I recently went through the 3.5 Monster Manual and pulled out a list of the creatures that did not make it into the first Bestiary. Although all of these creatures may not make it into Bestiary II most of them probably will so, for me at least, this list is kind of a preview of what's to come and I thought I would share.

A few of the above creatures appear in the Bonus Bestiary but I went ahead and included them anyway. Also I removed those monsters that are not open content. I also did not include creatures from the MM that are considered player races and thus will not appear in a Bestiary or creatures with templates added to them. The only creature I felt unsure about was the Abyssal Basilisk. I'm not sure if it counts as a sperate creature or an advanced creature. Enjoy

More than anything I look forward to having original monsters from the various APs compiled in the new Bestiary.
James jacobs commented on Ogrekin making an appearance in Bestiary II and many others will probably be included too.
I would like to see the Mother of Oblivion and the Rune Giants.
Just an FYI...
Lammasu, Annis Hag and Shadow Mastiff were in Bonus Bestiary and thus are available on d20pfsrd.com.
We're actively converting others, both from the Tome of Horrors books and elsewhere, for anyone interested.
As an aside, if anyone would like to help convert these monsters we could use more help. Email me if you can help. Google Wave invites given as thanks for assistance too, in case that helps :)

+1 for Rune Giants
By the way, any idea when the "Tojanidas of Golarion" 256-page hardcover is coming out?
I have always liked many of the ones that did not make. There was a thread to suggest monsters for the 2nd Bestiary, but now I can't find it.

That is bound to be a best seller.
The badgers meanwhile have been lamenting the absence of aarakocra for years. (But those might not be fair game?)
I'd like to see all the creatures mentioned in The Great Beyond (other than Archdevils, Archdemons, Archdaemons and Archangels), such as:
Umbral Dragons, Brine Drakes and all other varieties of Dragons and creatures akin;
Jyoti and Sceaduinar;
Daemons of all kinds;
Inevitables;
Formians;
Proteans of all kinds;
Agathions (hoping that they remain limited to Leonal, Vulpinal, Avoral, Lupinal and some other "cool" animal, like tigers, but not things that go towards the ridiculous as rat/horse/whale/goat/whatever-like Celestials).

I am pretty sure Daemons, Proteans and Agathions will make it for sure.
I'd like to see a bunch of new inevitables including one that could be used as a PC race.
Badgers... got to have badgers... the people of Absalom demand it!
Badger, badger, badger, badger,
Badger, badger, badger, badger,MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!

I think the Bestiary II needs things with really scary pictures for you to show your players ;-)

James Jacobs pretty much indicated they would be in bestiary 2 since bestiary one was the extreme alignments outsiders, Formians and Inevitables as well. As far as the Umbral Dragon goes, 3.5 stats are in PF Adventure path volume 11 Skeletons of Scarwall.
As far as the agathions go maybe we could see bat or dinosaur agathions, also lupinal is I believe wizards IP but the concept could still work Lycaenal as the name perhaps.
I was thrilled to see Quickings in a Pathfinder Society mod. I'd love to see more 1st and 2nd ed monsters that have fallen by the wayside get a new coat of paint.
Stupid griffs full of hipps... they don't serve any purpose other than to irritate me, Be gone with the abominations!!

But without hippogriffs, what will the Sable Company of Korvosa do for mounts?
Jermalaines! I'm a fan of the old 1st ed. Fiend Folio monsters.

Oh, I'm gonna say there WILL be hippogriffs.
I've always loved the beast, even if it doesn't have the best name.

It has a perfectly fine name, if you ignore the fact that it combines a Greek prefix with a Latin suffix.
Oh, I've never been super-crazy about the sound, either, but it's okay.

How about Half-fiend hippopototaur?
Also, are advanced versions of creatures going to be in it? I just noticed there is no advanced stone golem in the first book.
Or are there plans for a separate book with those kinds of templated and advanced monsters?

Nope. Stats for advanced creatures belong in adventures or supplements, not bestiaries. It's much better to use the space taken up by an advanced monster to present a NEW monster in the needed CR spot.

Wouldn't you just ad the Advanced template? Or maybe the Advanced and Giant templates to really pump it up?

There's a new Kyton showing up in Pathfinder #30, I believe.I'd like to see some of the other Kytons that were mentioned in Bestiary 1.ditto!
hard to adjust to the fact they aren't devils anymore, but I like it well enough. :) In fact adds a lot more interest to them I think.
*drool*
you really know how to tease!
*holds up a dollar bill* More more more!

Some one mentioned rune giants. Would they be new creatures, or should there be some type of Runic Template. I think a template where their power comes from the runes on them = awesomeness. Like a tattooed monk,
lol
truthfully I'd like to see rune giants as their own race, BUT I also would like to see a Runic template as well... :)
Yes I want it all
I'd like to see some of the other Kytons that were mentioned in Bestiary 1.
+1
I love Kytons, and love what PF did for them. Finally separating them from the rest of the devils. I'd love to see more, especially more powerful ones. ;)
Some sort of pliosaur/mosasaur type creature would be great, as would the whales (baleen and cachalot). Some updated AP stuff as well, more dragons, and maybe the movanic and monadic devas from Tome of Horrors.
