Monster Filter?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Is there a way to search the monster listings in the Archives of Nethys PRD? Specifically, is there a way to filter for monsters with the reptilian subtype?

I can reach a massive list of (presumably) all monsters, but I can’t see how to search that list by subtype. Meanwhile, in the Search function, I can search for “reptilian,” but that just gets me every entry with “reptilian” in the text, whether or not the specific monster has the reptilian subtype. Searching for “reptilian subtype” just gets me the definition of the subtype, not the creatures it’s attached to.

Is there another way to search that I’m missing? I’ve also tried the Advanced Monster Search on the PFSRD, but I’m getting nothing but a big white rectangle in both Firefox and Safari.

Are these the only search options, or is there something more elegant that I'm missing?


The global bestiary indices search function has a subtype filter, but I can't get it to work. Not sure if it got screwed up in the move to legacy.aonprd.com or if I'm doing something wrong, so you might want to try playing with it.


Oh, but just using the browser search function for "reptilian" on https://aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?Letter=All looks like it works. I see no particularly elegant way to collate them.


I hadn't seen the bestiary indices before, thanks. Unfortunately I can't get it to work either, seems to be fried.

What a mess. I can check manually in the back of each Bestiary, but that doesn't get me creatures from all the other publications.


Since reptilian is a subtype only applied to humanoids I tried doing a search for "humanoid + reptilian." The results still have a few false positives, but are manageable.


Where did you do the searching? D20PFSRD, or AONPRD?


AONPRD, sorry, that is a sort of important bit of info.

Actually, there's also undead(reptilian) Hollow Serpent and outsider(reptilian) Najikai Oni. Maybe they shouldn't have it?


Interesting, I just believed the bit in the reptilian subtype that said it is humanoid only.

Dark Archive

from my google docs
downlaod either Bestiary or npc as excel
there is a subtype field, do a wildcard for reptilian
the PF.css file can be used with the full text field to give html with a pathfinder style
