Akyrak AWOL in HoA?

[Sothrim]

I may have missed this in other threads, but a site search brings up nothing...

I was reading the Cinderlands article, and was curious about this "quivering, translucent" arachnid, the akyrak. The sidebar refers one to page 80 (the Bestiary), but there is no akyrak listed there either (it's not even in the wandering monster table). Was this a beastie that didn't make the page-cut?

In the cinderlands section, it says akyrak see page 80. No akyrak in bestiary. They sound cool, so will they be in pathfinder on a later date?

Damn.

The akyrak was cut at the last minute for 2 reasons: we needed the space, and it was a sort of underwhelming monster in the end anyway. Best change for the akyrak is to just say it's the Shoanti word for dire bear.

so it looks like best bet would be to use the fluff from the article, and the stats from a dire bear.... maybe if we ask James nicly enough we can get some of the added fluff posted here
