Hey Everyone,
I notice that 2E's monsters no longer list expected treasure OR habitat in their stat block, and seemingly very few mention either of these in their flavor text even. Am I missing something? I realize that 2E has gone to a more narrative sorta game play but it would be nice to narrow creatures down a little based on where they typically are encountered. Also, I understand GM's are to hand pick treasure as appropriate but what types of treasure? a few mention in text that they hoard shiny trinket or some other specific things, but just a note of Standard, Incidental, None, Gems only excreta would be nice. Has anyone seen a place where these are listed or maybe heard a dev speak to this?
thanks,

Are you looking at the online resources or the actual bestiary? The latter has a lot of general guidance on what you're talking about, unless you're looking for more specifics.

at the moment I only have access to online resources, dont own the PDF yet.
Well in that case, I'd suggest getting the PDF or hardcopy, but failing that, try Archive of Nethys. It seems to include a lot of that same information at this point.
