Scarlet Spider and Greensting Scorpion? Really more Spiders and Scorpions, the names sound forced as well? I really would have liked some more Mantis or Wasps, we have more than enough Spiders, don't make the mistake D&D made by making every element, environment and stuff into a spider monster...
Trapdoor Spiders is what we really need as they are different from the other spiders.
Catrina? Lol that sounds like a woman name? What is it like?
What is the Rat King like?

The Catrina is a psychopomp based on La Calavera Catrina and the Calacas, both of which from the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. It's a Skeleton with long, black wavy hair and a long dress with marigolds that adorn it. It treats death more like a celebration instead of mourning. Can be male or female, but the artwork is female. And it does a great job at capturing the style of the Day of the Dead.

I'll note that the Spring-Heeled Jack got new artwork, but by the same artist.
The vanth, the nosoi, and the yamaraj got new artwork. I'm guessing the nosoi and vanth ones were just to fit a single page better.
The new yamaraj art looks awesome.
I'll also note that the Great Old Ones don't have mythic rank but DO have mythic power, and have spell-like abilities that they can use as mythic spells. For example, Great Cthulhu has Mythic Wish 1/day.
And keep in mind that a blood hag only likes a pretty lady during the day - at night her skin sloughs right off, not coming back until the next dawn.

One thing I would like to bring up as a critique: While there was a list of creatures that could become cohorts and a list of creatures that can become animal companions, there doesn't seem to be a compiled list of familiar options. I had to dig for what I produced there.

The only named creatures are the Kaiju, Great Old Ones, Empyreal Lords, and Demon Lords.
Dagon can swallow people and transform them into half fiend creatures under their control.
Pazuzu can possess anyone that says his name three times and he's on the same plane as them.
Aww, These do not sound nearly as cool as some of the stuff the other demon lord heavies are rocking from Wrath of the Righteous.

Sorry if it's already been asked but any critters that could be used with the improved familiar feat?
Thanks,

Yep! As mentioned above, the pipefox for one. I'll check and see what else may be there...
Almiraj, Nycar, Pooka, and Ratling are available, and the giant flea, greensting scorpion, and scarlet spider can be used without the Improved Familiar feat. That is in addition to the familiars presented in the Familiar entry.
Many thanks!

Did the kitsune get new artwork for this book? In extension, did the other 0 HD races get new artwork? It is good news to hear the pipefox is familiar material. Kinda surprised the almiraj is as well. And the giant flea... Sounds kinda funny for a familiar.
All of the races got new artwork except the Nagaji, Wayang, and Changeling. And we finally get to see a male Samsaran. Wyroot probably my favorite, along with the Four Armed One.

If Cerunnos is so powerful, how come he has such a minor presence in the universe?
What unique tricks does Hastur do?
Any movie themed monsters no one (or few) have mentioned?
How does the Body Thief control? Does it crawl into you? Put something in you? Manipulate remotely?
Cerunnos and Pazuzu fight. Cthulhu joins in and they have a 3 way fight. Who wins?

Agyra's name is a type of moth but kinda disappointed it ended up being rodan instead of Mothra.
So the Gathlain'a art is male very, very, very, disappointed about that.
So is the what size category is the Pooka?
What is the Nycar like?
What are the drakes like?
What is the Ypotryll like and it's abilities?
Is the Wikkawak a type of Bugbear or something else?

Yes the kitsune got new artwork. I like it! Some of the 0 HD races got new artwork - The wyrwood, the wyvaren, the samsaran, the trox, the kasatha and the wayang all got new art. The rest got theirs from other sources.

Time Dragon Time Travel.
How would you guys run the party going back in time and finding the younger Time Dragon? Would that time dragon then have one less use? Sounds wobbly
I would say that since they only could do that at great wyrm age, it wouldn't count towards that dragon yet.

Hastur can make people obsessed with finding out more about the Yellow Sign. He is immortal and if someone kills him and touches his robes, they are compelled (will save) to put them on. They are immediately destroyed (no save, do not pass go) and Hastur ressurrects. Can make people insane with his visage, attack with strips of his robes, cast wish at will, and has some powers with the Yellow Sign. I have my PDF on my Kindle, so I can't really copy-paste everything here.
Not that I can think of, aside from the Xenopterid.
It eats the person, kills them, and makes pod people out of them.
They all take a break and have Starbucks.
What are the CRs of the Flesh and Iron Colossus? I thought one of them would be in the 20s.
What does the Iron Colossus do?
Iron Colossus is CR 21. Oddly enough, he is missing from the CR list I wrote. Checking back on that, he is missing. So, errata for the future. He can turn his legs into tank treads with spikes on them. Absorbs fire.
Flesh Colossus is CR 16 and NOT Colossal :(. But he's cool. Can split up into four Flesh Golems to attack someone.
All have Selective Antimagic aura.

Yeah, really surprised by that. Two headed Rodan too.
It's really good honestly, and to be fair, we need artwork of both genders for a race.
Tiny. Also Uncanny Valley creepy looking. Again, Thumper from Bambi drawn by a furry.
Like a miniature Linnorm.
Good, although I feel the artwork of the Shadow and Spire drake were switched. The Shadow Drake is Tiny :( but looks big. The Spire Drake looks tiny.
It looks like a crazy scaled boar. Nice looking. All of it's abilities are based on being an unstoppable juggernaut at charging. When it charges, the path it takes leaves behind difficult terrain.
Yes a Bugbear.

Yeah it's weird that the Great Old Ones have no actually way of being killed. They can be defeated and driven back into hibernation, but can't actually be killed.
Can Elohim create Demiplanes at will?
Once per day.

I was hoping that it could do it at will so it can spend hours or days making a gigantic plane of its own to play God in.
It uses the create demiplane spell as a 1/day spell-like ability. So it can spend days making it grow as large as it wants to, create as much life as it wishes, and when the area is self-sustaining, leave. They do play at being God, but don't stick around. Why? Who knows...

I'm down with that, totally like the idea of the mythos creatures getting to be creatures that no known weapon can kill. Makes them interesting players on the grand stage beside the other powerful outsiders and worshipable entities.
Now I have to wonder though what the hell those other entities think of them? I mean they have to be way more terrified of an enemy that literally cannot be killed then we have seen them presented as. I mean I'm sure characters like Pazuzu and Vildeis have to have misgivings about going toe to to with a creature that no one can just kill considering even if they fought it to a stalemate they would be dead and said great old one would just rise again.

The biggest difference is that the Empyreal Lords and Demon Lords of this strength all require aligned artifacts, deific, or mythic attacks to keep them down (regeneration). Great Old Ones only have fast healing, so once they go down, they stay down. And by down, I mean they go back to sleep.
Also makes you think... all of the Demon Lords and Empyreal Lords are Outsiders and aren't immortal like the Great Old Ones (unless they are on their homeplane). Meanwhile, the GOOs aren't outsiders at all and can return to their own forms when killed. Perhaps the angels and demons and such really are outsiders and the GOOs the true masters of the Material Plane... ;)
