Finally, even if you say that "the monsters will remain in Golarion"... but for how long? How long until you must remove them completely and possibly discontinue previous book sales due to that? What about the 1st edition books, which we bought as PDF on your website?
Forever? They're not going to retcon things away from stories they've already told. Anything published under the original OGL is protected by the original OGL, period. The problem is if Hasbro tries to change the OGL again, those things may not be protected for future products. The old stories will remain, the new just won't have anything that they can't publish under the ORC.

A dire period is also called a comma--a period holding a knife under the table.OT: Isn't that actually a semi-colon? :P
That's a dire colon, silly.
Catoblepas? I heard dire colon and those things smell awful!

I mean, there's a fundamental difference between Choral the Conqueror is a Dragon who is red and breathes fire, and "Choral the Conqueror is a Red Dragon." A dragon needs to be some color (and indeed several different kinds of dragons will be any given color- diabolical dragons are probably largely red) and "dragon breathes fire" is like the basic thing people know about Dragons besides "big winged lizard."
But Dragons should probably be rare enough that it's not a bad idea to stat each of them out as individuals.
I'd love unique dragons. Now that would set Pathfinder's dragons apart. Doesn't seem like we're getting them, though.

I think if they did a Dragon-specific book like "Book of the Dead" that would be a great place to include a "how to build a specific dragon NPC" section.

Paizo's made a point of letting WotC develop the more intensely dragon-themed material. It's a mix of professional courtesy and dragons having long been D&D's shtick. Pathfinder...found its own path. :-)

I'll miss the name Gripplis, believe it or not.C'mon folks, this comment deserves all of the favorites.
It's nice to be recognized.
Will manticores and sphinxes be changed? Hell Hounds?Changed? Maybe. Removed? I doubt it. All three come from mythology.
Would the names of particular sphinx types be considered copyrighted material?
Were manticores winged lions with human faces that had spikey tails?

The wings might need to go, but the rest of it is historical record.

I think the latter is actually a pretty common mythological reading, but I could be wrong.
