I have the Midgard Bestiary for Pathfinder 1E, but I'm wondering if anyone here who's familiar with the Midgard setting could comment on which of the Paizo bestiaries best compliments and expands it?
I'm looking to run a campaign beginning in Midgard's central city of Zobeck. I plan on using some of what's in the Zobeck Gazetteer and the Streets of Zobeck and Tales of the Old Margreve campaign books. So there'll be a lot of campaigning in the Crossroads region. If the campaign runs long enough though, they'll also be opportunities for the player to adventure into the Rothenian Plane, Wasted West and the Duchy of Dornig/Domains of the Princes.
I think I use no.2&5 mostly, they have most magical beasts and fey, iirc, but I use either d20pfsrd or archives of nethys so I'm not sure 100%. I also use Monsters of Porphyra 1-3, Freeport Bestiary and Tome of Horrors 4, and also check Kobolds' Tome of Beasts for 5e and try to find PF equivalents. Forgot Mythic Monster compilations by Legendary games, too.

Many thanks for the reply. Yes I'd noticed Paizo's Bestiary 2 looked to have monsters that suited the Midgard setting. There's also references to some of its monsters in Kobolb Presses' Streets of Zobeck Gazetteer. I do own the Bestiary 5 PDF, but haven't spent much time with it, so I'll give it a better read.
Something I should have probably mentioned, is that I'll be hosting 2 of my players via the Fantasy Grounds Virtual Tabletop software app. So any other bestiaries I buy will need to also be purchasable as digital, downloadable content for that VTT. All the Paizo bestiaries are available and I've noticed that Tome of Horrors and the Mythic Monster complicatios are available too. the Monsters of Prophyra series and Freeport bestiary aren't though.
I do own Kobold Presses' Tome of Beast and Creature Codex for 5e in both print and PDF, but I'm afraid I'm just not savvy enough with PF1E monsters to convert them.
Is there an online web or downloadable app that can help with that conversion?

Not that I know. I asked on facebook group and discord for equivalency tables between 5e and PF1 but nobody has done the footwork. I usually take the 5e adventure from kobold, look up the creature in Tomes or Creature Codex, and then try to find the PF1 version on d20pfsrd. There are some of them because Tomes have been padded with PF1 creatures converted to 5e. Don't know if any of this helps you since you use Fantasy Grounds..
