Our featured entry from this bestiary is the gooplet.

In places where stray magic soaks into soil and odd fungi glow, strange things form. Glooplet was born in such a spot, a bit of enchanted slime that split from a larger ooze and slowly became its own thing. Unlike its source, Glooplet only wants to see, taste, and bounce through the world.

It slides along the edges of the Fey Realm, sneaking into potion shops, libraries, and kitchens, absorbing anything curious or shiny. Some fey call it a spell's echo, others say it's a fragment of something larger that gained a will of its own. Glooplet doesn't care. It just wants to explore.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is the sporemite crawler.

Sporemite Crawlers are bioluminescent constructs commonly found in crystal-rich cave systems, though their origin remains unknown. Despite their mechanical nature, they behave much like living creatures, often gathering near mineral veins and nibbling on exposed gemstones.

Miners often refer to them as "crystal bugs" and approach them with care, as Sporemite Crawlers instinctively release sleep-inducing spores when startled. Though not aggressive by nature, they react swiftly to anyone interfering with their chosen crystals.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is the ignarix.

Born from the infernal fires of the Lower Planes, the Ignarix is a creature woven from pure hellfire and magic. Its form is shaped by destructive flames, cloaked in smoldering fur and a burning presence. Though small, it is a deadly fiend, feared by those who deal in dark magic, infernal pacts, and forbidden rites. Its eyes burn with Hell's eternal flame, capable of consuming both body and soul, a testament to its fiendish origin.

Ignarix hides its true malevolent nature behind a playful facade. While it may appear lighthearted at times, beneath the surface lies a nature driven by evil and destruction. It delights in tormenting enemies with fire, toying with them before delivering its deadly bite. Its loyalty is rooted in the infernal pact, not affection. It is fiercely protective of its bonded partner, but only to further its twisted whims. Cunning, ruthless, and merciless, the Ignarix watches from the shadows, ever calculating and cold.

description: This bestiary contains descriptions of over one hundred monsters. It is compatible with the 5^th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons Role Playing Game.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is the mettling.

The Mettling was never meant to be. In the back room of a once-popular village bakery, a reclusive necromancer perfected his culinary crimes. To the public, he was just an eccentric baker known for "experimental meat buns," but in truth, he infused magic into monstrous amalgamations of food and flesh. The Mettling was one such creation - a twisted helper made from ground meat, bone fragments, sliced onions, garlic and enchanted bread. A bun tops its head, and its eyes and fingernails are glistening onion slices accompanied by a fine set of twisted garlic teeth. It speaks in garbled growls and often weeps grease when angry.

Originally meant to knead dough and guard the rear of the shop, the Mettling developed an aggressive hunger for raw flesh and independence. Before the necromancer mysteriously vanished (or was eaten), he meticulously wrote down the summoning ritual and the precise ingredients necessary to bring the Mettling to life. The recipe has been copied by other necromancers, and as a result, these bizarre creatures have occasionally appeared in other locations, though often tied to similar necromantic experiments.

description: This bestiary contains descriptions of 108 undead monsters (ostensibly undead as lycanthropes and other canonically not undead creatures are included). It is compatible with the 5^th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons Role Playing Game.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is a variety of grave titan, the pallbearer.

Pallbearers are undead monstrosities, similar in nature to ghouls, but grotesquely stronger and more relentless. Twisted by hunger and necrotic energy, these creatures prowl graveyards at night, exhuming coffins and dragging them to their lairs - crypts, abandoned mausoleums, or hollowed-out tombs. There, they pry open the caskets with inhuman strength and feast upon the decaying remains. When their hunger is sated, they crawl inside the empty coffins to rest like the dead - until the hunger calls again.

Tales tell of fools who disturbed ancient burial sites, only to find the dead walking again, carrying their own graves as trophies. Some believe Pallbearers are not just scavengers, but cursed souls, condemned to forever carry the dead as punishment for desecrating graves in life.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is the seer.

The Seer is a nocturnal predator that lurks in deep caverns, emerging only to hunt. It is a grotesque creature resembling a massive, fleshy eyeball, standing on writhing, sinewy tentacles. These tentacles allow it to slither silently through caves and over rocky terrain. The Seer does not kill its prey immediately - it waits until they sleep, then coils its tentacles around them, choking them into unconsciousness before feeding through small, sucker-like openings along its limbs. The hypnotic gaze of a Seer is its primary defense, causing victims to fall into an unnatural trance, unable to resist as it closes in for the kill.

publisher: Paizo Publishing
publication date: 2008
cover: softcover
number of pages: 64

catalog number: PZO9202
description: This bestiary contains descriptions of the 20 core deities of Golarion as well as briefer descriptions of dozens of lesser known deities. This book is compatible with the 1^st edition of the Pathfinder Role Playing Game.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is the Pallid Princess, Urgathoa.

Some claim that Urgathoa was a mortal once, but when she died, her thirst for life turned her into the Great Beyond's first undead creature. She fled from Pharasma's endless line of souls and back to Golarion, bringing disease with her to the world. She appears as a beautiful, raven-haired woman from the waist up, but below that her form begins to rot and wither, until only blood-covered bones remain at her feet.

Urgathoa is amoral and utterly lacks ethics, as she was willing to throw off the natural order to suit her own desires despite the consequences to others. A hedonist in life, her undead state and startling lack of flesh means she can sense less now than she could as a mortal, so she makes up for it in excess and depravity...Life (and unlife) are far more interesting and intense than the dull existence of a dead soul, so it is of utmost importance to cram as much sensation into your existence as possible; ascetics, particularly those who follow the Prophecies of Kalistrade, are repugnant to her.

When Urgathoa is pleased, common food tastes like a delicious meal, water tastes like fine wine, and a meal is never so filling that the eater feels uncomfortable. The Pallid Princess sometimes rewards female clerics who serve her particularly well by transforming them after death into hideous undead creatures called the daughters ofUrgathoa. When she is angry, she makes food and water taste like ash, fills the belly with gnawing hunger, or inflicts rotting or swelling diseases that make it difficult to eat. She has been known to render legs insensate or paralyzed so the victim must crawl, or reverse the taste of food so that garbage and sewage are the only things the offender can manage to swallow.

Our featured entry from this bestiary is Grandmother Spider, Nana Anadi.

Also known as Nana Anadi, Grandmother Spider began her life as a divine servant. She antagonized many other gods when the world was young, nipping at heels, stealing ambrosia, and making deities look like fools: she stole and copied Asmodeus's keys, leading to chaos, and swiped a portion of Sarenrae's fire to lead travelers astray. Eventually, she wove her own freedom and left behind divine control. Time tempered her antics; by the time she reached the Material Plane, she saw more value in teaching lessons and evening the odds than in spreading confusion.

Grandmother Spider delights in games, schemes, and misfortunes that upset expectations, insisting life is not a dance to be rehearsed, but a spiraling tumble down a hill, trying desperately to right oneself before hitting the bottom—thrilling, messy, and dangerous. The Weaver embraces this philosophy fully, sometimes taking advantage of others and sometimes being tricked herself, considering her failures to be just as important as her successes. She encourages pranks to teach valuable life lessons and loves laying the mighty low, though cruelty and predation draw her outrage.

Because life is so dangerous, Grandmother Spider is also a goddess of family, encouraging faith in friends and community. She is a protector of the downtrodden, and she is credited with guiding her children, the anadi and all spiders, out of darkness and into freedom.

In her human guise, Grandmother Spider is depicted as an old, dark-skinned woman wearing a bright duku and colorful clothing. In her spider form, she is depicted as a huge brown spider with black patterns and large eyes. Grandmother Spider's holy symbol is a diamond made of eight interwoven threads. Signals of her approval include the sound oflaughter, the smell of a hearth fire, and a spider spinning a perfect dew-covered web outside of a window. Signs of her displeasure include objects vanishing and becoming impossible to find, cloth snagging on branches or fingernails, and obnoxious but invisible cobwebs sticking to the skin.
