New names of expanded monsters


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I am planning an adventure that involves the rakshaka from Bestiary. This one likes to use complicated words, so he would refer to himself not as a rakshaka, but with the name of his species. (The tiger-headed ones) I ran into a problem when I realised that, unlike his cousins in Bestiary 3, he didn't have a proper name. A quick check later and I realised that that was the same for all of the Bestiary monsters that were expanded upon in Bestiary 3. (An example would be the kyton) I was wondering if anyone knew the correct name.


In most cases, the info you seek is in the front matter for the expanded 'races':

Quote:

While there are many different types of rakshasas, from

the lowly raktavarna to the powerful maharaja, the most
commonly encountered members of this race (the rakshasas
presented in the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary) are not known
by any other name—they are more powerful than some
members of their kind and less powerful than others, and
represent the ideal midpoint between servitor and master.
These rakshasas can be recognized by their animal heads
(those of great cats, snakes, crocodiles, apes, and birds of
prey being the most common) and backward-facing hands.
Feral traits and strangely reversed joints are a hallmark of
all types of rakshasas, in fact, features that most rakshasas
can hide through their supernatural ability to change
shapes or by means of powerful illusions.


Thanks, missed that.
