Bestiary 2 Preview

deinol · Dec 6, 2010

Rumor has it some FLGS have a poster that lists all the monsters in the Bestiary 2. Why hasn't anyone posted this list here yet? I'm sure lots of people would be interested in seeing it.

The one thing I am really looking forward to in this Bestiary is that it looks like that all alignment based outsiders (as opposed to element based outsiders) will be greatly expanded upon. The LN, the N and the CN outsiders are the ones I am really looking forward to seeing.

According to James Jacobs there are 55 monsters of CR 13+ and 5 monsters of CR 21+.

I immediately noticed the Mu Spore and Winterwight in the list, and that comment makes me wonder whether the Neh-Thalggu in this book will be the "little" one that's supposed to be a juvenile collecting brains off-plane so it can return home, or the "adult" version first seen in the ELH. Worm That Walks was a template in 3.X ELH and d20 Cthulhu, so it's probably one here too- but that could also be CR 21+ if they use a high-level caster for the base creature. It's practically guaranteed to be 13+, since the old template gave a CR modifier of +6 (IIRC).

Also, they do seem to be bringing in a lot of the old Cthulhu monsters, don't they? Gug? Hound of Tindalos? Worm That Walks, sort of?

Also, that monster called the "Nightwave" is new- or at least new to me. Its placement suggests it's in with the other Nightshades (i.e. Nightwing, Nightwalker, Nightcrawler in ascending nastiness), though they could pull a fast one with the order in the book and group the Nightshades together under "Nightshade" and then have this new "Nightwave" be its own thing immediately after them. If it is a new Nightshade, though, I wonder whether they went up or down on the power relative to the other three? If they went up, that's another CR 21+ monster, almost certainly.

It is a Shark / Leviathan sort of creature. And it is CR20 or higher.

Wow! an Aquatic Nightshade?!? (probably...) The name makes perfect sense now! I definitely didn't see that coming. Thanks!

Anyway, Igor quote leaping irresistably to mind: "It must be MINE!!!"
