Well the candy mountain version are the candy gummi bears but I agree the Disney version would be awesome as a player race.
Thanks Wannabe Demon Lord, there are a lot creatures on that list that I would really like too see.
Ballybog- The could be something of a mud imp but we probably already have mud mephit, but thanks anyway, I don't have a proper Mud Monster in my own collection of monsters so for my own RPG this monster is perfect, thanks!
Murrisk- I can always use more poisonous creatures for my Vish Kanya clan, Lavellan, Svara and Basilisk are the ones I have so far that are really poisonous, so if you know more please share :-p
Suileach- With creatures with many eyes you can do a lot, and a sea monster with many eyes isn't there yet!
Cughtagh- buggane being the Mole-Ogre this creature could be the Mole-Goblin, something like a naked mole-rat humanoid, very freaky.
Brollachan- I love mist spirits so I can't leave them out! Good find!
The ones I mentioned a lot here so I automaticly want them all in:
The Afanc from real myth however is far to boring for my taste, just another lake monster so I want a Afanc that is creative with the bones of its victims much like a real beaver is creative with wood the Afanc makes dams from the bones of its victims to block rivers and to create traps.
The worst mistake pathfinder can make is to turn Afanc into the stupid D&D Charybdis-fish monster, that is something I would find utterly disturbing.
Boobrie- Killer crane monsters
Burrach Bhadi- The Wizard's Shackle, magic draining worm monster
Cat Sith- Cat monster, considered a witch's familiar transformed
Cu Sith- Giant green fairy dog
Shellycoat- Water monster whose body is covered in shells
Sianach- Hideous carnivorous deer
Afanc- Croc/beaver hybrid
Dobhar Chu- Awesome Dire Otter, already discussed
Rawhead/Bloody Bones- Disturbing skinless Bogeyman, discussed previously
I have been wanting the Cu Sith/Sidhe and Cat Sith/Sidhe since like the Bestiary 3 wishlist.

I just saw the trailer for the new Cosmos series again, and it made me look up a little creature again, that I had seen once before. And I thought it would be an awesome monster:
Giant Waterbear CR 13
This creature vaguely resembles a giant eight-legged caterpillar with a small round maw instead of a head
N Huge Vermin (aquatic)
Init: -1, Senses: Blindsense, Perception +0
DEFENSE
AC 25 (-1 DEX, -2 Size, +18 natural armor)
HP 370 (19d8+285)
FORT +26 REF +5 WILL +6
DR 40/slashing, Magic Resistance 25
Immune Fire, Cold, Poison, Critical hits
OFFENSE
Speed 20 ft. swim 30 ft. climb 10 ft.
Melee bite +22 (2d6+10 plus grab), slam +22 (3d6+10)
Space 15 ft. reach 10 ft. (15 ft. with bite)
STATISTICS
STR 30, DEX 8, CON 40, INT -, WIS 10, CHA 6
Base Atk +14, CMB +26, CMD 35 (can't be tripped)
Skills: Swim +18, Climb +18
SQ hold breath, cryptobiosis, environmental resistance
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Cryptobiosis: Giant waterbears are able to survive without food, water or even air to breathe, once completely bereft of breath or water the waterbear enters a cryptobiotic state, instead of dying it falls unconscious and appears dead (a DC 25 heal or knowledge (nature) check reveals the actual condition), until it comes into contact with water again, it revives in a process that requires 2d4 rounds, upon which it is fully capable of acting normally again. A giant waterbear can remain in cryptobiotic state for 1d100+200 years, if it doesn't revive by the end of this period, it dies.
Environmental resistance: Giant Waterbears are immune to the effects of extremely hot or cold weather and the hazards of outer space (they still can't breathe in outer space).

The opposite of the Broken Soul would be nice. Like an "Enlightened Soul" a evil outsider that is good. Why it would be cool? To cause conflict wit the characters. To make them think the enlightened Barbazu is still a vile fiend and battle it until they realize their error. And because i'm a little sick of so much evil in the bestiaries.

I second that completely
I would also like an "enlightened soul" template.

Burrach Bhadi- The Wizard's Shackle
I don't really know the real legend that much, but I hated the small creature D&D gave us.
Instead I would like a dog-sized Leech-monster that instead of blood drinks the mana/magic from mages, draining them not only from their mana-supplies but it also drinks away their spellcasting ability and their spell-knowledge so the wizards/sorceresss/necromancers/whatever lose complete spell levels and forget to spells completely.
Also for as long as the Wizard's Shackle is attached on a mage the mage can't cast spells, hench it's name shackle.
At first it appears as a normal giant leech, but when it fed it turns into a glowing blue monster, it can use the stored mana/magic as form of telekinesis-attacks, using the stored magic/mana to lift or crush things around it. Or maybe it can release the magic in a ultimate magic-nova attack when it drained too much magic/mana.
I really don't like turning up old stones, but I'd really like to see Demogorgon in B5, regardless of what people say about it. Look, Demogorgon exists in Golarion, even though he has yet to enter the stage. As said earlier, Paizo doesn't want to add Demogorgon because they would need to change his design since the usual "two-headed baboon with with tentacle arms" design is copy written by Wizards of the Coast and apparently, fans wouldn't like a new design... even though this demon lord once had his baboon heads replaced by hyena heads in the Book of Vile Darkness.
Seriously guys, how many monsters got redesigned for Pathfinder and "got away with it"? Fans just need to accept that some creatures, as iconic as they are, will receive redesigns when converted for Pathfinder.
At best, give him a human form... with his true form remaining a mystery.

Amarok - This beast is a gigantic wolf that roams about in the deep woods waiting to hunt down and devour anyone foolish enough to venture out there alone.
Source: Inuit Mythology
Bonnacon - The Bonnacon (also known as Bonasus) is a bull-like beast with a horses mane. It also has two horns that are curved inward. It protects itself by discharging foul fumes and a long trail of dung. This dung is so hot that it sets fire to and burns anything it comes in contact with.
Source: Asian/European Mythology
Caladrius - The Caladrius is a snow-white bird that will refuse to look at anyone who is ill and dying. It is also said to be able to cure a sick individual by taking their illness onto itself. It then flies away dispersing the sickness, purging and curing itself in the process.
Source: Roman Mythology
Cerastes - This large serpent was said to be incredibly flexible. It would lie in the sand with only its horns sticking out waiting for its victims. It is described as either having two large ram-like horns or four pair of smaller horns.
Kludde - Though the Kludde is usually described as being a large black dog, it can also have the appearance of a horse, cat, bat or even a frog. It is identified by the blue flame that flickers about its head and the sound of rattling chains. This beast jumps on the back of travelers that venture onto lonely roads and tears them apart with its sharp teeth and claws.

My view of it is pretty much the same, although I think it should stay relatively small, otherwise it stops making sense that it's attached to a medium creature. I would probably also limit it's offensive ability...that way they can be used as a more passive way of containing enemy magic users (But going Nova if it's hps decrease below a certain threshold is a pretty good idea)

Well the problem is that James Jacob has no interest in a demogorgon that isn't a "two-headed baboon with tentacle arms", and he is the demon lord guru and in charge of them for Paizo, and I don't see other staff overruling him, especially since he is creative director for Pathfinder/Golarion
Failing some scenario where WOTC decides to give their IP away, I would say the chance we get a Demogorgon in Bestiary 5, 6, 7, etc are pretty much 0.0000001%

Yeah, I know, I've read it before...
Still a shame that WotC has some sort of copyright on a design. I didn't see them sueing Paizo because Dagon, Kostchtchie or Pazuzu looked like their own, nor do I doubt that they ever will sue them for making Baphomet look like a minotaur, Juiblex like an amorphous blob and Orcus like a demonic fanged ram.
Hell, Asmodeus from both publishers look the same, WotC didn't do a thing about it (pun totally intended).
I can't remember the story behind all of those, but some were made OGL by Tome of Horrors (Orcus, some spelling of Jubilex, etc), while others are similar enough to the mythological/Lovecraft depiction that WOTC can't sue them (Asmodeus, Pazuzu, Dagon fall in here).
Baphomet's design actually was changed...he is still lord of minotaurs, but is now more goat-like. However not sure if Baphomet was ever used all that much by WOTC, and at least it appears there really wasn't particular attachment to the WOTC image
Ah the dreaded Bonnacon or the flaming poo beast, I remember that one from long ago. Though I could have sworn it discharged it's intestine that would then burst into flames.
Long ago? People talked about it some month ago...
I am talking about from a first edition monster D&D book that I had a long time ago.

Are there any creatures in Pathfinder that can pull weapons from their own body and wield them?
No there aren't really such creatures.
I would kill for a creature that can pull its own bones from its body to use as weapons.
A perfect mythological creature that could make it bones grow from its body would be the Rompo, the infamous African Cryptid monster half flesh and half bones with pathfinderized ability to make its bones grow larger from its skin.

I've seen the image recently and... yeah ok, he's kinda awkward; the Lord of Minotaurs looks like a goat instead of a bull... 3rd party sources usually went with the minotaur design, dunno why Paizo went with the goat one.
As for if WotC ever used him, yes they did, twice:
1) Fiendish Codex I - Hordes of the Abyss; Baphomet is the first Demon Lord presented... maybe because his name starts with "B". Dagon, Demogorgon, Fraz-Urb'luu, Graz'zt, Juiblex, Kostchtchie, Malcanthet, Obox-ob, Orcus, Pale Night, Pazuzu, Yeenoghu and Zuggtmov were shown in this book as well.
2) There as a Dragon Magasine issue about Baphomet, much like there was for other Demon lords, and again, Baphomet was shown and "stated". His cult was further developped than in the Codex though.
As far as Demon Lords go, we currently have these (in various Paizo sources):
- Dagon (B4)
- Kostchtchie (B4)
- Pazuzu (B4)
- Nocticula (AP #76)
- Shax (AP #74)
- Sifkesh (AP #75)
- Xoveron (AP #73)
- Baphomet (AP #77)
- Deskari (AP #78)
For the rest, these are the ones that everyone can use, including Paizo:
- Fraz-Urb'luu
- Juiblex
- Orcus
While I wouldn't mind at all if Paizo would reprint the six Lords presented in APs, the last three could do nicely as new creatures.
Finally, with the inclusion of Shax as a Demon Lord, pretty much EVERY entity from the Ars Goetia could be converted into Demon Lords, or Archdevils, depending of the desired allegiances. On a side note, Shax was also a vestige for the binder in 3.5 Tome of Magic, which included another bunch of entities from the Ars Goetia as vestiges.
They went with the goat one to avoid WoTC trademark, but also to stick with the historical folklore of Baphomet. I personally love the way he looks more than the minotaur.

That doesn't add up... In 3 sources (Pathfinder Campaign Setting, Lords of Chaos and Inner Sea World Guide), Baphomet is said to be a hulking minotaur.
Baphomet: Lord of the Minotaurs, Demon Lord of Beasts and Labyrinths. Baphomet is one of Lamashtu’s favored consorts, and while the original minotaurs were the children of the Demon Queen, an increasing number have come to view Baphomet as their true lord. Baphomet looks like a hulking, muscular minotaur with sharp teeth and immense horns — he wields a magical glaive made of rare red adamantine in battle.
Why would they do a massive 180, or a hard left turn, like this? Baphomet is open-source material. Sword & Sorcery statted him in Tome of Horror as a minotaur, just like WotC statted him as a minotaur.
While I can understand the real-world image, I can't really wrap my head around the fact that no design modification was necessary, because everyone previously depicted him as a minotaur.
Next thing you'll tell me is that Orcus is gonna be a sketeal dog instead of a demonic ram, right?
by not used much....I meant that Baphomet hadn't figured as a major character in a module or other DnD storyline, whereas Orcus was much more heavily used. (I have no idea if that is actually true since stuff before Pathfinder tends to be before my time, with the exception of the dragonlance/forgotten realm novels)
There are actually a ton of demon lords still to stat if you check out Book of the Damned's volume on demons, but personally I hope Bestiary 5 does the Horsemen or Archdevils. with 9 separate demon lords statted up, the other outsiders aren't looking that hot.
Yes I agree, we need more non-demon demi-gods like the horsemen, protean lords, elemental lords, the eldest, etc.
I prefer the goat headed version of baphomet. Also it says that baphomet takes minotaur form when he shows himself to his minotaur followers.
Yes I agree, we need more non-demon demi-gods like the horsemen, protean lords, elemental lords, the eldest, etc.
Honestly, archdevils, say... Dispater, Belial and Mephitospheles, all 4 Horsemen, all 4 Elemental Lords and 3 new Empyreal Lords, would do the tricks.
For the rest, proteans could use 6 more members and inévitables could use 5 more members.
I wouldn't put my money on new demon-lords in bestiary 5, this one will feature the devil lords and others, I would really dislike it if the book will have more lords than normal monsters, I hope bestiary 5 is much like 4, some lords but much more normal monsters. But with far less Templates and playable races.

That's what I finally accepted: no demon lord, but more of the rest.
Less templates? 2 or 3 would be ok.
PC races? Eh eh... which one? Aside from the Skinwalker presented in Blood of the Moon, I don't think they released a PC race recently. Still, an alternative to the Dragonborn... and the unusable half-dragon template... would be a nice bonus.
Excluding the PC races from Inner Sea Bestiary, They have also introduced Kuru (The Shackles Campaign Setting book) and Triaxians (Reign of Winter). Not sure if any more new races are on the horizon, but I imagine that if there are not, then we might expect to see a few more completely new PC races in Bestiary 5.

I'd like to see a couatl bloodline for aasimar, or at least some time of progeny of the couatl.
Let's see:
- Android
- Ghoran
- Lashunta
- Monkey Goblin
- Syrinx
(All from Inner Sea Bestiary, so they might be excluded from B5. Then again, the Dragon Empire races made it into B3 and B4...)
- Kuru
- Skinwalker
- Triaxian
(All from other Paizo booklets)
In B4, there were 10 PC races. I only count 8 now that remain to be added. Not a necessicity, but still getting 8 races in B5 would be an improvement by 20%.
I wouldn't mind like 3 templates and 5 playable races which aren't based on mythology cuz I really don't like playable races based on real mythology creatures so that their CR ratings are messed up and Sylphs end up weaker than Giant Centipedes because they gain levels on the Playable Race scale, I love the CR Ratings, but not for playable races because that is very different.
I wouldn't like all playable race creatures to be old ones, I rather see new ones we never seen before + Triaxians because they are OK.
I wouldn't like all playable race creatures to be old ones, I rather see new ones we never seen before + Triaxians because they are OK.
The main problem I see is that ever since B3, Advanced Race Guide and APs, no PC race ever debuted in a Bestiary; B4 has races that were shown before in other books, such as the 5 new races in the ARG that made use of the race building system.
Sure, new races can happen, but I feel like Paizo now needs to expose them better in other source materials than simply in Bestiaries... unless they're willing to have 2 pages for PC races instead of just one.
I'd be happy if they introduce a race similar to the Dragonborn, as I said, but maybe that's for, I don't know, an upcoming booklet called Blood of Dragons, in the same vein of Blood of Fiends/Angels/the Night/The Moon.
Alternative dragonborn = Wyvaran
If that's our only option, then it's a saaaaaad day...
So you want a human-dragon hybrid I see... As long as it's not overpowered and it's unique I'm fineAlternative dragonborn = WyvaranIf that's our only option, then it's a saaaaaad day...
I'll be honest with you: Yes, I would like a bona fide bipedal dragon-like humanoid that isn't an outshoot of a dumb cannon fodder-like race. No seriously, kobolds were often associated with true dragons back in 3.5 and that seems to have remained in Pathfinder, so why on [Pathfinder creation deity]'s green Golarion did they went with a wyvern instead of a true dragon for a hybrid race?
I've made my own from what I could use with the Race Builder. However, I feel like Paizo can do better... and official... and probably better balanced and playtested too. The Dragonborn were made a primary race in 4e, gone from a secondary race in 3.5, so I don't see why Paizo couldn't do the same here in Pathfinder.
- Take a lizardfolk
- Take it look dragon-like on all aspects
- Remove its lizardfolk traits
- Replace them with dragon traits, keyed to any of the ture dragons
- DONE! (kinda, but still, you get my point)
Furthermore, the Dragonborn was the closest thing to "play as a dragon without busting any rule" back in 3.5, so I'd like that same feeling in Pathfinder, especially since they pretty barred half-dragons from being used by PCs. I'm aware that they literally got fed up with how frequent the half-dragon template was used in games, but they could have at least given us a suitable alternative.
They made aasimars to provide the need for half-celestials, tieflings for half-fiends and even now skinwalkers for lycanthropes. So where's the suitable PC race to compensate the inability to have half-dragon PCs?
When people think of dragon humanoids, they see strong, tough, wise and regal-looking creatures, not a skittish, purple, simple-minded and canine-looking hybrid like the Wyvaran.
Wyvarans are for kobold and wyvern lovers, but not so much for actual dragon lovers. A wyvaran chieftain leading a kobold tribe looks like an excellent idea for a NPC, and slapping the actual half-dragon template to explain a blessing from Tiamat works even better (Tiamat has a stinger as well, so...). However, for your big, muscular, dragon-headed guy, a wyvaran isn't gonna cut it.
I wasn't a fan of the half-Anubis half-dragon looking wyvaran art from B4 as well.
I wouldn't mind seeing those 8 races reprinted in B5 since it looks like the hardcover bestiaries are no longer the place introduce new 0HD races.
Personally I would like an actual playable half-dragon race that looks human with some dragon traits and with racial feats can gain wings, tail, breath weapon, etc. I would say it would have +2 Str +2 Cha, +1 natural armor, sleep/paralysis resistance/immunity, energy resistance, +2 perception, +2 sense motive.
I wouldn't mind seeing those 8 races reprinted in B5 since it looks like the hardcover bestiaries are no longer the place introduce new 0HD races.
I don't get why people are taking the baseline of B4 as the new baseline for future bestiaries. B4 had no new races simply because the NPC codex meant that the book had to incorporate 2 years worth of 0HD races, and during that time period we got an entire book on races which had sample race builder races, plus we got an entire new continent, which had 4 new races.
The only way I envision Bestiary 5 as not introducing new races is if it's delayed multiple years and in the meanwhile Garund, Casmaron, or Arcadia are fleshed out, or we get a LOT of Distant Worlds material.
Excluding the PC races from Inner Sea Bestiary, They have also introduced Kuru (The Shackles Campaign Setting book) and Triaxians (Reign of Winter). Not sure if any more new races are on the horizon, but I imagine that if there are not, then we might expect to see a few more completely new PC races in Bestiary 5.I'd like to see a couatl bloodline for aasimar, or at least some time of progeny of the couatl.
Although a couatl bloodline would probably not be something that would appear in a bestiary.
I want a giant, tentacled pipe organ that blows people away with sonic attacks.
Is that okay?
I want to see a monster based on the "Plague Doctor" trope. Maybe make it an undead or aberration.
Well James Jacobs did say that there wouldn't be any reprints from the Innersea Bestiary until it runs out of print(wich it hasn't) and maybe they might reprint some stuff from it.
A couatl bloodline would be awesome and would be on the long list of sorcerer bloodlines I would like to see. But a bestiary isn't the place such things would be found.
I hope we don't have to wait till they flesh out Arcadia, Casmaron, Garund, and/or distant worlds to get Bestiary 5. Besides that doesn't make sense, the longer we wait for the B5 the more likely the races would be reprints.
I think there are a lot of D&D/TOME OF HORROR/MYTHOLOGY/FANTASY/GAMES/FOLKLORIC and MILLIONS OF OTHER monsters available before they have to dig in the alien/golarion-specific stuff.
Awa-hon-do z - An insect Spirit that bites people from Abenaki mythology.
I can't find ANYTHING about this creature, but there are so few insect monsters in mythology, I really want to know more about this monster.
Does any of the monster-experts knows anything about this thing?
Well James Jacobs did say that there wouldn't be any reprints from the Innersea Bestiary until it runs out of print(wich it hasn't) and maybe they might reprint some stuff from it.
I thought it was because they would like to keep some stuff exclusive to Golarion, while everything else featured in Bestiaries is for genertic settings.
I hope we don't have to wait till they flesh out Arcadia, Casmaron, Garund, and/or distant worlds to get Bestiary 5. Besides that doesn't make sense, the longer we wait for the B5 the more likely the races would be reprints.
Distant worlds got a few acticles here and there, but again, you're likely be travelling in Golarion and its regions than on other planets.
Also, you can't rush them into making B5. Sure, you can ask them to take every monster featured in APs and pack them into a single book (there's enough to fill 1 or 2 books easily), but it will lack that certain flair to it.
Considering it might be another 2-5 years before they might flesh out one of those places. I wouldn't want to wait more then 2 years for B5 though I would be surprised if we get B5 as the final hardcover of this year.
I would still buy a bestiary that is nothing but reprints from APs, modules, and other pathfinder books. Though I would still like to have one that is a mix of new and old like the past books.

I don't mean couatl sorcerer bloodline. I mean like a monster that is sired by a couatl. Whether it's a new type of aasimar or its own thing, I'd like to see it.
Definitely want some more Distant Worlds stuff in B5. Aside from the Coeurl (which I'd love to see so hard), I want to see a race inspired by the alien elephant man from Robert E Howard's Tower of the Elephant. Little shout outs to awesome books like that would be cool.
