Monsters have long stalked us in the darkness. Within this book, you’ll find a host of these creatures for use in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Face off against archdevils and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, planar dragons and the legendary wild hunt, proteans and psychopomps, and hundreds more! Some creatures, such as the capricious taniwha, the mysterious green man, or the powerful empyreal lords, might even be willing to provide your heroes aid—if they deserve it!
Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 6 is the sixth must-have volume of monsters for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and serves as a companion to the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook and Pathfinder RPG Bestiary. This imaginative tabletop game builds upon more than 10 years of system development and an open playtest featuring more than 50,000 gamers to create a cutting-edge RPG experience that brings the all-time best-selling set of fantasy rules into a new era.
Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 6 includes:
More than 200 different monsters.
New player-friendly races, like the crazed monkey goblins, the telepathic albino munavris, the river-dwelling fey naiads, the wolflike rougarou, and the yaddithians of the Elder Mythos.
Numerous powerful demigods, from archdevils and Great Old Ones to empyreal lords and qlippoth lords.
New animal companions and other allies, such as fierce devil monkeys and loyal clockwork hounds.
New templates, including the entothrope and the mongrel giant, to help you get more life out of classic monsters.
Appendices to help you find the right monster, including lists by Challenge Rating, monster type, and habitat.
Expanded universal monster rules to simplify combat.
Challenges for every adventure and every level of play.
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

I had thought when Bestiary 6 came out I wouldn't need it.
How wrong was I!
This book will definitely take it's place as one of the essential Pathfinder books in my collection, if you're waiting to get this, don't! Get it now!
Well done Paizo!
My one complaint is mine had the same s$~+ty yellow binding glue as the first printing of the Starfinder CRB, but I'm not dropping the rating because it is that good (also I still have binding glue leftover from my Starfinder CRB).
So Bestiary 5 was a bit disappointing to me, but this one is something that did something with Pathfinder I haven't seen in a while: gave me ideas that I wanted to use. A lot of the monsters presented are honestly interesting. As usual, there are some reprints from other products, but I always favor having consolidated lists of things. I won't use everything, but there is enough here that I'll be using a good chunk.
Also, the weremantis reminded me how much I love Portal, so I have to give it to them there.
So me and two other guys from my gaming group ordered this book from amazon. WOW, all of us have missing and or scrambled pages.
I have over 17 missing pages (most of the archdevils content)and more or less 20 pages out of order. I don't know if they are sending all the "special" books down here, but I can assure you I will never buy a physical book from Paizo anymore.
Temporarily locking to review the last couple pages of posts.
EDIT: Reopened!
Removed a series of derailing posts regarding gender representation and the aesthetics of the monsters included in this product (and by wider extension, the rest of our product lines). Please note that this thread concerns Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 6, which is likely not an appropriate venue for discussing your opinions on how monsters and other entities in the Pathfinder RPG are represented. If you want to discuss that topic, it may be more appropriate in the Paizo Products subforum, or if you want to make that a more broad discussion, Gamer Talk.
Additionally, we have a not-insignificant amount of women within our community. I would caution making blanket statements about appearance versus strength or non-visual characteristics. The discussion of representations of "strong women" is a worthy topic, but consider that there are entire communities, sports, and professions that women occupy that may skew perceived notions (and tropes surrounding those notions) of what that means. I'd ask that the participants of such a new thread keep that in mind, should they choose to pursue that discussion.
According to Wikipedia, it's "85 metres (279 ft) from the tip of its sword to the top of the plinth. The figure itself measures 52 metres (171 ft), and the sword 33 metres (108 ft)".
Other then the new true dragons, the two-headed one, and the possibility of new linnorms and/or drakes, I wonder what other kinds of dragons we will see.

I had an idea for a Tiny serpentine-bodied dragon that slumbers at the bottom of bottles, or maybe kegs, of well-aged alcoholic spirits. I don't think that could work for a linnorm though.

At no point have I ever read that Linnorms don't like spirits :3
More seriously this already sounds good, and given the reaction to the Calligraphy Wyrm I say go for it.
In Bestiary 3 we did have the Gorynych, which is about as close to a classic style "true" dragon with three heads as I think we're likely to get. I wonder if the two-headed dragon will be one of the True Dragons? I mean, there's nothing that would prevent a true dragon from having more than one head, is there?
In terms of three-headed dragons, I think I would want a Kaiju in the form of a three-headed dragon the most, for obvious reasons.
I hope we get more Linnorms, but I'm a little worried that we've received all we're likely to have of them. There hasn't been a new one in a long time, and they're not like Outsider groups where there are implied to be dozens or even hundreds of types existing in the outer planes. Is this all the Linnorm species that exist?
