Will there be a chance for us to have some input into which monsters get chosen. If it matters I want the nightwalker in it.
We don't open up the monster selection for Bestiaries to the public.
And It's a bit soon to start talking about Bestiary 3, when Bestiary 2 isn't out yet.
That all said... fans of all the nightshades should end up pretty happy by the end of this year.

Woo hoo!
Nightshades were cool enough to be the only creature I pulled into 1st edition *from* 3.0. (Later found out there were 2nd edition stats - the conversion was meaner though :).They have featured most prominently in my world.

Will the Platypus be in there? Because we all know how much you love the billed creatures.
You could create a template - Duck-billed it would be very simple to add to any creature.
Duck-billed: +10 Awesome to any creature possessing this template.
Imagine the horror on the faces of players as the face a duckbilled, savage, feral, fiendish, dire, vampire, flumph.

All it means is that we're still writing Bestiary 2. If it does well, a Bestiary 3 and a Bestiary 4 and a Bestiary 8 and a Bestiary 34 and so on are pretty easy, no-brainer books to keep doing. As long as they keep selling, of course.

If my market research* is correct, you can manage to do at least 6 of these.
*Market research limited to knowing how many 3.X monster books** are on my shelf at home.
**Fiend Folio counts. I don't actually have number 4 or 5, but I have Tome of Horrors and Book of Fiends instead.

I'm still working on this. How can we buy books you haven't written yet to get you to tell us about them? That ain't right. [I should have posted this with a different alias. JJ is not thinking dumb enough.]

I'm a big fan of templates. Dark world versions, dragon types, ones that give new opportunities to use the generic stock creatures in very new ways or create a new setting. Also I agree with the above duck billed statement, nothing better than duck powered up by wizard spells into a horrific billed beast :P
Also, had a nice Hellfire Wyrm final boss encounter once, I'd like to see a new version of that.

IIRC it had low hit points for its CR, but I did like the concept. I homebrewed it into a template that devoted itself to Asmodeus or the Mephistopheles. I dont remember which

There can never be too many monster books! Keep them rolling! Heck I would be happy with a full sized monster book each month! *drool*

I bought every last monster book from 3.5; not that I used any of them, but just because I LOVED to read about the monsters, drool over the artwork, etc. Even now I still buy the monster books for 4e even though I've never played 4 and probably never will. Monster books still make me giddy as an adult :)
So in conclusion, I will habitually and readily purchase every Bestiary that Paizo puts out!
