Favorites are a matter of taste, of course, but mine included the zelekhut, aolaz (see below), trumpet archon, veranallia, hezrou, gylou, brine dragon, crystal dragon, icicle snake, grippli, lerritan, lunar naga, sylph, augnagar, skirk nettle, totenmaske, vaspercham, and ostiarius. It’s nothing new for Paizo, but I still really love how great the art is, and how you get pictures for almost every single thing (this only doesn’t happen when there’s more than one stat block per page, so no badger to go with the badger, giant … also, that giant badger is pretty vicious-looking). There’s a great index in the back that runs through every stat block by level, and a ‘table of contents’ in the front that runs through all of the stat blocks alphabetically (which, so far as I can tell, makes it more of an ‘index in the front’ than a table of contents). But even if it doesn’t rise to the level of “must have,” Bestiary 2 is certainly on the “you’ll really, really want this” level.īestiary 2 follows the same formatting as the Bestiary, so you’ll get the well-organized stat blocks, excellent art, and sidebar tidbits that you saw in the original (and if you don’t have the original, go buy that one first). Paizo has always been able to come up with cool foes to populate another Bestiary, but here in Pathfinder 2E we’re still at Bestiary 2 (which is slated to release in late May) and I’m still able to find a lot of entries that make me go “oh, yeah, definitely need to have that available.” I can’t say technically that Bestiary 2 is a necessity for a GM, because the original Bestiary isn’t exactly lacking in options. One of the cool things about a second edition is that ‘everything is new again’ feeling.
