Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 6 (PFRPG)

Those robots have been built...and they were delicious;)

Now I imagined a bronze dragon fighting robot-raptors with his bite attacks, in a jurassic park style, while a clockwork mage technomancer laughs euphorically...

Now with the announcement of Book of the Damned Hardcover, It would be useful if Demon Lords were indeed among the demigods in Bestiary 6. We will have stats for all the Four Horsemen and all the Archdevils, so why wouldn't they include some of the remaining major Demon Lords as well? That would be a good set of foes to use with the upcoming BotD Hardcover.

Actually with the announcement of the hardcover book of the damned I hope they just put their stats in that book to save room for other stuff in B6.

Actually with the announcement of the hardcover book of the damned I hope they just put their stats in that book to save room for other stuff in B6.

Unfortunately I'm sure there are far too many demon lords remaining to put them all in one book, even if we are exclusively talking about the major ones. I was surprised that 16 pages of Bestiary 6 are going to be dedicated to the Archdevils, and indeed I wouldn't like to have another 10 pages dedicated to Demon Lords' stat blocks alone in either of the books.

I can say with some authority that there are a lot of demon lords in Pathfinder. Even if there were several in both books, I doubt we would still have anywhere close to the full set.

Indeed... ^-^'

But if we were to mention only the "major" Demon Lords, we already have stat blocks for a great number of them. The exceptions are Abraxas, Angazhan, Cyth-V'sug, Gogunta, Socothbenoth and Zura.

Of course, by now Robot Chris has surely built an army of Mini Robo Chris-Raptors to help her ... I hope.

Nope, but I have upped my arsenal of emergency chocolate.

I would say that folks can anticipate Bestiary 6 excitement... soon. :)

Soon is good! I like soon, Chris. :)

"Soon", much better then "later" or "eventually";)

Yay Roobit!

So, I was a good little ambassador and decided to read the whole forum scanning for "this is in the book" quotes.
Here is my list of what is in (that I know of), based on this discussion, the product description, and the Bestiary 6 art post.
1. Archdevil, Baalzebul
2. Archdevil, Barbatos
3. Archdevil, Belial
4. Archdevil, Dispater
5. Archdevil, Geryon
6. Archdevil, Mammon
7. Archdevil, Mephistopheles
8. Archdevil, Moloch
9. Benchak the Stalker's hitherto unnamed monster that he's excited about
10. Chesire Cat/Nekomata/Bakeneko (one of the Three. Personally hoping for C, I've been Practicing my Pooh/Kaa Voice since I found out he might be in. *Wink, Wink*). 
11. Conqueror Worm
12. Demon, Oolioddroo
13. Dragon, 1
14. Dragon, 2
15. Dragon, 3
16. Dragon, 4
17. Dragon, 5

20. Empyreal Lord, Black butterfly
21. Empyreal Lord, Ragathiel
22. Entothrope
23. Giant, Mongrel
24. Giant, Shadow
25. Giant, Tomb
26. Great Old One, ??? (One Lovecraft made, so Rhan-Tegoth or Yig)
27. Great Old One, ??? (One typically considered an Outer god, So maybe Yig or Nhimbaloth. Or Chaugnar, If I get really Lucky and My wish is granted [very Unlikely though...stinkin Product Identity, I like my favorite Vampire Elephant])
28. Great Old One, ??? (Orgesh or Mhar)
29. Green Man
30. Hivemind Swarm
31. Horseman, Appollyon
32. Horseman, Charon
33. Horseman, Szuriel
34. Horseman, Trelmarixian
35. Kaiju, Varklops
36. Kaiju, Vorgozen
37. Kaiju, Yarthoon
38. Krampus
39. Living Statues (haunted by Dead Gods)
40. Mockingfey
41. Monkey Goblin
42. Munavri
43. Naiad
44. One Tome of Horrors Monster (I hope its the Gorbel, but that's just me)
45. Protean, Pelagastr
46. Strangely Sentient Ooze (strange is just used for Consonance, because the almighty James 47. says so [Hopes sarcasm is obvious])
48. The Horla
49. Whisperer (the Willows)
50. Wild Hunt
51. Yaddithian

Aside from the Named Creatures, there are several that were mentioned, but not named (quite frustrating, but I'll get over it)
-Constructs (your guess is as good as mine)
-Old School Dungeons and Dragons Monsters (Based on the words Old School, I'm thinking OD&D: fingers crossed for Carrion Crawler, Floating Eyes, and Grab Grass)
-Psychopomps (may haps some reprints, since Ahmuuth, Ember Weaver, Esobok, Kere, Memitim, Shoki, Viduus are all in Inner Sea Bestiary, Inner Sea Gods, or the AP Line)
-Qlippoth (a lot of people say that they've been confirmed, so I'll say maybe reprints, like Gongorinan and Thognorok)
-Todd Stewart Monsters (New ones)

Basically, we know just about 51 of the 233? monsters. Roughly 21 Percent of the Creatures.
let me know if I missed any other Creatures that were confirmed. On the great Old Ones, That is simply an Educated Guess, as I am certain some of you will ask where I got that Info, I didn't, i just think that's what's likely, (either that or I'm totally wrong and James can say something cryptic about how it's sort of like an avatar of Nyarlathotep, but not... maybe a manifestation of good old Shub-Niggurath? OR, why not look and see if any of the Outer Gods in Strange Aeons have less than five Domains! While we're at it, we can check the Inner Sea Gods, and see who might be included based on the lack of a fifth domain as well. Sherlock Powers, Activate!)

On a Separate Note, I really hope that there are no Demon Lords in it. I would prefer they allow us the privilege of getting to know Demigods from some of other groups, like Qlippoth lords, Quasi-Dities, and *Cough, Cough* Our Protean Overlords or Primal Chaos (since there's seven of them, we could call them the "Seven Gods of Chaos" *Cough, Cough... Ogdru Jahad*...)

Thank you for the great list, your research is much appreciated!

Book of the Damned will have info on harbingers, kyton demagogues, sahkil tormentors, rakshasa immortals, oni daimyo and stats for Queens of the Night, Ahriman, Asuras...
But no stats for Demon Lords, so we might get some in here...

There are about 50 Demon Lords mentioned by name in Pathfinder...

I think we know way more about the roster of this book than we did B5 before it came out.

This bears repeating:

Empyreal Lord, Arshea

Emphasis mine, of course. ;)

Here's hoping Arshea's bae is in the next one.

18. Elder Worm

46. Strangely Sentient Ooze (strange is just used for Consonance, because the almighty James 47. says so - Hopes sarcastic is obvious)

Thanks for the list! That will come in hand while we are getting the previews. However, with your excuse, I would like to point out that:

The "18. Elder Worm" is actually the Elder Wyrm, the two headed CR 21-25 dragon - probably Mythic as well.

The "47.Strangely Sentient Ooze" should actually be in the plural, for they are a group of 4-5(?) considerable high CR oozes.And that also increases the number of creatures we know to 54-55(?).

How many pages do we presumably already have with the monsters we know? I would guess we are close to one hundred pages already.

You forgot...

Rougarou
Celestials
Goblin Troops

-Todd Stewart Monsters (New ones)

I'm not sure how I should feel about a grouping of monsters diffusely described with just my name, not that I'm known for any particular sort of monsters or anything. Of course not. I had fun and I can't wait to be able to talk about them. :)

Keep shamelessly begging Paizo for a protean book on my behalf (because I would never stoop to that level...), that's all I ask. ;)

So your monsters are a specific group, I hope they are something other then outsiders.

I would like a protean/maelstrom book:)

We COULD do more stuff with Orcus, but when it comes to stories about undeath cults, I'm much more interested in using Urgathoa or Zura or Kabriri or Zyphus or any number of other undeath-linked religions that WE invented, rather than riding the tired old coattails of one whose story has been done to death. (Or undeath, as it were.)

Ooh, more of Zura or Kabriri would be very welcome!

I'd love to see more about Zura, as well as Lorcan and Ruithvein...

Krampus is so cool, CR 21 and pretty deadly. Nice background it has, too.

I'm just wondering how close to the original legends the Rougarou will tend. I'd be amused to see Cajun/Creole wolf-people as a race in the game.

Im curious how they're going to handle it too.

I just hope it is a fun player race with some interesting abilities.

I meant that as a good thing. I haven't had a complaint about any monsters that I knew were done by you to date.

I'd love to see the Rougarou as refugees from Galt who went to live in the swamps of the River Kingdom.

It's close to certain that they won't refer to nations of the setting in a bestiary, but maybe in a campaign setting book.

So we'll have to wait for Rougarou of Golarion to get the full information? Or, y'know, just make something up.

Rougarou could also be an Arcadian race, given there real world origins

Hey, the cover is here!

It Happened!

I never said this about a bestiary cover before but I find it to be meh. Kind of disappointing considering the wait.

WOW....I always love Wayne's work....but WOW!!!

Ohhhhh myyyy goddddd!!!!!

Sweetest Bestiary cover yet!

F#$~ING SWEET!

The cover is awesome!!!!

I'm sure that's quite an "unique" opinion you got there, my bronze cousin. I myself am already imagining this cover as a poster in my room. XD

But I can get your point. Sure we already knew that this demigods would be in the bestiary, but I'm sure this cover is more than enough to make anyone grab the bestiary, just for the cover quality, and that's the point of this amazing illustration.

And also, look at the blog post, we are getting previews next week, so we are going to star getting inside this book.

Huh... so that's what Charon looks like now?

Pannic,

It's one version of him, I'm sure.

Also I too love this cover. Charon might not be the best, but DAMN does Mephistopheles look awesome. :)

He is supposed to represent death by OLD AGE isn't he? Now he is dressed for that.

That is metal as Hell. I love it.

I told y'all. :)

It's a nice cover, as far as covers go.

That is metal as Hell. I love it.

I agree 9000%

IT'S OVER NINE THOU...it's...uh...it's...equal to nine thou...sand...

*Sniff*

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

No, it doesn't.

Wow I just realised I had this mixed up with the Book of the Dammed cover. Doh...

That's... surprising. Cool cover, but I thought we'd get a more diverse cover with a bigger content range like B4 & 5. As it stands this admittedly awesome cover looks like what we'd get for the Book of the Damned hardcover or a bestiary more focused on outsiders than any other.

Kind of surprised there's no Krampus on it lol.

Lemartes,

It happens.

Doc,

Maybe he's on the back cover...
