Do you want the entire template (all its rules and so on) or just it's name and a descripion?
No custom templates I'm guessing,
as I made a good number of them for my homebrew games.

My favorite has got to be the Bloody Maw template from Rite Publishing's Books of Monster Templates. If I ever end up running a Pathfinder game I am really looking forward to slapping that template on a a saber-tooth tiger for some reason.
Restless Souls from the book of the same title, Rite Publishing. I love the concept of one who's not done yet. There's so much opportunity for great story telling and role playing involved with this template.
Love the advanced template from the bestiary, it lets me run most adventures despite my stat happy players.
I'm surprisingly fond of the Fey template in Paizo's Bestiary 3; it finally lets us have creatures of fey descent to match those half-celestials/dragons/fiends/donuts out there.

Just its name and what book it can be found in, and why you like it.
I really like the Jagganath template from Book of Monster Templates. It's one of the few things that can phase my level 20 group.
I'm also fond of the Worm that Walks from Bestiary 2. "What do you mean I only disintegrated one worm?"
I like flying monsters, so Half-Celestial (Bestiary 1) and Fey Creature (Bestiary 3). I'm dreaming of a barbarian on a winged tiger...
Vampire. It just gives so much and totally changes the flavor of a monster and the dynamic of the challenge.
GIEF PDF NAO!
Iziak, that does sound interesting.
Do you have to be a drunk wizard to use it? Because that's the only way I will accept the creation of an owlbear.
Just dotting this for now!
Thank you for offering this to players :)

Today I am giving away a PDF copy of Fantastic Maps: Square Rigger.
All you have to do to qualify for your chance to win, is post your favorite pirate adventure (professional or homebrew).
There's no such requirement listed, no. Just leave it up to the GM. :)
The template is one of the harder ones to use in the PFRPG without first converting it, because of its complexity, but it can create some interesting things. The book's example is an "arrowtaur", an arrowhawk/minotaur hybrid which actually looks pretty awesome.
I once used the amalgam template to create minons for a evil wizard that fused villagers to ogre skeletons. The villagers were still alive and could speak, but had no control over the creature.
Thank you! The address is worldsmith?

My favorite pirate adventure is one I ran about ten years ago. In my world, Drow were not a race, but a curse placed upon elves that were found to be wicked in the eyes of their gods. While 90% of Drow were cursed for, well, being evil, a portion of them had been punished for a single act. So unbeknownst to the majority of the world, there were actually Drow who spents the rest of their lives in service to good in an attempt to lift their curse. There was one group in particular dedicated to wiping out the Pirate Scourge along the east coast in the hopes of redemption.
SO… when the party's ship was boarded by a bunch of Drow Pirate-Hunters who mistook them for pirates, the party in turn immediately assumed that they were being boarded by evil Drow Pirates, which was funny enough.
It didn't help that I played up the sea-speak. There's nothing like a drow in Pirate Captain guard screaming "We'll murder tha lot o' ya t'ievin' bustards!"
I already have this book and I'm torn between the Glassilisk, War, and Walking Fortress templates. I also love the Afflicted and Unhinged templates, perfect for using those high CR monsters and freaking out PCs who have seen it all and have the Bestiaries memorized.
My favorite is the Savage Tide. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water--your sailing into the Abyss.
Thank you! The address is worldsmith?
Steve address is 'wordsmith'.
Nope, it's worldsmith. Because he smiths worlds.

I'm too often the GM, but for the longest time a player had an Ancient Greek Centaur Barbarian in my game. My favorite visual was him charging out of their dirigible at a pair of black dragons using his ring of flying.
I also had a lot of fun playing a kank a few weeks ago when I dropped into that friend's existing Dark Sun campaign. Even if I spent half the game dominated by psychic plants into attacking my owner.
It wasn't QUITE running a monster as a PC, but he was more often monster than humanoid...
I was playing a gnome druid, fairly high level. We were trapped on an airship that had a big landing deck on the back. On the landing deck were 4 evil dragons (Size Large) who were magically conrtolled with collars. A hobgoblin with his back to us had the control rods. One party member snuck up behind him then we used benign transposition to swap my druid with the other character. He wild shaped into a Dire Bear and shredded the hobgoblin in one round. We were suddenly in possession of 4 dragon mounts!
We decided to release the mounts one at a time after working a deal where they CLEARLY understood that we had set them free and had wished them no harm.

Looks interesting! Sign me up.
Iziak, that does sound interesting.
Do you have to be a drunk wizard to use it? Because that's the only way I will accept the creation of an owlbear.
What about a Drunk bear and a giant owl?
The Rabbit Hole? Does it lead to an underground wonderland?

...lol...
Alice in Wonderland is (and probably always will be) my favorite fantasy story of all time. It is asolutely brilliant! When DW was pregnant, we read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass to our son in the womb. He still loves to be read to.
Sylvie and Bruno and the sequel were good too, though a lot weirder and a lot harder to "get."
This time, too?
Assuming command of the post.
Break out the monster creation guidelines, lads. This is going to be a big one, with appropriately big rewards.
This contest will run for 2 days. Details will follow.

Today I am giving away a PDF copy of 101 Magical Armor and Shield Properties.
All you have to do to qualify for a chance to win is post the most memorable magical piece of armor (or shield) from you game.
Well nevermind then. I'll be returning to the idea at a later date...
Beranbar (Bear's Resistance), Armor of Earth
Golden suit of complete armor +4, gauntlets like paws, helm like a bear head with jaws open; same powers of a Ring of Earth Elemental Command. It was actually a gift from the earth goddess to a barbarian champion destined to become the earth element avatar and save the world with his companions...
