Bestiary: Top 3 ToH monsters

[Callous Jack]

Same deal as the other thread, what monsters from the ToH series would you like to see updated to the PFRPG rules in the next Bestiary?

For me:
1) Babbler: I love the notion of the Lizardmen having this nasty minion/ally tromping around and gobbling people up.
2) Kamadan or Caterwaul: Since Paizo cannot reproduce the Displacer Beast or the Coeurl, why not put in another sustitute?
3) Bunyip: I know they've used it already so I'd like to see it updated.

[Lord Gadigan]

Since the other thread got bumped up to top ten, I'm going to do that here:

1.) All daemons
2.) All clockworks
3.) All non-unique devils (Wait for Epic to be out for others)
4.) All non-unique demons(Wait for Epic to be out for others)
5.) All celestials
6.) All demodands
7.) All oozes (Oozes are under-represented at the moment, IMO)
8.) All zombies (Particularly Juju)
9.) All golems
10.) Flail Snail

Hey CJ,

Paizo did reproduce the Coeurl... it was in Pathfinder Adventure Path #22 IIRC in that volume's Bestiary. (They had gotten permission from the Van Vogt estate, from what James Jacobs had said).

In any case, I agree with all of your top 3 from ToH (and definitely the Kamadan over the Caterwaul).

Thanks MW, I just meant that since they can't publish the Couerl again in the next Bestiary, they can do one of the other cat/tentacle options.

You may be out of luck with that one as I thought I've read that James Jacobs does not like this particular gastropod.

[Robert Ranting]

1. Bunyip
2. Tentamort
3. Crystalline Horror

Honorable mention goes to the Leprechaun, because, for better or worse, it is one of the best-known fey, and yet is conspicuously absent from most bestiaries.

[David Fryer]

1) Tabaxi
2) Skulk
3) Ogrillon
4) Adherer
5) Flumph

I'd also like to see the Dire animal template updated for Pathfinder so I can finally stat up my dire spider monkeys.

[Thraxus]

As I mentioned in the other thread, I would love to see an advanced version of the either (or both) the bunyip and the slicer beetle that actually removed limbs. It would give some use to the regenerate spell.

In addtion to those two, I would love to see the following:

The dragon horse (and the ki-rin) - mainly because the ki-rin was in the 1e Monster Manual.

The leprechaun (and the clurichaun and far darrig) - another 1 e creature.

The vilstrak - while low CR, it is still a good creature to fill the roles of the umber hulk and hooh horror.

I don't remember this thing, what did he look like?

[David Fryer]

Like a big stony humanoid bug with clawed oversized hands.

Thanks... I'm still blanking on it though. Sounds cool.

It is also capable of melding through stone to ambush creatures.

[Callous Jack]

So I guess Gryphs will be going in the next Bestiary...

I guess we're just going to have to do a Tome of Horrors: Pathfinder Edition :)

Clark your'e sitting on a gold mine with that one. Collect all the best bits from the Tomes and watch the folks go wild.

[Callous Jack]

Wow, that would be great!

[gigglestick]

Can we preorder it now?

[Vigil]

How about now?

Very much would like to see clockworks. Especially given the stuff i have been reading the the Absolom guide.

And the JuJu zombies...

+1 as well especially the Ogrillion. Fills a nice slot, although Ogerkin kinda work too.

Even if you have to break it up into two volumes, I want a print edition!

Well why would I use a handy, free website when I can pay $40 for a hardcover book? Pffft.

...

Hmm. That didn't sound right.

Very nice.

But I would still like a PDF and dead tree addition for when I don't have internet access...

Oh certainly. We'll probably compile them all into a PDF when done but just didn't want to keep remaking it along the way.

Because you want to support Paizo? I say use the free ones until there are ones available from Paizo, then buy the book and decide which ones you like better.

Until then you kind of can't beat free :)

That would be nice and maybe you guys could start making a few other products too. Would love to see The Slumbering Tsar parts 2 and 3 as well as ToH Pathfinder edition.

Don't go teasing us, Clark. There's some of us that get really excited when you say such things. <--

I'm already saving my money.

I'm afraid Tricky Owlbear will beat Clark to the punch! We're producing a monster book called Forgotten Foes. Perhaps you'd like to know more? :)

Otherwise, coolness! And bonus points for Giant (space) Hamsters! I wonder if we'll ever see stats for Wooly Rupert?

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

The first three:
1) Time Elemental
2) Midnight Peddler
3) Crypt Thing/Guardian

But I'm going to include the rest for completeness:
Cloud Dragon

Mist Dragon

Salt Drake

Air Elemental Dragon

Fire Elemental Dragon

Wood Giant

Tallow Golem

Mummy of the Deep

Necrophidius

Skulleton

[Russ Taylor]

Aurumvorax is probably my #1 choice :)

Hey Clark - if you do decide to produce a Tome of Horrors for Pathfinder, call me :)
