil typed. These are weapon attacks, all weapons held by the hekatonkheries (has 100 hands by the way) count as +3 enhanced.
err edit on the damage was reading hp lines...*embarrassed silence*
Puts on evil gm grin*smile*
Well, I would love to get a copy of them. Word works.Well, since there's two of you who's asked for it now - give me a few days to make it complete (some of the Kingmaker stuff hasn't been added yet because... I was lazy around that time, I guess) - and once I have somewhere to e-mail it, it'll be in your mailbox.
And my e-mail (which is good to know if you want to send me one) can be found in my profile.

Do the Cold Rider fey have anything to do with the cold fey of Irresen ?
Cold riders originally appeared in the "Carnival of Tears" module
and it also talked a bit about their origins in Golarion|

The Core Rulebook line is campaign setting–neutral, so the fact that Irrisen is not mentioned doesn't mean anything.There is no mention of Irresen in their text.AWSOME.....
Do the Cold Rider fey have anything to do with the cold fey of Irresen ?

The Cold Rider was introduced in the Carnival of Tears module, and yes, they do have stuff to do with the cold fey in Irrisen.
Did the Divs make it to this book?Yup, plus two new ones.

What are Bandersnatches powers, and what does it look like?
Any interesting plant creatures?
Hard to describe the art for the bandersnatch...sort of like a nightmare version of a six-legged quill-covered cat. Power-wise, it's a bit like a cross between a tiger, a howler, and a manticore. Plus it has a confounding gaze and shakes off many negative conditions.
Once you see the picture, keep in mind that it's the size of a school bus. And it's coming right at you.
Plant creatures....there's leshys, which are cute as can be, mind-controlling fungus men, and a fair few more :)
What about Giants and Trolls, what types did we get?
What misfit monsters other then the Flumph, Flail snail, wolf in sheep's clothing make it in?
Did the Almiraj, Beatific one, Danse Macabre, Buraq, Giant Stympalides, Vouivre, Troll Hound, or Dweomer cat make it in?
Robots?
