History Characters / PathfinderUniqueCreatures

* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' ([[CharacterizationMarchesOn and in the original]] ''[[CharacterizationMarchesOn Pathfinder Bestiary]]''), the Tarrasque was a NonMaliciousMonster that was only barely sentient and only rampaged out of instinct. On Golarion, it is ChaoticEvil rather than TrueNeutral and is the favored child of an OmnicidalManiac EldritchAbomination.%%In-universe

* PublicDomainCharacter: The creature derives from a medieval French legend. It was adapted into ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' early on and gained a reputation as the game's most deadly (non-epic) monster.

[[folder:The Great Flood]]
->'''Level:''' 20
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* AffablyEvil: The Great Flood has the capacity for mercy and consideration, and one or two of the heads might feel a twinge of guilt and tell a small joke to townsfolk to relieving themselves of the mental pressure before massacring them.
* BeastWithAHumanFace: The Great Flood has a giant serpent body and nine humanoid heads.
* TheGreatFlood: Each time the Great Flood awakens, if the heads reach a consensus, it will drown miles of land in saline water.
* MultipleHeadCase: Each of the Great Flood's nine heads has a different personality: perfectionist, aloof, assertive, playful, capricious, suspicious, ambitious, people pleaser and secretive. Despite their squabbling, they eventually always make a compromise.
* PoisonousPerson: When they perceive the excess life as particularly problematic, the Great Flood can poison the waters with their bitter breath to ensure that nothing survives.
* YouWillBeSpared: The Great Flood, despite its inherently destructive nature, will often afford an opportunity for poor townsfolk to state their case and beg for the lives of their town to be saved.

[[folder:Grogrisant]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grogrisant.png]]
->'''Level:''' 16
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral
->'''Size:''' Huge
A legendary beast that resembles a six-eyed lion, the grogrisant has appeared several times throughout Taldor's history and has always been slain by a hero of the people.

* BodyBackupDrive: According to research published by the Imperial College of Heralds, when the grogrisant is killed, primal magical energy arising from the land of Taldor immediately begins to coalesce around a lion, transforming it into the grogrisant after a century or more.
* ExtraEyes: It has six eyes arranged in a fan shape across its upper face.
* FieryLion: Its mane blazes like the sun -- so brightly, in fact, that it blinds those who look at it -- and it can wreathe itself in flame at will.
* GiantAnimalWorship: In the centuries before Taldor's foundation, the grogrisant was worshipped as a god by the people in the Tandak Plains before First Emperor Taldaris killed it.
* LightEmUp: Its mane blazes with blinding light, and it can cast ''sunbeam'' at will.
* MegaNeko: It stands eighteen feet at the shoulder, considerably taller than the largest recorded elephants in real life.
* MonsterProgenitor: It's believed to be the forefather of grisantian lions, a particularly large and fierce breed of lions found in the Taldan grasslands.

[[folder:Juggerloathe]]
->'''Level:''' 16
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan
The offspring of Lamashtu's herald and a bulette, this titanic creature is a living legend.

* AbstractEater: Physical matter is actually completely unharmed by its stomach. Instead it feeds on life energy, which is separate from souls in case you were wondering.
* HybridMonster: The Juggerloathe is the offspring of the Yethazmari, Lamashtu's herald, and a massive bulette.
* InASingleBound: It can leap long distances, landing hard enough to knock down anything around it.
* MookMaker: Those it swallows become bodaks with its stomach as it leeches the life from their bodies, regardless of what the creature originally was. Mechanically they function just like any bodak but they're noted to look bestial and warped even beyond typical bodaks.
* SuperSpit: It can disgorge the contents of its stomach, spewing both acid and any victims or undead it currently holds within it.

[[folder:Leviathan]]
->'''Level:''' 30
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Leviathan ignores all forms of damage reduction when it attacks a foe with its natural weapons.
* BeastOfTheApocalypse: Over the eons, Leviathan has visited countless Material Plane worlds. Although often little remains physically, tales of Leviathan's visits have a way of enduring in a society's oral history. As a result, many otherwise unconnected worlds share curiously similar mythologies of ancient cities or civilisations being destroyed by the legendary creature.
* ExtraEyes: Leviathan glares with a hundred red eyes.
* EyeBeams: Leviathan can fire prismatic beams of rippling light from its hundred eyes.
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: Leviathan is a whale-like beast capable of 'swimming' in the air.
* {{Kaiju}}: Leviathan is an immense beast, measuring nearly 150 feet long, that leaves entire nations destroyed in its wake.
* MonsterWhale: This whale-like beast is the most powerful of the Tane, a group of destructive servitors of the Eldest, capable of destroying whole nations if aroused from its slumber.

[[folder:Tehialai]]
->'''Level:''' 13

->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

!Fungi
[[folder:Melfesh Monster]]
->'''Level:''' 6
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

* AnimateBodyParts: The Melfesh Monster is the mobile fruiting body of a fungal superorganism.
* FromASingleCell: Unless every inch of the fungal superorganism is completely eradicated, it is likely to regrow over the span of decades or centuries. Even if fully destroyed, it might still regrow elsewhere where its spores have landed or from the body of an animal infested with its spores and growths.
* FungusHumongous: The true Melfesh Monster is an ancient, enormous fungal superorganism that sprawls underneath the entire forest in which the monster legendarily dwells.
* LoadBearingBoss: The true Melfesh Monster has created a support structure made up of its hundreds of feet of growth, the only thing that prevents the forest above from collapsing into its cavern.
* ThePigPen: The stench of acrid, burning dung accompanies the Melfesh Monster.

!Fey
[[folder:Baba Yaga's Riders]]
->'''Level:''' 11 (White), 12 (Red), 13 (Black)
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulNeutral
->'''Size:''' Medium

[[folder:Taljjae]]
->'''Level:''' 18
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral

* ConfusionFu: Each of Taljjae's masks brings out a different personality, changing both the movement of its steps and the way it acts. This rapid shift can be incredibly jarring to those expecting a straightforward fight, making Taljjae a formidable foe, though one who has studied its various moods can more readily anticipate its movements.
* MaskOfPower: Taljjae's masks confer superhuman ability to those who wear them.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Those that have succeeded in killing Taljjae find that it seemingly returns as quickly as it was dispatched.

!Dragons

[[folder:Fafnheir]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fafnheir.png]]
->'''Level:''' 24
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

The oldest and most powerful linnorm on Golarion.

* BlowYouAway: He can generate tornado force winds.
* DyingCurse: An especially nasty one that makes the killer into the vessel for Fafnheir's resurrection.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Slaying Fafnheir is the last test that an Ulfen warrior would have to pass in order to unite the Linnorm Kingdoms. Given that Fafnheir's level is 24, and therefore more powerful than almost any true dragon alive, it's not likely to happen anytime soon, ''especially'' given his ResurrectiveImmortality.
* TheDreaded: Not only among the humans of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, but among his fellow linnorms, and most true dragons as well.
* FamedInStory: Fafnheir is the most infamous linnorm in-universe, with power that rivals that of all but the greatest true dragons.
* GeniusBruiser: Fafnheir is well-versed in many fields and can work a wide variety of magic through wishcrafting.
* HeroKiller: Fafnheir has seen many challengers over the years. Few have lived to talk about it. Thanks to the way his Death Curse works, those who have often can't talk about it very long, as he uses them as a vessel for his rebirth. This is a fatal process (his new body appears inside his would-be killer and makes said killer the first victim of that body's breath weapon) unless if the killer manages to avoid being cursed or if the curse is dispelled before Fafnheir can resurrect himself.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Fafnheir believes that he'll eventually be king of all Ulfen after some naive champion kills him, succumbs to his dying curse, and fuels Fafnheir's resurrection. However, Fafnheir shows no interest in actually becoming ruler of anything and seems content to slumber in his cave, emerging periodically to slake his hunger and remind the wider world of his existence.
* PlayingWithFire: Fafnheir's breath weapon is a cataclysmic firestorm laced with lightning and hurricane-strength winds.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Fafnheir's killer becomes home to his evil and undying soul, which, over the course of three days, slowly consumes their body until Fafnheir is resurrected.
* ShockAndAwe: Fafnheir's breath weapon is a cataclysmic firestorm laced with lightning and hurricane-strength winds.
* TimeAbyss: Fafnheir has been a witness to Golarion's history since the time when the alghollthus and serpentfolk ruled the world. He has seen thousands of years pass him by and expects to see thousands more.
* WickedCultured: Fafnheir, unlike most linnorms, is very intelligent, and will share his wisdom and philosophical outlook with those who ask.

!Aberrations

[[folder:Bee-Man of Bellis]]
->'''Level:''' 9
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil

* DealWithTheDevil: The Bee-Man often appears to those who seek his aid, although he seldom if ever grants it without exacting some terrible price in return.
* SpeakOfTheDevil: Whenever the Bee-Man's real name is spoken aloud within 13 miles, he hears it and immediately knows the speaker's direction and distance from him. It is said that the Bee-Man still haunts the woods outside Bellis, waiting for someone to call him.
* WasOnceAMan: Driven mad by a desire to internalise bees' powers of divination, Vernon Vestha transformed himself into a swarm of bees.
* TheWormThatWalks: The Bee-Man of Bellis is a hive mind controlling a human-shaped swarm of bees.

[[folder:Desert's Howl]]
->'''Level:''' 19
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Huge

The most infamous of the monsters within Thuvia's sands, which is seemingly connected to the desert's curse.

* HornedHumanoid: Desert's Howl is shaped vaguely like a bearded man with long ibex horns.
* MultipleChoicePast: It's unknown where exactly Desert's Howl comes from. The most popular origin is that it WasOnceAMan, but it's also speculated it may be the spawn of [[MotherOfAThousandYoung Lamashtu]]. As Desert's Howl is an aberration that has power over nightmares, and Lamashtu is the goddess of both of those things, it wouldn't be surprising.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: In First Edition, Desert's Howl was a desert {{Wendigo}}, and it was named Aridus. Additionally, the WasOnceAMan origin was the official one. The Second Edition version is [[TheSpook an entirely unique, nameless aberration of unknown origins.]]
* SupernaturalFearInducer: Desert's Howl exudes a massive psychic disturbance many miles away from its location, assaulting the minds and spirits of those who dare to sleep. Creatures that do so within this aura are beset by disturbing nightmares and hallucinations, and wake up fatigued.
* SuperPersistentPredator: As Desert's Howl hunts for sport rather than to survive, it stalks its prey for several nights so it can savor the fear it inspires in others.
* WasOnceAMan: The most popular stories claim that Desert's Howl was once human--most often a notorious rogue and highwayman named Jalari Zafikiri.

[[folder:Kuworsys]]
->'''Level:''' 12
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil

* ExtraEyes: Wedged within the wrist-shaped tissue that makes up Kuworsys' head are three bloodshot eyes.
* SealedEvilInACan: When the wizards of Tagas sprung their trap on Kuworsys, they created three magical wards to keep it contained. The first is a magical barrier specifically keyed to Kuworsys, preventing it from leaving labyrinth in any manner. The second ward creates a number of shifting walls within the city, with the intent to confound and trap intruders. The final ward creates an almost-imperceptible tone that calls out to nearby animals and beasts to unwittingly serve as guardians to defend their wards and possibly attack Kuworsys.
* StarfishAliens: Kuworsys, who came to Golarion with a meteorite, vaguely resembles a crawling undead hand whose 'fingers' are actually limbs.

[[folder:Tychilarius]]
->'''Level:''' 23

One of the five leaders the Dominion of the Black, and the only one given stats so far.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: In-universe example: its name was first translated (from [[BlackSpeech Aklo]]) as ''the Drowned God'', despite not being a god at all. A better translation was eventually rendered as ''They Drown the Gods in Oblivion''.
* EldritchAbomination: It's a horrible alien monster created by an UnrealisticBlackHole.
* FasterThanLightTravel: It can travel to other solar systems in under two months at most. It is said that Tychilarius was birthed from a black hole into which millions of foul creatures had been pulled, ripped apart into particles and reassembled.
* FusionDance: Tychilarius is made up of thousands of individual creatures fused into one horrific organism with a united intelligence.
* HumanResources: Tychilarius can use the flesh and energy from a creature killed by its void maw to give birth to other creatures associated with the Dominion of the Black.
* LampreyMouth: Its body has a huge lamprey-like mouth surrounded by tentacles ending either in eyes or smaller mouths.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''Tychilarius'' means ''They Drown the Gods in Oblivion'' in Aklo.
* SealedEvilInACan: Tychiarlius is locked away in some manner of prison. The nature of this confinement is uncertain, but for the moment, Tychilarius cannot reach Golarion.

[[folder:Watcher in the Bay]]
->'''Level:''' 24
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* FightingAShadow: This creature is a manifestation of the Outer God Shub-Niggurath.

* MixAndMatchCritters: The Watcher in the Bay appears as a horrific combination of a lamprey and a [[TentacledTerror five-armed squid]].
* WalkingWasteland: The Watcher in the Bay emanates an aura that inflicts intense mental anguish and torment on all creatures that can see and hear the Watcher.

!Constructs

[[folder:Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga]]
->'''Level:''' 17
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* BiggerOnTheInside: The hut's only door opens into a room more than twice the size of its natural size, but this room is but a threshold to places more wondrous still, for it is merely one possible configuration of countless extradimensional rooms.
* MovingBuildings: The ''Dancing Hut'' can physically move on its own, slip between planes and travel to other planets, carrying any inside the hut with it.

!Undead
[[folder:Benthic Reaver]]
->'''Level:''' 21
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* ChillOfUndeath: Cold, blue ghosts of a thousand eyes float above the benthic reaver's gaping maw.
* {{Kaiju}}: The benthic reaver is a cathedral-sized undead monstrosity measuring 50 feet tall, its ribs rising like giant archways. It cut a swath of destruction across Nex before defenders stopped it at Quantium.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: When the defenders of Quantium drove off the benthic reaver, it fled to the ocean depths off Nex's coastline to avoid destruction. Ever since, unconfirmed sightings by fishers and divers have kept its legend alive. While some see the sailors who blame the creature for unexplained shipwrecks as superstitious, mages inside Nex frequently scry the coast, afraid that Geb might try to reclaim one of his greatest weapons.
* MultipleTailedBeast: The benthic reaver's spine splits into three tails.
* UndeadFossils: The benthic reaver was made from the fossil of a leviathan.

[[folder:Burning Child]]
->'''Level:''' 10
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral
->'''Size:''' Small
A spirit of fire and ash formed from the soul of a child with sorcerous powers after his traumatic death.

* GhostlyGoals: Despite everything, he's just a child who wants to be comforted. Putting him to rest for good requires someone to embrace and calm him while he's in physical form.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Most of the time he's invisible and intangible, detectable only by the scent of burning flesh and faint sobbing. Encountering combat, however, sets off his fear and grief, causing him to manifest in a physical form formed from fire and ash.
* PlayingWithFire: A fire sorcerer bloodline in life and a being of fire in death.
* PowerIncontinence: He has no control over the fiery energy that makes up his form. When incited to physical manifestation, it spills out of him in uncontrolled torrents of destruction.
* TragicMonster: In life he was a child whose magical powers caught the attention of orcs who abducted and experimented on him in hopes of turning him into a weapon. When they eventually pushed to far and killed him, his tormented and terrified spirit couldn't pass on and forced him to continue a solitary existence as he wanders in search of his parents in a desperate hope that they will save him. He's been this way for ''centuries''.
* UndeadChild: In life, the Burning Child was a human child abducted by orc alchemists seeking to unlock the mysteries of his sorcerous bloodline and convert him into a weapon.
* WreathedInFlames: When physical, he trails fire with every footstep and scorches all around him.

[[folder:Grim Reaper]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grim_reaper_pathfinder.png]]
->'''Level:''' 21
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
->'''Size:''' Medium

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The Grim Reaper is the unflinching personification of death. Silent as the grave and as inevitable as time itself, this legendary being hunts down and finishes creatures that have evaded death for far too long.
* CriticalHit: Not only does its scythe have an expanded critical hit range, its Death Strike ability means it always confirms.
* DeaderThanDead: If the Grim Reaper kills you, you're gone forever unless a literal god decies to step in and [[DivineIntervention say otherwise]].
* EnemyScan: The Grim Reaper automatically knows the Hit Points, conditions, afflictions, and emotions of all creatures it can see.
* GeniusLoci: The Grim Reaper serves as something of a manifestation of Abaddon itself.
* GrimReaper: In appearance, if not necessarily in behaviour -- the Grim Reaper is the classic hooded, robed and scythe-wielding skeletal figure, but serves less as a psychopomp or angel of death as an all-destroying incarnation of the end of life.
* LifeDrain: Grim reapers gain twenty hit points for themselves every time they successfully harm another creature with their scythes.
* OmnicidalManiac: According to the teaching of some death cults, the final goal of the Grim Reaper is to end the entire cycle of life and death and serve as a silent lord of an empty universe.
* SinisterScythe: It wouldn't be the grim reaper without one. And true to form it's a doozy, an adamantine bladed scythe with the highest bonus a weapon can have, an expanded critical hit range, automatically dealing whatever damage its target is vulnerable to, and with its wielder making five attacks a round. A fitting weapon for Death Itself.
* TrueSight: The Grim Reaper has constant ''true seeing''.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: The Grim Reaper exudes an aura of misfortune, where all living creatures must roll twice for any action and take the worse roll.

[[folder:Ulgrem-Axaan]]
->'''Level:''' 7
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

* LastOfHisKind: The undead Ulgrem-Axaan is the sole 'surviving' member of an otherwise-extinct species.

!Elementals

[[folder:Temteki]]
->'''Level:''' 5

* AcidAttack: The acid that coats the skin of Somnalu eats away at weapons and can be spewed at foes or pumped into trenches dug by Somnalu.
* ExtraEyes: Somnalu's only facial features are a huge red eye surrounded by six smaller, secondary eyes.
* HealingFactor: When Somnalu is defeated, its central eye abandons its dying body to create an ethereal body from the wisps of dreams. Over centuries, it can reform a full body.

[[folder:Black Magga]]
->'''Level:''' 15
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* TheAgeless: Black Magga was effectively immortal until slain by the heroes of Rise of the Runelords.
* CombatTentacles: Black Magga's head lies atop a thrashing mass of tentacles and eyes.
* DeadlyGas: On land, Black Magga can exhale a cloud of foul-smelling, poisonous breath that induces confusion.
* MouthOfSauron: It was said that Lamashtu spoke directly to Black Magga, and for many, the words of the monster were equal to the commands of Lamashtu herself.
* NonHumanUndead: After the original Black Magga was killed, it was cloned by the lich Zinlun and transformed into an undead guardian to protect the entrance to his tomb.
* TeleportInterdiction: Black Magga's presence distorts the dimensions and interrupts with teleportation effects.

[[folder:Blood Queen]]
->'''Level:''' 23
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* CombatTentacles: The tentacles that extend from the Blood Queen's hindquarters are long, muscular and tipped with bonelike stingers that allow it to manipulate objects and electrify victims.
* GodGuise: The Blood Queen has convinced the kuru that it is a living goddess worthy of their veneration.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: The Blood Queen can constantly see and hear through its unholy kuru surrogates.

[[folder:Bloodstorm]]
->'''Level:''' 14
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
->'''Size:''' Huge

* FusionDance: When the grievously wounded shemhazian Gratheyr fled into the waters of Tanglebriar, starving creatures swarmed at the smell of his blood. As they feasted, they were corrupted by Abyssal blood. Gratheyr's heart has continued to beat, binding the swarm to one will.
* HopeSpot: The Bloodstorm has been known to allow wounded victims to narrowly escape and seek aid. Once the victim feels safe, the Bloodstorm strikes again.
* TheWormThatWalks: The Bloodstorm is a roiling mass made out of a hundred thousand leeches, mosquitoes and parasites, but only has one single clever mind.

[[folder:Moxix]]
->'''Level:''' 20
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

* BreathWeapon: He can breath a cone of acidic fog laced with disease.
* {{Cyclops}}: Moxix has a single emerald eye centred in his horrible face.
* DrivenToMadness: Failing a save against its ''eyebite'' spell invokes a second save as Moxix tries to unravel the target's mind.
* GodGuise: Despite not being one himself, Moxix was worshipped as a god by the cyclopes of Ghol-Gan as they slipped more and more into depravity and violence.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Moxix has four arms.
* RockMonster: Moxix appears as a statue of weathered gray stone. Appropriately, much like creatures made of metal or rock, his DamageReduction requires adamantine weapons to penetrate.
* SealedEvilInACan: Moxix was bound to the high mountain peak that would one day become the island of Yoha's Graveyard, ever eager to draw creatures to the ziggurat he calls home.
* ToServeMan: The ancient Ghol-Gan cyclopes fed him hundreds of captured humans, most of whom were of Azlanti descent.

[[folder:Sandpoint Devil]]
->'''Level:''' 6 (Devil), 10 (Spectral Devil)
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

* TheJerseyDevil: The Sandpoint Devil is a cryptid resembling a bipedal horse with large bat-like wings, a draconic tail, deadly fangs and milky eyes. It haunts the town of Sandpoint and its surrounding hinterlands, ever elusive and yet popping up repeatedly to terrorise the locals, earning it a reputation as a living legend.
* NonHumanUndead: Evil as legendary as the Sandpoint Devil doesn't simply vanish when slain. As a fiend, the Sandpoint Devil's body is forged of raw spiritual essence connected to evil, malice, and hate--fertile ground for the corrupting touch of undeath, as negative energy intermingles with its dying spirit. Once the Sandpoint Devil is defeated, a unique spectral undead is quite likely to rise from its remains to carry on its legacy. Unbound from its physical body, the Spectral Devil grows even more powerful.
* PlayingWithFire: The Sandpoint Devil's flaming breath leaves painful burn scars.

[[folder:Voice of the Damned]]
->'''Level:''' 21
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
->'''Size:''' Medium

* GuardianEntity: The Voice of the Damned is a unique entity bound to the Book of the Damned's demiplane. It seeks to guard the book, its repository, and the Unspeakable Word at the demiplane's centre.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: A year after the Unspeakable Word is destroyed (and the Voice of the Damned with it), it reappears and begins processing the backlog of sins it left unrecorded. The Unspeakable Word's restoration also brings the Voice of the Damned back into being. It can only be put down for good if the ''Book of the Damned'' is destroyed.

!Multiple Types

[[folder:Heralds]]
->'''Level:''' 15
Heralds are divine servants of the gods, each a unique being that functions as [[MouthOfSauron messenger of their master]] and a fragment of divine power followers can summon to aid them.

!!Arcanotheign
->'''Type:''' Monitor
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Medium

The herald of Nethys, created out of raw magic to serve him.

* BarrierChangeBoss: When subject to any effect, the Arcanotheign is always treated as the most favourable alignment subtype pertaining to that effect.
* {{Intangibility}}: She's incorporeal by default, although she can take a corporeal form in case she needs some muscle.
* MadeOfMagic: Appropriately enough for the chief servant of the god of magic. The best way to describe her is a sort of [[ElementalEmbodiment magic elemental]].
* NatureLover: She is interested in animals, and her habit of animating animals out of earth, stone or wood represents her respect for animals she has known in the past ages.
* SenseFreak: The Arcanotheign understands she is foreign to mortal life and needs. She enjoys experiencing new aromas and tastes; someone wishing to get on her good side should bring her strongly scented flowers, a tasty meal, or some other physical object that may be new to her experience, even if normal people would find it gross.
* ShockAndAwe: She resembles a vaguely feminine cloud of lightning and ionized gas, and it has ''cloudkill'' and ''lightning bolt'' in her arsenal of spell-like abilities.
* StatuesqueStunner: She stands just over 7 feet tall.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: For some reason, her artwork in ''Inner Sea Gods'' looks completely different from the original (which was a lot more feminine, whereas this one just looks like a vaguely woman-shaped EnergyBeing).

!!Basileus
->'''Type:''' Fiend
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil
->'''Size:''' Medium

The herald of Asmodeus.

* ArtificialHuman: Asmodeus personally created Basileus because all the other devils he previously promoted to herald overstepped their bounds and garnered Asmodeus' disfavour.
* TheDreaded: Basileus rarely appears on the mortal planes, but when he does, he's "the greatest terror of the age", even to Asmodeus' own followers.
* HotAsHell: Basileus typically appears as a youth of stunning but unnatural beauty. His appearance is always appealing, with subtle illusory alterations that differ from viewer to viewer. Those who see through this illusion find a human-like figure resembling his idealised form.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: When using his terror ability, Basileus can manifest one to five additional, monstrous limbs.
* NightmareWeaver: Basileus can surround himself with a terrifying illusion that to all viewers appears as a unique and violent manifestation of the most terrifying thing their minds can conjure.

* AHeadAtEachEnd: After the Emperor of Scales severed his head from his body, his neck has transformed into a multitude of hissing, poisonous vipers.
* LosingYourHead: When Ydersius was decapitated by Savith, the Emperor's head tore itself free from his body, growing to monstrous size while the body quickly withered away. His faithful believe that if Ydersius is restored, so to will his herald.

* ExtraOreDinary: Many of its spell-like abilities involve manipulating metal. It can even transform into a cloud of shrapnel.

They retain all their mortal memories and knowledge, and have been known to call out to loved ones with an unexpected familiarity and affection.

!!Gravedragger

->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

The herald of Zyphus.

* BadWithTheBone: Gravedragger wields a heavy pick made of a rib bone punched through a giant's skull.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Gravedragger was once a mortal serial killer. After a long, successful career, in Zyphus' realm, he was infused with divine power and became the god's herald.

The herald of Minderhal.

* DemonOfHumanOrigin: He was once a mortal stone giant who was elevated to being his god's herald after his death.
* EvilReactionary: He is, as the herald of an evil deity, quite evil himself, and is extremely traditionalist -- he tolerates absolutely no deviation from tradition, not even a change in habitual cooking or in the wording of a traditional song, and will sternly correct any attempt to deviate from tried-and-true orthodoxy.
* FantasticRacism: He's generally contemptuous of non-giants, which he views as lesser races, and considers most non-stone giants to be degenerate as well.
* AFatherToHisMen: Although Iuu is evil, he's unwilling to sacrifice individual stone giant lives in risky gambits unless the survival of their species is at stake.
* NamedWeapons: His hammer is called ''Anfaru'', "Mountain from the Sky".

!!''Kelpie's Wrath''
->'''Type:''' Monitor
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

The herald of Besmara, and also one of her favored ships; while not her personal vessel, it is also intelligent and capable of piloting itself in search of loot for its mistress and havoc for itself.

* ChestMonster: The ''Kelpie's Wrath'' is willing to serve as a lure or decoy, disguising itself as a slow, loot-rich merchant vessel or mysterious shipwreck in a cove.
* GhostShip: Subverted. It looks like one, and might have been one at one point, but these days it's a living outsider similar to a protean.
* LivingShip: The ''Kelpie's Wrath'' is a haunted ship with a malign, vengeful intelligence. It needs no crew and resists mortal attempts to steer it as if it were a mundane ship.
* MindOverMatter: The ''Kelpie's Wrath'' telekinetically moves about foreign objects, amd sometimes does the same to passengers who fail to show respect.
* MysteriousPast: The origins of the ''Kelpie's Wrath'' are mysterious and legends about it are contradictory. The ship does not answer queries about its origin, and if pressed on the matter it has a habit of grabbing its interrogators and diving hundreds of feet under the water.
* ThePeepingTom: The ''Kelpie's Wrath'' has been known to lower its price if arrangements are made for mortals to perform carnal acts on its decks--while it telepathically murmurs approvingly.
* SycophanticServant: When commanded by Besmara, the ''Kelpie's Wrath'' immediately complies, mixing a need for approval with an abject fear of punishment for any perceived disobedience. The ship acts like the only thing it cares about is the goddess, and is willing to sacrifice itself for her approval--it would swim through lava or acid, or run itself aground on a beach of adamantine spikes to please her.
* WhatADrag: It's capable of keelhauling anyone it hits twice in one round, throwing them in the cargo hold to interrogate later, or just across the hull to attempt to shred and drown its targets.

!!Kurshu the Undying

The herald of Lissala.

* DevourTheDragon: Kurshu normally keeps a 'stable' of charmed outsiders near her so she can consume one if necessary.
* SnakePeople: Kurshu has the upper body of a scaled, winged woman and the lower body of a snake. A scaly cobra hood blends into her hair.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Due to her millennia-long separation from Lissala, Kurshu needs to eat, and wastes away without a steady source of outsiders to feed on. At her full power, she is a CR 15 individual, like most other heralds, though when the [=PCs=] of ''The Waking Rune'' (a tier 7-11 Society scenario) confront her, the lack of prey and the close proximity to Krune's rune foci (which draw power directly from outsiders) has further weakened her to CR 13 (in subtier 10-11) or CR 10 (in subtier 7-8).

!!Latten Mechanism
->'''Type:''' Construct
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Large

The herald of Brigh.

* MechanicalInsects: The Latten Mechanism is designed in the shape of a termite.
* NotAfraidToDie: Because it became self-aware only when Brigh built it out of inanimate parts, Latten Mechanism has no fear of death--for it, death is the same as the state of non-consciousness it existed in before its activation. If it is destroyed and subsequently rebuilt by Brigh, Latten Mechanism doesn't even consider this to be an interruption of its consciousness.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Latten Mechanism can extend additional limbs from its body that end in masterwork tools.

* BigEater: Driven by ravenous hunger, the Maw has little purpose but to kill, eat and animate corpses as undead.
* FlyingFace: The Mother's Maw resembles an ogre-sized skull with bat wings.
* ForTheEvulz: If left to its own devices, the Maw casually kills things as a distraction, often reanimating them and killing them again.
* TheHedonist: While the Mother's Maw has no need to eat or drink, it still enjoys these things and is driven by a desire to experience sensation like the worst mortal hedonist.
* WickedCultured: When not on a mission, the Maw is a fount of knowledge about food, wine, exotic scents and other strange experiences only an undead creature can understand, and is quite willing to speak on these matters to an interested party.
* YourSoulIsMine: If the Mother's Maw kills a creature it has swallowed, the victim's soul is trapped within the Maw's skull (the corpse is regurgitated immediately as a mangled wreck of shattered bone and chewed meat). The creature cannot be brought back to life until its soul is freed, because either the Maw deflects a spell at it or is destroyed.

->'''Type:''' Monitor

->'''Size:''' Medium

The herald of Irori.

* AngelUnaware: The Old Man often wanders Golarion as a mortal man, bereft of his supernatural powers, instructing others and leading by example.
* EyeScream: Sometimes, if the Old Man thinks a dangerous foe can be humbled by a crippling injury and might alter its character because of this, he tries to put out one of this enemy's eyes to teach it a lesson.
* LetsGetDangerous: He almost always hides his true nature, pretending to be a frail old man, or at worst a skilled but elderly martial artist. When he does unleash his true power, though...
* MentorOccupationalHazard: He weaponizes it. He will rarely use his full power even to save the life of a mortal form, as he can be recreated, and the death of a mentor is a powerful tool in promoting the growth of his students.
* OldMaster: The Old Man is a teacher, mentor, guide and trainer in the service of Irori. Though he appears frail and may support himself with a cane, crutch or staff, he is incredibly strong and can move with an alien grace when he so chooses.

!!Personification of Fury
->'''Type:''' Elemental
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Huge

The herald of Gozreh.

* HairTriggerTemper: Personification of Fury has a short temper, and has been known to blast even servants of Gozreh with cold or lightning if sufficiently annoyed (though more as a warning than with intent to kill).
* LivingStatue: Personification of Fury often enters certain monoliths and standing stones used by the church of Gozreh, giving them life and speaking as if it were the voice of Gozreh.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: {{Defied|Trope}}. Personification of Fury dislikes being called ''the'' Personification of Fury, as if its name were a title; if a speaker doesn't want to use its full name, it expects to be called ''Fury''.
* WeatherManipulation: As a living storm, Personification of Fury can provide life-sustaining water, whisk others to safety, save mortals from drowning, or rain down watery death upon the enemies of Gozreh.

!!The Prince in Chains
->'''Type:''' Fiend
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil

The herald of Zon-Kuthon. Once a noble spirit and the father of Zon-Kuthon, the Midnight Prince twisted and warped his own father into the abomination he is today.

* PerpetuallyProtean: Countless mouths perpetually form and melt back into the Prince in Chains' body.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In primordial times, this thing used to be Thron, a noble spirit-wolf who sired Dou-Bral and Shelyn. When Dou-Bral became Zon-Kuthon, he bound Thron in razor-sharp chains and dragged him off as a plaything. For years, Zon-Kuthon tortured his own father, peeling away strips of his immortal flesh and fashioning him into the Prince in Chains.

!!The Spirit of Adoration

->'''Alignment:''' NeutralGood
->'''Size:''' Large

The herald of Shelyn.

* AngelicBeauty: The Spirit of Adoration is attractive according to the standards of the local people, but never so beautiful as to cause jealousy or inspire inappropriate comments or attention.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: When interacting with easily frightened mortals (especially children), the Spirit of Adoration assumes the form of a human or elf of normal height.

* WingedHumanoid: She typically takes the form of a winged human or elf.

!!The Stabbing Beast
->'''Type:''' Fiend

The herald of Norgorber.

* BattleTrophy: The Beast covers the corpses of its victims in a preservative bile, swallows them in its scorpion form, and regurgitates them as trophies when it returns to its lair deep beneath Axis.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Each time the Stabbing Beast is killed, Norgorber wipes its memory of these failures when he resurrects his herald.
* NotAfraidToDie: The Stabbing Beast has no fear of death and does not believe that anything other than its master can kill it.
* ScorpionPeople: The Stabbing Beast, whose natural form is that of an huge scorpion, can also assume a humanoid shape.

!!Steward of the Skein
->'''Type:''' Monitor

->'''Size:''' Medium

The herald of Pharasma.

* TheBlank: Her only facial features are a pair of intensely-glowing eyes.

!!Sunlord Thalachos
->'''Type:''' Celestial
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralGood

The herald of Sarenrae.

* AngelUnaware: In times of peace Thalachos wanders the world disguised as a humble priest of the Dawnflower, curing sickness and injuries.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Two of Thalachos' hands hold flaming scimitars, while the other two wield a mighty longbow.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Some chapters of Sarenrae's faith claim that Thalachos is reborn every day. Certainly he has died in battle and appeared unharmed at a later time, though there is insufficient evidence to answer whether he actually rises again at the dawn.

!!Thais

->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticGood
->'''Size:''' Medium

The herald of Cayden Cailean. Thais was a prostitute and close friend of Cayden in his Adventurer days. Cayden repaid her friendship by promoting her to the position after her death.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's based on one of UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat's consorts, but is presumably a lot nicer than the real Thais was -- she never helped burn down a city, for one.
* AngelicBeauty: Thais typically appears as a beautiful angelic woman.
* AngelicTransformation: After Thais died, Cayden, already an ascended god, claimed her soul and somewhat impulsively made her his herald.
* DeadlyGaze: Thais' penetrating gaze burns deep into the hearts and souls of lawful enemies.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: She's loosely based Thaïs, a prostitute who accompanied UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: In her mortal life, she was a sex worker and a very close and genuine friend of the then-nobody Cayden.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Thais dresses in scandalous ribbons that offer little in terms of modesty.

->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

The herald of Lamashtu.

[[folder:Grogrisant]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grogrisant.png]]
->'''Level:''' 16
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticNeutral
->'''Size:''' Huge
A legendary beast that resembles a six-eyed lion, the grogrisant has appeared several times throughout Taldor's history and has always been slain by a hero of the people.

* BodyBackupDrive: According to research published by the Imperial College of Heralds, when the grogrisant is killed, primal magical energy arising from the land of Taldor immediately begins to coalesce around a lion, transforming it into the grogrisant after a century or more.
* ExtraEyes: It has six eyes arranged in a fan shape across its upper face.
* FieryLion: Its mane blazes like the sun -- so brightly, in fact, that it blinds those who look at it -- and it can wreathe itself in flame at will.
* GiantAnimalWorship: In the centuries before Taldor's foundation, the grogrisant was worshipped as a god by the people in the Tandak Plains before First Emperor Taldaris killed it.
* LightEmUp: Its mane blazes with blinding light, and it can cast ''sunbeam'' at will.
* MegaNeko: It stands eighteen feet at the shoulder, considerably taller than the largest recorded elephants in real life.

[[folder:Juggerloathe]]

->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan
The offspring of Lamashtu's herald and a bulette, this titanic creature is a living legend.

* AbstractEater: Physical matter is actually completely unharmed by its stomach. Instead it feeds on life energy, which is separate from souls in case you were wondering.
* HybridMonster: The Juggerloathe is the offspring of the Yethazmari, Lamashtu's herald, and a massive bulette.
* InASingleBound: It can leap long distances, landing hard enough to knock down anything around it.
* MookMaker: Those it swallows become bodaks with its stomach as it leeches the life from their bodies, regardless of what the creature originally was. Mechanically they function just like any bodak but they're noted to look bestial and warped even beyond typical bodaks.
* SuperSpit: It can disgorge the contents of its stomach, spewing both acid and any victims or undead it currently holds within it.

[[folder:Leviathan]]

* CombatTentacles: Black Magga's head lies atop a thrashing mass of tentacles and eyes.
* DeadlyGas: On land, Black Magga can exhale a cloud of foul-smelling, poisonous breath that induces confusion.
* MouthOfSauron: It was said that Lamashtu spoke directly to Black Magga, and for many, the words of the monster were equal to the commands of Lamashtu herself.
* NonHumanUndead: After the original Black Magga was killed, it was cloned by the lich Zinlun and transformed into an undead guardian to protect the entrance to his tomb.
* TeleportInterdiction: Black Magga's presence distorts the dimensions and interrupts with teleportation effects.

[[folder:Blood Queen]]

* GodGuise: The Blood Queen has convinced the kuru that it is a living goddess worthy of their veneration.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: The Blood Queen can constantly see and hear through its unholy kuru surrogates.

[[folder:Bloodstorm]]

* FusionDance: When the grievously wounded shemhazian Gratheyr fled into the waters of Tanglebriar, starving creatures swarmed at the smell of his blood. As they feasted, they were corrupted by Abyssal blood. Gratheyr's heart has continued to beat, binding the swarm to one will.
* HopeSpot: The Bloodstorm has been known to allow wounded victims to narrowly escape and seek aid. Once the victim feels safe, the Bloodstorm strikes again.
* TheWormThatWalks: The Bloodstorm is a roiling mass made out of a hundred thousand leeches, mosquitoes and parasites, but only has one single clever mind.

->'''Size:'''

[[folder:Moxix]]
->'''Level:''' 20
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* SoulPoweredEngine: The Grand Defender is animated by the collective will of dozens of great dwarf, who consider it an honour to lend their knowledge and love of battle to this mighty shell so it can protect dwarves in the mortal world. These heroes control the golem for anything from a single manifestation to several consecutive months before returning to Heaven. They retain all their mortal memories and knowledge, and have been known to call out to loved ones with an unexpected familiarity and affection.

The herald of Besmara.

* AmbiguousSituation: There is reason to believe that the WasOnceAMan origin story is part of a scam, as there are rumors that coins that can be found in Thuvia have a code engraved into them that can reveal the location of Jalari Zafikiri's treasure, and some merchants claim without basis to be able to identify which ones are real.

* MultipleChoicePast: It's unknown where exactly Desert's Howl comes from. The most popular origin is that the Desert's Howl WasOnceAMan, but it's also speculated it may be the spawn of [[MotherOfAThousandYoung Lamashtu]]. As the Desert's Howl is an aberration that has power over nightmares, and Lamashtu is the goddess of both of those things, it wouldn't be surprising.
* NightmareSequence: Desert's Howl exudes a massive psychic disturbance many miles away from its location, assaulting the minds and spirits of those who dare to sleep. Creatures that do so within this aura are beset by disturbing nightmares and hallucinations, and wake up fatigued.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: In First Edition, Desert's Howl was a desert {{Wendigo}}, which the Second Edition version explicitly isn't, and it was named Aridus. Additionally, the WasOnceAMan origin was the official one. The Second Edition version is more mysterious, which is justified as the creature is ShroudedInMyth.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Because the Desert's Howl hunts for sport rather than to survive, it can stalk its prey for several nights.

* YourWorstNightmare: Basileus can surround himself with a terrifying illusion that to all viewers appears as a unique and violent manifestation of the most terrifying thing their minds can conjure. This horror can only be seen by each individual onlooker, with even Basileus being unaware of what his viewers see.
