BEYOND THE VEIL

Creatures strange beyond imagining and more terrifying than any nightmare lurk in
the dark corners of the world and the weird realms beyond. Within this book,
you’ll find hundreds of monsters for use in the Pathfinder Roleplaying
Game. Face off against devils and dragons, deep ones and brain moles, robots
and gremlins, and myriad other menaces! Yet not every creature needs to be an
enemy, as whimsical liminal sprites, helpful moon dogs, and regal seilenoi all
stand ready to aid you on your quests—if you prove yourself worthy.

Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 5 is the fifth indispensable volume of monsters
for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and serves a companion
to the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook and Pathfinder RPG Bestiary. This
imaginative tabletop game builds upon more than 10 years of system
development and an Open Playtest featuring more than 50,000 gamers
to create a cutting-edge RPG experience that brings the all-time
best-selling set of fantasy rules into a new era.

Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 5 includes:

► More than 300 different monsters.
► New player-friendly races like caligni dark folk, deep one hybrids, plant-

bodied ghorans, and simian orang-pendaks.
► Psychic creatures both benevolent and terrifying, from the enigmatic

anunnaki and faceless astomoi to the howling caller in darkness and
insidious, alien grays.
► New familiars, animal companions, and other allies, such as
clockwork familiars, red pandas, and many-legged wollipeds.
► New templates to help you get more life out of classic monsters.
► Appendices to help you find the right monster, including
lists by Challenge Rating, monster type, and habitat.
► Expanded universal monster rules to simplify combat.
► Challenges for every adventure and every level of play.
► AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!
