I can't seem to find any rules for making non-fist attacks, whether you're a monk or not. What are the stats of say, a headbutt, kick, or bite when attempted by a humanoid?

Here's what it says about Unarmed Attacks on page 278: "Table 6–6: Unarmed Attacks lists the statistics for an unarmed attack with a fist, though you’ll usually use the same statistics for attacks made with any other parts of your body. Certain ancestry feats, class features, and spells give access to special, more powerful unarmed attacks. Details for those unarmed attacks are provided in the abilities that grant them."
So basically, unless something says otherwise, a kick, headbutt, or an elbow are all treated as a Fist. Things that can make them act otherwise are e.g. Dragon Stance which lets you make especially powerful kicks, or the claws of an iruxi (which deal 1d4 slashing damage instead of 1d4 bludgeoning damage, and feats can improve that further).

Ah, so basically, they wrote "fist" because it takes fewer letters than "Unarmed Strike"? I can live with that. Heh, re-flavour your fist as your foot, and kick 'em!

For what are the feet, but the fists of the legs? These are the beginnings of wisdom. To learn that all of creation is but one universal fist, that is the beginning of enlightenment.

And beard is the fist of the face.

I imagine that a kick or headbutt isn't different enough to a punch to warrant a different die size or different traits.
