Pathfinder 1E "Classic Psionic Monsters Revisited"?

[VelvetViolet]

I missed the Ultimate Psionics kickstarter when it came out and only recently learned that one of the exclusive rewards was a 32-page "Classic Psionic Monsters Revisited" bestiary module that included sanitized substitutes for WotC-owned monsters like the yuan-ti, thri-kreen, displacer beast, mind flayer and so on. Only like 80 or so people got copies and DSP is never making it available elsewhere. This is a real bummer for me because I have spent a couple years looking for substitutes to closed content monsters with variable success and the knowledge that this resource is forever closed to everyone outside of a tiny exclusive club is... disheartening. I know it would be incredibly unfair to those 80 people who spent $200 a pop, but I wish DSP would release the monsters publicly some day.

The Iconic Bestiary for 3.5 has seven replacements.

Serpentfolk are decent replacements for Yuan Ti. I think Nyambe from Atlas Games for 3.0 also had an ancient race of giant magical snake person things that would be decent for the abomination types of Yuan Ti.

Lethal Lexicon 1 by Octavirite Press has an Azure Hulk, Bee Holder, and Black Mamba, decent 3.5 versions of the Umber hulk, gas spore, and yuan ti.

Fiery Dragon had a web page with awesome chaos replacement for the Slaad.

Lots of variants of Mind Flayers of various aspects, like the Phrenic scourge in the Iconic Bestiary, Parietophages, and others.

Don't I know it. I've spent months writing a list. The ones I was never able to find satisfactory replacements for were the Gith and the Thri-kreen... which, AFAIK, had substitutes included in the CPMR book. But, for whatever reason, DSP decided to make CPMR a limited issue collectible rather than the spiritual sequel to Iconic Bestiary: Classics of Fantasy. I am quite peeved to find myself three years late at the only chance to get a copy... and that's assuming the text was open game content in the first place despite the explicit effort to avoid copyright infringement.

Creature Collection Revised has decent OGL 3.5 stats for a mechanics stand in thri-kreen. Spider Eye Goblins have four arms that end in claws that can wield weapons plus a venomous bite that does dex damage. They are small however, with no psionics and the flavor is forest goblin instead of desert bug man.
