Announced! Product image and description not final.
Hmm... Interesting!
This is gonna be a must have. Can't wait to have it in my hands.
Awwww snap-crackle-pop!
I thought we'd have to wait til beastiary 5 for this.
Interesting....But I hope we will still get Bestiary 5 this year.
Please don't let this replace Bestiary 5...
The lack in mythology monsters is really high after Mummy's Mask...

Ok, where did they ever rule out a Bestiary 5?!?
It's just a booklet people, calm down. Nothing makes it clear that we won't get a hardcover Bestiary this year.

Forgot about the small 40-monsters inner sea bestiary? That one also replaced the Bestiary that year, so big chance.

Replace what? Where is it written that Bestiaries should be annual releases and that any book is "replacing" another?
They can take as much time as they need to make a 5th Bestiary, I'm not pushing these guys to release half-baked and rushed products. We'll get a 5th book when it's ready to be released, not on a set date.
Set releases are the worst kind of releases anyway. We already have games and movies that do that, I don't need to see this happening for PF books.

People are referring to Bestiary 5 coming out THIS YEAR.
Not whether we will ever get a Bestiary 5 at some future date.
Although I suppose the latter will have more to do with how successful Bestiary 4 was.
I could be dead in 2016, so i'd better have Bestiary 5 this year, thank you.
I'm not really a future person.
I would like it to have a bestiary every 2 year,s like we have 2 adventure paths every year.

Yes some people enjoy humans more, I prefer monsters.

Nah, I do like monsters more, but too many bestiaries and they stop feeling special and start to feel like they run out of monsters from mythologies to fill in :P Give them more time between bestiaries and they feel more special
Plus I need more canon fodder <_< And would be nice to get APG, ACG, UM, UC and other npcs on codex

There are actually hundreds of myth monsters still left to explore, and the AP's lately don't venture very well into that area...

Psychic phrenic scourges *drools*
I hope there will be thought eater, brain mole, psychic vampire, creatures from the dimension of dreams(some non-evil ones would be nice), psychic/occult related new 0HD races, psychic energy creature(possibly invisible), crystal golem, psychic creature template, something from the astral plane, something from the ethereal plane, and one psychic powered swarm of aberrations.
Yeah, imma instabuy this one.

Bestiary 5 should include:
-all the creatures from the APs bestiary sections that have not already appeared in previous volumes.
-all missing Demon Lords
-the Archdevils
-the 4 (or 5) Daemon Lords.
-lots of Great Old Ones
-stats for tiny, small, medium and Colossal chromatic and metallic Dragons that were left out in the first Bestiary
-stats for skeletons and zombies of large, huge, gargantuan and colossal size.
Fill the rest up with some new monsters and voila - instant classic! ;-)
Psychic liches? Interesting. I was thinking all a lich would need to be psychic is just eleven caster levels in one of the Occult classes.

It might be an alternate template for liches that is psychic themed or specific for those classes.

Monsters with psychic powers? ... Dare I hope for gemstone dragons with psychic powers, like in earlier editions of this game?
Creatures "from the dark places beyond the stars" ... sounds like Dominion of the Black and related things! :)
If they introduced gem dragons(or psychic/occult dragons) it would be in a hardcover bestiary.
Dominion of the black would be interesting but creatures from the astral, ethereal, dimension of dreams, dimension of time, and the positive energy plane need a lot more love.
I am fine with less traditional "psionic" creatures as long as we still get the thought eater(skeletal platypus like creature that is not an undead) and brain mole(possibly a template for any animal).
New bestiary? Yes, please!!!

Gem dragons are apparently D&D trademark so they can't appear. Plus there are quite lots of dragons already, so I don't think there needs to be five dragons for all possible categories. Maybe like, one psychic dragon?
Also, if they bring back thought eater, it'd be nice if the would go with something like this (thats fan art update of thought eater's original design pre skeletal design with skull shape of actual platypus skulls. Geez, why does their skull split open in beak like that?)

I would like to see 5 new psychic dragons(Astral, Chakra, Dream, Esper, and Spirit) but in a hardcover bestiary. This book doesn't have enough room to put that many of one creature type.
I'm always EXCITES for a book a' monsters. Also dig the mock up cover.
So we can expect ghosts, monsters of Lovecraft and some other alien beings in this one? Sounds good to me.
Can't wait for this!
August release?! I could have sworn it said July when it was announced.

It was...must have been pushed back.
Yeah I remember about books getting pushed back but that was really quick.
Isn't Gen Con in July this year?
I am sure there will be a B5 eventually, but the real question is it going to be this year or not.

Really would be bummed off by another boring NPC codex...
I can't wait to find what creatures are in this one. I hope that there will be at least 1 psychic related dragon, fey, giant, elemental, magical beast, ooze, and plant.

And there are likely just as many of us who want NPC Codex 2. Or at least something with Paizo's idea of sample builds for the APG/UC/UM classes. Right now there's nothing other than those Open Design/Kobold Press PDF releases for each class, and those only have 3 builds per class.
Now as to what this book will actually have, I'd be very interested to see some sort of psychic dragons, or maybe psychic monster templates, along the lines of the ones in the Monster Codex.
I am sure we will get a psychic related template of some kind in this book. Now wether it would be what your looking for or not will remain to be seen.

If not in the Occult adventures, I want to see a Tulpa here. We need tulpas.
A Tulpa would be interesting.
I hope we will be getting some old school monsters in this one. I also hope we will be getting some new monsters and not just psychic versions of existing monsters.
