If I were doing a book about Aberrations of Golarion, limiting it to ten cool, classic, and open content aberrations, I'd do the following:

1: Aboleths
2: Athachs
3: Chokers
4: Chuuls
5: Cloakers
6: Ettercaps
7: Gibbering Mouthers
8: Nagas
9: Otyughs
10: Rust Monsters

I'd buy that book!

This would be the coolest book ever... but dump the Athachs and add to the Aboleth and Cloaker pages!!!

My wishlist :
- Dragons (by environment, not color/metal)
- Drow (no Lolth, no Drizzt)
- Duergar (i loved to Ecology in Dragon)
- Feys (Brownie, Cluricaun, Leprechaun, Pixie, Sprite altogether or just the Leprechaun...)
- Gargoyle (more gothic or more elemental, or both)
- Ghoul (one of my favorite undead)
- Harpy (i love these)
- Illithid (although not OGL)
- Vampire (let's avoid the Strad and Vlad cliches)
- Wight (another of my favorite undead)

I wouldn't mind seeing Delvers instead of Athachs. While Delvers aren't "classic" in any real way, I think a dungeon-making monster is the most brilliant new monster of 3rd edition and I'd love, love, love to get the equivalent of an "Ecology of..." article on it.

I'd love a mix of "old school" monsters and some of the newer beasties...

(in no particular order of preference):

1. Wight (the coolest of the undead)
2. Gargoyles
3. Harpies
4. Hell-Hounds
5. Chokers
6. Ettins
7. Barghest (given their links to Goblins...)
8. Hags (I know they were covered in the Dragon's excellent Ecology articles but it would be wicked to see the Golarian versions)
9. Aboleth
10. Ok, indulge me here people on my final choice - a sad 80's gamer nostalgia part of me would be interested to see Thouls make a re-appearance ;)

I like the idea of doing a book for each monster type. That way you can tie in their flavor in Golarion with how they interact with each other. I suggest going giants next, then dragons, magical beasts, fey, devils, demons, yugoloths (if you can do that), archons, celestials, and other outsides (perhaps by alignment).

Toll! Pathfinder rocks!

[Timespike]

You know, the more I think about it, the more I want to see a book of intelligent, non-humanoid beasties detailed. So, that would mean:

So do maybe:

Aboleths
Barghests
Centaurs
Cloakers
Couatls
Lamias
Lammasus
Manticores
Sphinxes

[Mark Moreland]

There seem to be a lot of requests for Aboleths, and I second (third? fourth?) this request. Though, given their importance in the history of Golarion, I'd sort of like a full PF article on them. Seems a great addition to the SD AP, since they were the ones who seemingly brought about the first Age of Darkness.

My list of ten additional classics would be:

1) Aboleths
2) Rust Monsters
3) Derro
4) Sehauguin
5) Lamias
6) Pseudodragons
7) Griffons
8) Planetouched
9) Vampires
10) Succubi

They can do Daemons, but not Yugoloths.

Maybe in the SRD... but the category itself is pretty wide open. There's a LOT of Fey creatures in the game if you go back through the years that are also classic monsters. Let's see...

1: Siren
2: Pixie
3: Nymph
4: Satyr
5: Dryad
6: Leprechaun
7: Redcap
8: Nixie
9: Neried
10: Sylph

Great. So it's decided, then. When will it be out? :D

I'd buy it. I'd also buy the Aberration one. And an undead one. (Think about the undead from the RotRL AP; the black monk, the hidden beast, the headless lord, the skinsaw man. Heck yeah, I'd like to see a Paizo book on undead.)

[DarkArt]

Aberrations and undead for me as well.

I'd only pick some creatures here and there soley based upon Pathfinder journal entries. (Such as the Naga). I'd prefer monsters that would still have relevance no matter where the AP's chose to focus on.

[The Far Wanderer]

Much as I'd love to see classic monsters revisited I'd also like to see a book with say 200 new ones from the Paizo crew.

Starting with the fabled Githmona...
