Tiny Magical Beasts


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So the spell beast shape IV says
"This spell functions as beast shape III except that it also allows you to assume the form of a Tiny or Large creature of the magical beast type"

Only problem is there are no tiny magical beasts in the bestiary I can find, or am I missing something?

I'm reasonably certain that's in there just to cover future options from later bestiary releases and others sources (like modules) where such a monster might pop up.


Chupacabra from one of the adventure paths (can't recall which one) is a tiny magical beast. Google it up and I'm sure you'll find it.

There may be in future bestiaries. my guess would be that it was designed to be 'open ended' for that reason.


Tiny magical beast = Small magical beast + Young creature template? :)

Stirges are Tiny magical beasts. Also Carbuncles from pathfinder #31/Kingmaker #1, Stolen Land.

That's clever, so a young pixie would work?

Pixies are Fey not Magical Beast. And I wouldn't allow the Young template to be used for Form of the Beast


Ah right, I knew that
