I would still like to see gem dragons(diamond, emerald, pearl, ruby, and sapphire).

What would be the reason to not bring in the illithids, what with the Cthulhu threads and psionics? More Great Old Ones for that matter. I would like to see the carrion crawler for old time sake, as well as a revamping of the gibberlings from the Fiend Folio. Make 'em nasty with swarm stats and burrowing ability. The grell would be a welcome addition as well and since you have already resurrected the flumph and carbuncle, how about the babbler, the quaggoth and volt? How about spider-goblins and the giant ghost-tongue from Chinese Ghost Story?

Illithids, quaggoths, carrion crawlers and grells are all closed content, (c) WotC. Not sure about babblers and volts.

Babblers were in the Tome of Horrors and thus are available as open content. I believe Volts were as well, but I'd have to check that.

I'm pretty sure Gibberlings are not open content.


I remember babblers being in tome of horrors but I don't remember volts being in there.


Still plenty of Great Old Ones and Mythos-inspired beasts to add. Great Old Ones Abhoth, Chaugnar Faughn, Cyaegha, Tsathoggua to name a few, as well as Mythos servitors like the formless spawn, dark young, dimensional shamblers and star vampires. As far as dragons go, because you know there will be dragons, how about more serpentine knuckers and worms from legend similar to the Lambton Worm? Brown dragon?

Most of the remaining Mythos monsters are from other authors besides Lovecraft and aren't open content. However, some (like Tsathoggua, the Formless Spawn, the Dimensional Shamblers, the Dark Young, and the Star Vampires) have appeared in APs after a deal with Chaosium, but they can't be included in the OGL Bestiary hardcovers.

Knuckers and the Lambton Worm are totally feasible and would be great though.


What I really want to see regarding dragons is a new subtype of dragons. The Azi are among my greatest wishes for new dragons in a bestiary, but I would also like to see some kind of nearly humanoid dragons - or at least bipedal ones - like the many incarnations of Bahamut in the Final Fantasy franchise.

How about a fey variant for the Dullahan and Yuki-Onna?

dullahan is an undead fey.... and is in game already... unless you meant a living version of a fey on horseback defending the chaos of the land against law and orderves


Ahhhh O.C. rules are treacherous to navigate, Mythos from Lovecraft and Derleth in, from Bloch and Smith out. Some original MM and FF creatures open content, some not. That being the case, I would love to see the creatures from Lovecraft's "Lurking Fear" fleshed out in the bestiary. Lurkers? Small bestial cannibalistic humanoids that extend burrow warrens into inhabited areas and erupt from the ground in a swarm under the cover of darkness. A pox on their copyrighted gibberlings.

Some of you may be aware that coming out soon is a complete tome of Mythos creatures and some Pathfinder creatures that fit the feel of the Mythos for Pathfinder. Sandy Peterson, the creator of the Call of Cthulhu game, has worked with another writer to update and create a full pantheon as well as critters for PF. I can't wait for it to come out.


I would love to see vampires like the ones in the movie "Lifeforce".

Top three fiend lords of each untouched category I'd like to see, based on the Book of the Damned:

Asura Ranas: Gavidya, Rahu, Zurapadyn
Daemon Harbingers: Cixyron, Diceid, Laivatiniel
Infernal Dukes: Alocer, Eligos, Rasvocel
Kyton Demagogues: Inkariax, Fharaas, Kaikyton
Malebranche: Alichino, Draghignazzo, Rubicante
Nascent Demon Lords: Izyagna, Murnath, Ovonovo
Oni Daimyo: Akuma, Inma, Nataka
Rakshasa Immortals: Caera, Kunkarna, Ravana
Sakhil Tormentors: Hataam, Xiquiripat, Zipacna

Plus all four of the Queens of the Night. We have all eight Archdevils, so it's only fair that they get included.


Nothing on that list I would want to see anytime soon(if at all) besides I would prefer B7 demi-gods to focus on LN and CN outsiders and non-outsiders in general.


New monsters, 1 in each category, with made up names that sound right, but have no basis in legend or history.

Copyright them so Hasbro can't use them. Let Arkham House use them in new stories because they were always cool.

A dream dragon let loose in real New England would make a great horror story.


Goth Guru, why don't you want Hasbro to use them?


Why does Hasbro not let Pathfinder use mind flayers and beholders?
I'm answering a question with a question because I really do not know.

Because they let Paizo (and everybody) use so many iconic D&D monsters via OGL (Rust Monsters! Owlbears! Sahuagin! Driders! Tarrasque! Flumphs!) that the fact they kept a small bunch of stuff to themselves should be seen as something to thank them for, not a reason to call for petty revenge.

Personally I don't miss the Mindflayer at all though I do miss the Beholder:(


I would like to see a dragon pc race that's more focused on the strong ming and intelectual aspects of dragon. Like an ancient race of nearly humanoid dragons that have dedicated their life into studying magic.

I would also like to see a race that's linked to the environment/terrain in which they are born, developing different traits that match said environment.

Your best option in the near future might probably be the Starfinder dragonkin to be published in Alien Archive (Oct 18th).

I still hope to one day see Paizo's take on a cool dragon bastard human-like race, just like the celestials have the aasimars, the genie have the geniekin and even the hags have the changeling. ='(

I'm looking forward into seeing what will come out from Blood of the Coven.


Yeah Gold Sovereign, I have been waiting for such a race(also fey and giant versions) for a very long time.


creatures that prefer the flesh of of males
creatures that prefer the flesh of females

and really large cannibalistic cock roaches
more insectoid creatures


Frost salamanders hearkening back to the D&D basic set. Ophidians would work well as servitors of the Serpent folk. How about a template for creating serpent/animal hybrids like viper-headed eagles or bear-headed constrictors? Would make encounters with the serpent folk more interesting. Some type of template to make Mythos-inspired chaos spawn as well, to keep these encounters unique. Since we have almost every conceivable form of hag in there, how about the cave hag? And cave dragon while we're at it.


I would love to see frost salamanders, ophidians, and serpent related creature templates.


Like, chaotic chimera tables, where you roll for 1-4 heads, then roll for each head, one option being a snake head. Then you roll for number of limbs, each limb, 0-3 tails, and main body should have been first.

Silver Crusade

For a fun of it, I'd like to see Paizo stat out the Merlion. Its a chimera animal that's the 'mascot' of the country of Singapore.

Its got the top half of a lion, and the bottom half of a fish.

I'd like reinforcements for all the Outsider types that haven't had new members in a Bestiary since their first appearance: Rakshasa, Oni, Asuras, Divs, Inevitables, Kami, and Manasaputras (though they're still fairly new.)

Unrelated, the Green Knight from Arthurian lore might be a cool basis for a fey. Also Arthurian, the Glatisant or Questing Beast would be a badass Magical Beast or Dragon.

I'd also like to see some of the weirder Fearsome Critters get used, like the Tripodero, Dungavenhooter, Snoligoster, Side-Rock Bolter, Roperite, etc. They'd make interesting Aberrations. Perhaps the Axehandle Hound could be a really weird alien predator that's a hound in the same sense as a Hound of Tindalos is a hound?


I would also like more Oni, Azura, Rakshasa, Inevitables, Kami, and Manasaputras. But I am not big on Divs.

I would also like a Green Knight based fey and the Questing Beast.

I am not sure what those other creatures are.

Would also like something along the lines of the Hound of the Baskervilles, Bog Hound, Hound of Ill Omens, etc.


Official Pathfinder versions of the Wayfinder Devils would be awesome (aka Seduction Devil, Physician Devil, Addiction Devil, Rumor Devil, Hellforge Devil, Crusader Devil, Hunter Devil).

More Gigas (Maelstrom Gigas, Nirvana Gigas, Axis Gigas, Boneyard Gigas, and Elysium Gigas)

More high CR Celestials that are based off of D&D Celestials but look and function different and thus can be used by Paizo (Sword Archon, Throne Archon, Loxonal, Stellar Deva).

More of the lesser known fiends (Asura, Demodand, Div, Kyton, Oni, Qlippoth, Rakshasa, Sahkil)

More Aeons, Proteans, Psychopomps, and Inevitables.

More of the following: Asura Ranas, Eldest, Empyreal Lords, Kyton Demagogues, Manasaputra Kumaras, Oni Daimyo, Protean Lords, Psychopomp Ushers, Qlippoth Lords, Rakshasa Immortals, Sahkil Tormentors, and Queens of the Night


You can't really have "more Gigas" since we haven't had a single one in a hardcover bestiary but I agree that we really do need to see them in such books;)


I hope that they finally give 0HD races two pages instead of one and extra pages for true dragons for information about them.

It was 11:30 PM and I had two Bahama mamas when I wrote that. I think I'm entitled to a few mistakes. :P

Dragon78 wrote:

Yup, it would be great. I'd love to see an Elysian Titan or a Elysium Gigas in a mythic adventure path as well as an ally to adventurers. ^_^


I like the Gigas quite a bit because they're giants but they're really weird looking, subverting the fact that most giants simply look like enormous humans with odd skin colors. For a similar reason I was quite fond of the Vault Giant from a recent AP, and I'd like to see that one end up in a bestiary.


A medium elf-like fey, an insect monstrous humanoid, and a bastard dragon, - all 0HD races - as I have been saying for a long time now, are my foremost wishes.

I'm also voting for more inevitables, more linnorms, more tanes, and the gigas (all tree of them).

If there are going to be deities in it, I still hope that the Elemental Lords and the Eldest are the choices for this one.

I would also like that the next bestiary was thematically centered on the planes.

Hell gigas are almost skeletal looking men, while abbadon gigas are pig-like monsters. Those from Boneyard are reaper-like gaunt men with long arms and the ones from the abbys look like giantic goblinoids. If there's a colorful gigas however, I would certainly say the Nirvana gigas is the one.

The gigas are powerful humanoids, supposed to be the progenitors of the mortal giants, and there are so many of them. I really hope to see at least the three already stated ones in a bestiary - and the seventh is a good choice.

I'm also curious to know from which gigas variety is the one on the cover of the article about them in Giantslayer AP.


I would really like to see the gigas from the positive energy plane, axis, and the maelstrom.

I would love to see a 0HD faerie race that actually has insect wings(your choice of butterfly, moth, or dragonfly).

I would love to see 0HD races that are the aasimar/tiefling/dhampir version of dragon, fey, and giant.

If there will be more demi-gods then I would like to see the eldest, elemental lords, protean lords, and a lot more non-outsider demi-gods.


It is a shame they can't use the water weird, I would love to see that one along with aether, air, earth, and fire versions. Also wood and void versions if we ever get elementals for those elements.


Hydropus: A water animental that often lurks in wells. They try to grab passer bys and drown them.

Isn't there an angelic Giga with four faces on one head?


I looked at the descriptions of the Heaven, Nirvana, and Elysium Gigas and none of them are described as having multiple faces.


In Ezekiel 1:5-11 they are described as having the likeness of a man, and having four faces: that of a man, a lion (on the right side), and ox (on the left side), and an eagle.

They don't sound like anything that we'd normally think of as 'angels'! .... cute little angel! These are powerful heavenly beings with four faces and four wings.

Here's the search.

This is a cherubim, not a Gigas. Gigas are the children of the titans, at least in pathfinder.

Yup, Gold Sovereign is right. That's a Cherubim as seen from the visions of the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel and how I wish Paizo had given us a four-aspected angel with occult-based powers like that but instead we got a CR 3 tiny statue angel (grumbles).

As for the Bestiary VII, I hope we get more angels that are both awe-inspiring and fearsome:

Ishim: Humanoid-like angels of the 3rd angelic choir that have powers over fire and ice and act as heaven's elite shock troops.

Hashmal: Lion-headed angels of the 2nd angelic choir that act as judges for wrongdoing in heaven and wardens of wicked beings in celestial prisons.

Seraph: Righteous crusading angels of the 1st choir who possess the power to smite and sicken foes (even devils) with their angelfire as well as to heal good-aligned allies with it.


Would also like to see angels like that and some more actual female angels since almost(if not all) everyone one in the hardcover bestiaries are male in form.

I KNOW RIGHT? Although I think I recall reading that most celestials are naturally androgynous and don't really have a gender unless they specifically want to. I could be wrong though.


That is correct for angels but I don't remember it saying that for all celestials.


Would love some more fey and first world templates. Also creature templates like celestial/fiendish and half-celestial/fiendish for other planes that do not have such templates.


Maybe we'll finally get some of the Eldest stated. :D

I also don't know how many more of the Tane there are left to be stated.


I know the following three Eldest were mentioned that have yet to be fully fleshed out (mostly because according to lore they've vanished from most of the First World):

Apholine, the Flame
Enchar, the Sign
Oleron, the Cancer

I would also love some more of the Tane. I think we still have the following Tane that have yet to be stated:

Bonefather
Great Ulas, the Mountain That Walks
Hachan Ke, the Glory in the Blood
Kyrn, the Legion
Leviathan
Mohaba, the Moon Worm


It has been a long time since we got any new Tane.
