It would be nice to have creatures similar but copyright laws would be a lot stronger then a creature from a 50's/60's sci-fi movie. So I doubt they would be able to make them that close to there designs.
Iron Gods would be a nice place for Greys.

So between the Technology Guide and People of the Stars books coming out, I'd really love to see creatures similar to the Xenomorph aliens and the Predator aliens. In particular, the Xenomorphs' design is so evocative of fear and, well, alien physiology while still having a resemblance to something familiar. To me, that's the essence of horror. And there are few that can really capture what Giger did. Although I'll admit, the Nightmare Ettercap in the Bestiary 4 came close :)
The Book of Vile Darkness had the Kythons, which were essentially a nod to Aliens's xenomorphs... down right to the special ability of having a tongue that ended with a maw.
Ah, Kythons look neat. I'll have to pick up that book another time
Also, Dragon quest is awesome! Imagine if Pathfinder mimic were as bad as the ones in Dragon Warrior Monsters... yikes

I'd actually like to see a demigod race, or creature, like what the titans eventually become. I mean, they started out somewhere. Sometimes the gods can get a little frisky.
We have the cold rider, but I'd like to see a playable hellfire ride like Ghost Rider. Something that burned you for sins committed. Be like some kind of outsider with inquisitor powers. Maybe give it a construct to ride.
I'd also like to see a playable doppelganger like the 3.5 changeling. In Pathfinder the creature of the same name is a hag descendent, but a doppelganger would be fun as well.
In an old 3.0 book I read, there's a magical beast called a 'mage killer'. It quite literally ate the powers of a mage before eating the actual mage. That'd be interesting to see converted and updated.
I love Dragon Quest, particularly number 8.
I agree about the hell rider thing and the burning sins ability! Dragon Quest sounds like a game I would not play... probably console anyway.

I suppose something like a 3.5 changeling wouldn't be too bad, but the hell rider seems way to powerful to be a 0 HD playable race, and would probably best be emulated as a higher CR monster, or for playable purposes, a prestige class.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if it was a 0 HD playable race but have its own racial archetype for inquisitor, or something that'd make the most sense for what he gets.

Well since a half-vampire is a dhampir then a half-doppleganger could be a playable race as well.
Ok... This thing is AWESOME!!!
Together with the Piasa would be awesome in bestiary 5!
Those who know say the Uktena is a great snake, as large around as a tree trunk, with horns on its head, and a bright blazing crest like a diamond on its forehead, and scales glowing like sparks of fire. It has rings or spots of color along its whole length, and can not be wounded except by shooting in the seventh spot from the head, because under this spot are its heart and its life. The blazing diamond is called Ulun'suti—"Transparent"—and he who can win it may become the greatest wonder worker of the tribe. But it is worth a man's life to attempt it, for whoever is seen by the Uktena is so dazed by the bright light that he runs toward the snake instead of trying to escape. As if this were not enough, the breath of the Uktena is so pestilential, that no living creature can survive should they inhale the tiniest bit of the foul air expelled by the Uktena. Even to see the Uktena asleep is death, not to the hunter himself, but to his family.
There is also a winged version, could be cool as evil Couatl.

I believe Lorthact in the Inner Sea Bestiary suits those needs, give it a different name, multiply him and make them kill wizards they dominate

Um, that's a CR 25. The mage killer, also known as the Mage Fiend, was a CR 5. It was from the Fantasy Bestiary.
I would like to see a creature like this one from the Thundarr the Barbarian cartoon. I t was this alien monster that was taking humans and what else it could find as food for it's long journey.
-It looked like a large red snake/lizard with 6 limbs, it's eyes could come out of it's skull as eye stalks. It had fangs like a vampire and could stand on it's hind legs.
-It could shoot eye beams that could stun, dispel magic, counter spell, and damage objects.
-It could burrow through solid ground and snow. It looked like it did it with heat or acid but lacked the ability to use this damage in combat.
-It could shoot webs from it's claws that Thundarr's sunsword could not effect but magic could.
-It was only vulnerable to the common cold wich weakened it a lot.

At higher levels maybe, but from 1st to 5th they're vulnerable. These creatures have SR, spell turning and dispel magic, and do level drain with bites against arcane casters specifically.
Perhaps I'll whip up another monster list tomorrow. Any one have any suggestions for culture?
Chinese or Korean would interesting.
Wasn't Ratatoskr appropriately sized for the world tree? I personally love the thought of a colossal squirrel.

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but a race similar to the Predators would be awesome! I know not everyone's a fan of the alien/predator crossover but I like the idea of an extraterrestrial (or extraplanar if you insist) with all these cool tech gadgets (the Technology Guide will be great for this), stalking both the PCs and something...else in the jungle.
Cue "enemy of my enemy" situation, and the Pred and PCs team up against a super Kython who has the advanced, half-fiendish templates or something.
Then cue numerous Arnold Schwarzenegger references. Cue me squealing like a Justin Beiber acolyte.
I would like some book based monsters
1)A wizard's spell book that becomes a intelligent construct that can fly and has spell like abilities based on wizard school focus and a slam attack that inflicts a status ailment based on it's school as well.
2)A magical beast or aberration that takes the form of a book, has a vicious bite attack. this one doesn't fly but can climb and swim. Maybe spits a glob of glue.

For Bestiary 5, Paizo should publish a Planetary Bestiary emphasizing the flora and fauna of the other planets of Golarion's solar system. (Assuming that Peoples of the Stars does not already do this.) Distant Worlds has a lot of references to odd creatures. It has a modest creature section but there's still lots of material to develop.
Bestiaries are setting neutral, so a hardcover bestiary can't really reference (other than obliquely) the specific details and names of planets in Golarion's solar system.

Saw a reference to an afanc a few posts above. That word is also transliterated 'addanc', and I design one for the award-winning Monsters of the River Nations book by Jon Brazer enterprises. They are a lot of fun.
The book is out of print, but you can still get the pdf and get over 20 new monsters and some other goodies.
Since Bestiary 4 has a Soulsliver, can Bestiary 5 have a Heartglod?
Heartglod? or do you mean Heartgold?
A hardcover bestiary for the other planets would be cool but that would be a different product then this thread is about.
I like the idea of a blinding ink attack for a book based monster CR500cricket.
I would like a monster that lives in a boot/shoe, maybe a type of gremlin or other fey creature.
We could use some diminutive and tiny size creatures of the humanoid and monstrous humanoid types.
Heartglod? or do you mean Heartgold?
Nope I mean Heartglod. Has to match the soulsliver.

personally, i'd like some of the old super-awesome undead of D&D 3E such as
-Vitreous Drinker, an undead covered of eyes, not only it eats eyes, the victim's eyes appear on its body AND the creature can see through the victim's emptied eye sockets, also it can summon spectral ravens for aid(perhaps working like Mage's Sword and/or Blood Raven Strike spells);
-Plague Spewer, a giant undead that vomits disease-carrying swarms;
-Crawling Head, the undead head of a giant that grows to Huge size and sithers around(Spider Climb, no less) on flesh and veins sprouting from its neck stump, has a Vorpal bite and stores the heads it eats in folds of flesh, gaining new powers(it can also make them scream), its only weakness is water;
-Salt Mummy, like a mummy only it can suck the water out of the victim's body;
-Ulgurstasta, a Huge undead mutant maggot that eats people, digests them and then spews them out as skeleton minions, it can also sprout razor wires to attack; the funniest thing is that these things are SMART;
-Hullathoin, it looks like a rotten dragon/dinosaur/whatever thing(its actual origin is not well-explained, but they mention it speaks draconic), it can detonate sores on its body to release corrosive fluids or undead swarms, and can dominate other undead;
-Corpse Gatherer, AKA what's worse than the dead in a graveyard animating as undead? the entire frickin' graveyard animating as a colossal undead full of other undead, this guy loves to engulf and bury people alive(Soul Included) in its mass of soil, tombstones and zombies, of course once you derstroy it all of the zombies emerge from its remains;
-Crawling Apocalypse AKA Mummified Kraken that swims in the desert sands, 'nuff said.
for new Undead, how about something like the animated, dessiccated husk of an aquatic creature like a merfolk or a sahuagin that died of dehydration, now swimming in the ground and sucking the moisture from the living in a desperate attempt of quenching its neverending thirst?
other great stuff would be
-more Asura
-more Div, perhaps inspired from the seven Amesha Daeva(archdemons) of zoroastrism
*Aeshma: a div of rage and hatred that drives people into mindless, wanton revenge quests, pushing their victims in harming as many innocents as possible, THEN when the victim realizes they did horrible things the Aeshma eats their soul. its weakness is that it flees in horror when a vengeful person forgives its enemy;
*Vidatu: a div of death that prevents the dead from resting in peace, rising them as undead under its control, it can snatch the souls of its victims and force them to watch as their reanimated corpses do the div's bidding, its weakness is positive energy;
*Tawrich: a div of Hunger that defiles food and drinks, driving people into desperate starvation, its weakness is blood;
*Dahaka: a div of deception that likes to manipulate and deceive to cause wars and disasters, has three heads, can spew fiendish scorpion swarms and bleeds fiendish snake swarms, the only way to get rid of it is forcing it to keep its word;
-more prehistoric animals, either dinosaurs, megafauna or cambrian invertebrates, how about Dunkleostheus, Kaprosuchus or trilobite swarms?
-more of those old crazy awesome monsters from 2E, such as the Fleas of Madness, the Albino Crocodile, the Rogue Moon, the Giant Vampire Frog, the Death Minnow and the ACID PIGEONS!
-more monsters from african mythology, such as the Inkanyamba(giant eel/serpent thing that controls weather), the Gbahali(kaprosuchus-like beast), the Adze(firefly vampire), the Ninki Nanka(giant dragon-like beast that looks like a horned monitor lizard), the Kasai Rex(a mystyc Tyrannosaurus) and the Malawi Terror Beast.
-new planetouched races, like Inevitable-blooded and Prothean-blooded or even Aeon-blooded(would be a nice splatbook: Blood of the Planes)
-a playable draconic race, something like the Dragonborn from 4E(one of the few good things in it) and the Spellscales from 3E(awful, but may work as a draconic expy of the Yuan-ti)
-a more balanced Serpentfolk breed to play as
-a playable Mind Flayer expy
-playable versions of humanoid monsters such as Medusas, Satyrs, Gnolls, Gargoles or Lizardfolk
-new giants, trolls and oozes, never enuff of them
-new templates
*pretty much every single template from Savage Species
*Half-Farspawn & Pseudonatural templates
*Book of Templates anyone?
*especially, some new templates that make monsters into puzzle bosses, forcing the players to use a strategy more complex than 'bash it until it dies'.
so?
All those D&D creatures are under copyright protection and Paizo won't make clones of them UNLESS they are from real mythology.
A cool animated skin monster from real mythology is the El Cuero, it's also a lake monster, ray-like.
Inkanyamba and Dunkleosteus are already in pathfinder Adventure paths.
I wished a very lot for Adze, so maybe it will be in Bestiary 5.

If you are a horror-freak like me you know the movie Dead Silence!
IN this cool horror movie about dolls there is this undead creature that resembles a women that is made into a doll and which turns other creatures into dolls, steals their tongues which end up in her own very abominable and long tongue, uses their voices to lure others close.
She also can teleport into her own dolls and spawn from those dolls.

Kshar'naja, welcome to the thread. You brought up something I've been wondering...
Does Ahriman have unique, named Divs that serve as his minions? I get the idea that he's about as strong as a Demon Lord, ArchDevil, or Horsemen, if not stronger, so does he have Div equivalents to the Nascent Lords, Infernal Dukes, or Daemonic Harbingers serving as his elite minions? It seems logical that he would. The Amesha Daeva would serve that role awesomely. Btw, when are we going to get stats for Ahriman?

Ahriman is CR26 so he is in the demon lord range of power.

Bestiary 3 says nothing about unique Divs, but in Zoroastrism Ahriman was served by seven Amesha Daeva, as opposed to Ahura Mazda's Amesha Spenta(Archangels, would be a nice source for new celestial lords), so yeah it would be nice to have some Amesha Divs, like the first genies to be corrupted by Ahriman.
speaking of which how about some new Books of the Damned, something like- Harbingers of Ruin: Divs
- Unmakers of Creation: Asuras
- Quenchers of Life: Qlippoth
-Scourges of the World: Oni and Rakshasa

however we need more bizarre, body horror-ish or just plain WTF undead, something like that Bogleech zombie comic that included zombies that regurgitate schools of miniature sharks, huge zombies with corpse lures like an anglerfish, and zombies whose heads detonate into fiery balls once chopped off. a great inspiration would be Braindead, Return of the Living Dead or Helldriver.
in general, more 'What in the Deepest Pits of the Nine Hells & Beyond is That?' monsters.
Dead Silence? sounds neat, i think i'll include something like that in my next campaign!
I would like to see some oozes that have a fly speed, some supernatural flight, natural bouncy in air like beholders, and/or maybe one with an anti-gravity/gravitational field ability.

I really isn't. The Boogeyman from Bestiary 2 is far closer. The thin man has a much more cryptid feel to him.
