p. 109 Elder Wyrm
Special Ability:
Synchronized Strike (ex) An elder wyrm's two heads work in perfect concert when making attacks, snaking apart to strike targets from opposite directions. Once per round, the elder wyrm can perform two bite attacks as an attack action, such as when performing a charge or making an attack or opportunity. When an elder wyrm uses both bite attacks against a creature that is at least one size category smaller than it is, the elder wyrm s treated as if both heads were flanking the target for the purposes of resolving the attacks.
The rougarou list it's bite damage as a d6 in the creature's stats but the rules for it as a 0HD says it's bite damage is a d4.
P.20 Archdevil Belial
Missing a melee attack... since he's wielding a speed weapon.

Shouldn't it get a weapon attack with the scepter?

The entry refers to the Rawhead as being on page 242. The Rawhead is actually found on page 241.
Pg. 244, Ximtal Sakhil.
When transmitted via contact with another victim, the save DC to resist the disease decreases by 4, so that only a successful DC 27 Fortitude save is needed to resist contracting the sickness from an infected host or to avoid its ongoing ravages.
Forsaken Agony: Bite—injury; save Fort DC 29; onset immediate; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Wisdom drain plus sensory loss; cure 2 consecutive saves.
These are inconsistent. Either the penalty is only to decrease the DC by 2, or either the original or modified DC is wrong.

Is it including the despoil ability?

It shouldn't for either, and it would be especially wrong to apply it to the transmission, which obviously could happen more than 1,000 feet from the Ximtal. But yeah, maybe that's why the author did it wrong.

p. 54 Charnel God - Is the severance ability supposed to interfere with divine spell casting and supernatural abilities? The phrasing "must attempt a DC 35 Will save to avoid being cut off from the divine" suggests an effect like that, but the ability instead simply stuns and staggers them, which doesn't sound like "being cut off from the divine" to me. It certainly sounds like a secondary effect of BEING cut off from the divine, but nothing about this actually cuts them from any divine abilities as written.

p. 59 Clockwork Assassin - What exactly is sentinel mode? The skills section of the stat block mentions a +20 racial bonus to Perception in sentinel mode, but none of the special abilities mention a sentinel mode. The closest is a standby mode, but that actually imposes a -4 penalty to Perception.

p. 64 Conqueror Worm - shouldn't it have the grab special ability on its bite (and the associated bonus to CMB for grapple)? Without this, it can never actually swallow whole, since that ability only triggers when "a creature with this special attack beings its turn with an opponent grappled in its mouth (see Grab)."

Without this, it can never actually swallow whole, since that ability only triggers when "a creature with this special attack beings its turn with an opponent grappled in its mouth (see Grab)."
If this is true it also applies to several other monsters. I'm weak on grapple rules, but it certainly seems to be true that Swallow Whole is supposed to come with Grab on the bite, there's not provision I can see for transferring a normal grapple or claw Grab to the mouth through any kind of action.
Here are monsters in this book with Swallow Whole who do not have Grab on their bite attack:
Atuikakura
Conqueror Worm
Giant, Mountain (no bite attack or Grab at all!)
Horseman, Trelmarixian
Kaiju, Vorgozen (no bite attack at all)
The assumption of the developer seems to be that any sort of grab transfers to the mouth on the next turn as a free/no action if they have Swallow Whole, and as a free action on this turn if they have Fast Swallow. Compare Starfish, Giant:
Stomach (Ex) The giant starfish can invert its stomach to attack prey up to 20 feet away. The hook-lined opening to the starfish’s stomach is a primary attack that deals piercing damage. If a giant starfish successfully grapples a foe with its stomach, it gains the benefit of the fast swallow universal monster rule and can swallow the target immediately rather than waiting until the start of its next turn. It does not trigger a fast swallow effect if it grapples a foe with a slam attack.
The implication here and in the above block sis that a normal grapple, combined with Swallow Whole or Fast Swallow, allows it to trigger, but that's not reflected in the actual Swallow Whole rules, which don't explain how it ever gets into the mouth if something other than the mouth initiates the grapple via another appendage Grab or a regular grapple attempt.
Giant, Mountain (no bite attack or Grab at all!)
Mountain giant gains grab when it uses its impale ability.
Kaiju, Vorgozen
Has acid resistance and acid immunity listed, since acid immunity is it's only energy immunity then the acid resistance is incorrect.
p. 238 Qlippoth Lord, Thuskchoon
Nearly Mindless (Ex) Thuskchoon’s limited intellect and his
overwhelming hunger combine to make the creature nearly mindless in his actions. Unless he uses his intellectual flash ability or gains the benefit of false intellect, he cannot activate any spell-like abilities and his tactical choices in combat are those of a violent animal. While in his nearly mindless state, Thuskchoon gains a +8 bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects.
Thuskchoon always has immunity to mind-affecting effects, this is redundant unless you're worried about the rare demigod or artifact that can overcome such immunity.

p. 127 Fen Mauler - why does the trophy hunter ability allow them to select pounce as a special ability since they already have that. Alternatively, should pounce not be listed and is possibly an artifact from a stat block that did include trophy hunter abilities assigned?

p. 225 Qlippoth, Cataboligne
you included +20 natural for Touch AC when you shouldn't have
AC Value Touch : Computed: 11 Stat Block: 31
You may wish to reference the cataboligne's deflective carapace ability. As the saying goes: it's not a bug, it's a giant engine of Abyssal destruction feature.
In related news, I finally got my copies and everything looks amazing. ^_^

I am unsure, but I think the statted-up Fen Mauler is supposed to be using his trophy hunter ability to get pounce.

That's what I thought, but the text of the trophy hunter ability indicates it's not in the stat block.
