There are so many mythical giants and ogres that could work as fey. Really, the vast majority of mythical giants could be interpreted that way if the design team felt like it.
I would like giant species that more closely resembled humanoid species other than humans. Lizardfolk giants, catfolk giants, tengu giants, just as examples.
Another thing I'd like to see is an extra rule section for existing templates and/or races. I know it's a looooooooooooong shot, but here goes:
- Rules for devilbound creatures with the new devils added since B5
* stat modifiers and spell-like abilities
- Manasaputra ancestry for aasimars, and other good-aligned outsiders
* Garudas and Peris are single species, so other could be added.
- Sahkil ancestry for tieflings, and other evil-aligned outsiders
* self explanatory
- Rules for half-dragons based on primal, imperial, outer, esoteric and the new category of dragons
* self explanatory, for breath weapons... and especially for the two-headed dragon.
Just add these in the appendix and it would be great. If we get new vampires and lycanthropesit would be nice to get respectiuve bloodlines for dhampirs and skinwalkers as well.
I just think that Bestiaries could easily update previous entries by adding them at the end.

Thing is, since it's RPG-line you would have to not only have that info for the new ones but also reprint the old ones otherwise it'd just be weird and annoying, and reprinting those type of things would take up decent page count.

Hmmm... in both Blood of Angels and Blood of Fiends, they wrote down bloodlines 2 per pages, as 2 columns. As for the templates, I can just see one page with charts for the extra materials. Nothing too fancy, just a chart for the new devils and another chart under it for the new breath weapons. Blood of the Night had 2 bloodlines per page, and Blood of the Moon had 1 bloodline for 2 pages, since they added feats as well.

I would also like more giant species that resemble non-human races like lashunta, goblin, catfolk, tengu, gnome, etc.
I am not talking about creatures that can alter there size like spriggins, I am talking about full on giants.
I focus enough on creatures i'd like to see, but I don't believe in positive energy, you can't have positive b$!~%%$& without some good old negative views.
I know Americans can't stand negative words, but I don't care.
This topic and the older ones are full of energy I put into myth creatures and others.
And bestiary 7 wishlist, yes it is a bit early for that, but I guess you didn't know that so it is not your fault.
A few elemental/environmental creatures is fine, but if we still see them around bestiary 4/5 I think they become boring fillers.
I don't hate the 5 dragons, I just think they are forces, why it always have to be 5?

It dates back to the 5 Chromatics and 5 Metallics, so...
Which I always disliked the most of all D&D monsters, so.

Oh, that's ok to hate it, your opinion afterall, it just felt like you didn't know the origin of the 5-dragon package :)
I personally like true dragons, so the more the better, mostly since I often use them as mentors or schemers ^_^
I wouldn't mind true dragons, but I for one wouldn't have minded it we sometimes got 3 and sometimes got 7. 5 is a strange number, even if the chromatic and metallic dragons started that.

Well, at least they're consistent XD
I like that every true dragon group has five members. I can't wait to see what the next set is like.
I also can't wait to find out what is in B6 so I can actually post stuff in the B7 wish list that was started several months too early.

I'm actually curious about the two-headed true dragon.
According to the description, there's "a new category of true dragon from the Outer Planes", not that planar dragons were unknown by D&D players though. Dude, we had the Astral Dragon (Astral Plane), Dream and Nightmare Dragons (Dimension of Dream), the Etheric Dragon (Ethereal Plane) and all 5 Primal Dragons (Plane of Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Shadows). It also mentions "dragons from Heaven". Notice the plural here. Heaven is just one plane, a LG one. So if they're going with Outer Planes, they're likely going with:
- LG Celestial Dragon (Heaven)
- CG Liberty Dragon (Elysium)
- CE Abyssal Dragon (Abyss)
- LE Hellfire Dragon (Hell)
- N Judgment Dragon (Purgatory)
I guess that there could be other non-true dragons from Heaven, but still, I doubt that they'll have more than 2 LG dragons representing Heaven here.
That being said... which one would be the two-headed dragon?
Heaven? Unless they took inspiration from Bayonetta, I don't recall many two-headed angels and archons.
Elysium? I get the chaotic environment, but... again, a two-headed azata would have been documented by now.
Purgatory? I could see it since a judge-like dragon would weight the pros/positive and cons/negative of a judgment before making it. Being judged by such a dragon would essentially have you hearing the good things and bad things about you from each head respectively and probably see both heads debating until one wins a Diplomacy check like in a Verbal Duel... which was implemented in Ultimate Intrigue BTW. I don't see them attacking each other though, perhaps their weakness is that if one head dies, it's fatal to the other.
Hell? Tiamat was a LE goddess living in the Baator back in the days, and her secretive inclusion in Pathfinder could lead to her being there, so a two-headed hellish dragon could be a servant.
Abyss? Demogorgon is the only two-headed demon lord documented and like in Elysium, chaos is everywhere in the Abyss, but to sport a second head would be a rare occurence though...
The two headed one is supposed to be something different then one of the true dragons.
The two headed dragon was also mentioned in the plural in the description but Mr. Jacobs said that there is only one type. So there might be only one type of heavenly dragon and the plural is saying they are not unique but an actual species.

I am hoping the outer planar dragons will have a more rounded alignment range like NG, NE, CN, LN, and N or at least any G, any E, any C, any L, and any N.
Can someone name some Fire Elemental-like myth monsters, that are 100% made from fire, so Ifrit, Salamander and Cherufe don't really count. They must come from mythology/folklore or cryptids.
Also some winged elves in myths?
Winged elves, check my earlier post. Whether they're elf-like or goblin-like could really just go down to aesthetic, as those are really broad terms when referencing creatures from actual lore. You could also try some of the various winged humanoids from Greek and Mesopotamian mythology, or the Badogiak, which was another creature from NA lore posted by MMCJawa, and definitely more elf than goblin. A thunder wielder.
Fire creatures, I'll get back to you. I assume you're not talking about ones that are just orbs of flame like the Will-O'-Wisp? Though there are even some of those in Japanese lore that take more interesting shapes. The Abura Bo is a humanoid made of fire (taking the form of a monk), and the Ziburinis is too (skeleton-like).
Oh, and the Efreet definitely does count. In Islamic lore, the Djinn had their entire bodies crafted from flame when they were created, though they didn't necessarily look that way.
If you want a creature that's literally just flame in a humanoid shape, I'm not sure. I'd be surprised if that doesn't exist, but I'd have to look further.
I'm aware of the Ziburnis and the Abura Bo, though I never like monk-based monsters, they just don't seem evil and can't have interesting plots in stories as religion sticks like glue to them.
Ziburnis could work, but in my mind it is still a skeleton on fire.
I know the Ifrit is suppose to be more like fire, but in my own mind they are always demonic and much like D&D, they control fire like Pyro (x-men) and are not made from it.
Of course i could just use Candileja, but I like to use those as burned hags/witches that return to life, so not really a fire elemental, and they are like Witchfires made form green flames (hag fire) so not like a fire elemental.
I just watched my own elemental group and then I came to see that fire elementals are rare in there... Some Ice elemental would also be welcome.

OMG marvelous! Thanks for the suggestion! I just got a marvelous idea!
One of my favorite MOnster Manual 2 (3.5 edition d&d) monsters is the Effigy (click for picture here) which was some fire horror elemental creature that invaded mortals and burned them with anger and hate from the inside out, turning them into burning corpses/skeletons.
Ziburinis could be just that in Pathfinder, an possession elemental of anger and flames that takes over its victims and feed on all the joy and warmth, leaving behind nothing more than a skeleton surrounded in hellish flames before infesting another victim.
There are only two things known from the real myth of the Ziburinis.
1) THey are shapeshifters (well taking over bodies can be viewed as shapeshifting)
2) Seeing them is a bad omen (well, if you see them in their burning skeleton form they are seeking for new bodies to infest, and so yes, seeing them is a bad omen for you.
Winged Goblins would be interesting and seeing winged elves make a come back would be cool.
Some pictures of the monsters I still like to see, these pictures are the way I'd like pathfinder to focus on with the creatures, they are like pretty perfect looks for the creatures.
Afanc (but with more crocodile features added)
A-Mi-Kuk (but inside ice, they can also hang from the ceiling)
Hraesvelgr (but with silver hawk-mask instead)
Mishibizhiw/Underwater Panther
Poludnica/Lady Midday (but with only half her face burned, one side must be pretty)
Mahaha (with ice-blue skin)
Kaw Kaw (no legs)
Asanbosam (no hands, but hook horror-like hooks)
Jubokko (with blood red leaves)
Alicanto (silver and golden feathers mixed)
Batibat (but with bark-like skin)
Aniwye (bigger tail)
Sianach (bigger antlers with all types of magic-charms hanging from it)
Invunche (different versions)
Nandi Bear (but tentacles come from mouth)
Zaratan (with rocks, plants and small plants on shell)
Muramasa Blade / Animated Sword
Ewah (evil variant of Tulpa, born from insane mind/fantasy)
Bukavac (six legs)
Shadhavar (carnivorous)
Sak (But with lotus on the end of its tail)
Horerczy (with beautiful colored butterflies coming from its mouth)

I would like to see giant caecilians with some species having poisonous secretions from their skin.
I am hoping that B6 has at least 3 kaiju.
How do you Shia LeBeouf isn't a cannibal in real life;)
Nanabolele might make an interesting dragon species. I haven't come across many African dragons, most of the dragon-like creatures known from the continent are really only marginally similar to the dragons of the rest of the world. Then again, Africa could be infested with dragons and I could be completely oblivious, Africa's monsters are frustratingly difficult to research.
Unique qualities from the legend:
It can transform into red smoke and does so to travel.
It is bioluminescent.
It hunts in packs, unlike most dragons, which are solitary.
It has a surprisingly weak bite (Not being able to break the skin of an elderly woman) and probably relies on other natural weapons like claws, horns, tail, etc.
A really cool folktale featuring the Nanabolele and a badass female dragon slayer.
It would be nice to see some non-solitary types of dragons.
Having just seen the (GREAT) recent Horror movie Clown, we really need a Clown Monster. with corresponding Clown Corruption rules

Ive seen that movie like two years ago. :-s It isnt really recent lol
Say... did we ever get a Jester creature, similar to the Gray Jester (Heroes of Horror)?
There's your clown monster there people ;)

Released stateside only this year, unless you are mixing it up with one of the dozen or so killer clown movies out there.
Was it about the suit that took possession of the man and turned him into this demon that ate kids? Two years ago.
Clowns, yes. Big rubber spiders in the artwork, no!
I would love some clown, jester, and mime based monsters.
Was it about the suit that took possession of the man and turned him into this demon that ate kids? Two years ago.
Yes...But again...had a delayed release stateside. Those of us who like to legally watch movies and didn't get to go to a festival only got to see it this year.
Would like to see some giant races that resemble Asians, Polynesians, Indians, and Africans.
Speaking of Polynesians, would like more creatures from Polynesian myth.
Some Easter island stone gods. They start moving when people worship them. The more they get worshiped, the more powerful they get. Digger had a wooden idol of Ganesh that offered her advice.
Probably. I have not seen them.
