Squirrelshades, I posted a pit fiend // balor combination a bit earlier, but I called it by a different name - just a personal preference. Whatever you'd like to call it, enjoy.
And I'm looking forward to the hell raptors as well. In the meantime, I think this next combination is one of the most flavorful creature concepts I've seen in a while.
** spoiler omitted **...
Ah I missed that, because it wasn't called Pitlor. Good job though, I like it!
Combining a chuspiki with a ratfolk was tricky, because ratfolk don't have any racial HD. I ended up just using a sample level 3 ratfolk gunslinger from the monster codex and applying the template as well as I could, but it worked weirdly with one half being a creature with class levels.

I also made a combination of a beholder and a mind flayer as Threeshades suggested, even though they're not Pathfinder creatures (using the Eberron Pathfinder conversions). I'm not very familiar with their mechanics, so I have no idea if the conversions were accurate or balanced in the first place, but I did my best to combine them in a reasonable way.

Best of Dragon Annual 1 (IIRC) had an article on this idea, and opined that it was best for gameplay / balance to have one half of the hybrid creature be a humanoid or normal animal, because one of their playtest hybrids was a beholder / vampire, and that turned out to be too much. :)
Beholder / hydra was a thing, IIRC, on that note. Mind Flayer / cloud giant might be a fun 'little Cthulhu' option.
Does PF have an aspidechelone/island turtle? 'Cause combining one of those with a dragon turtle could be scary. Or a phoenix with a roc. But really, both of those (and mind flayer / cloud giant) are just 'making stuff bigger.'
I don't even mind that this combination weakens a few of the coatl's spell-like abilities: it has a huge size, a sixty foot flight speed, pounce, and twelve bite attacks, each with grab, constrict, and poison.

In addition to applying the amalgam template, I switched around this creature's subtype and alignment to make it better match its name. Not sure how well that worked out, but here it is.

I guess you could make the gorgon's petrifying breath weapon a poison, but it's already described as a gas that it breathes out, so calling it a poison would change little except making more creatures immune to it. You could simply combine the two breath weapon effects into one, so that they are activated with a single action and require the same turn delay. Or you could give it the normal Con damage poison of the catoblepas, but have it petrify at 0 Con instead of killing. I just went with the most straightforward combination, giving it both breath weapon options that it can choose between on any given turn.
