* The Hook Mountain Massacre
** Really, ''everything'' in this chapter. You want specifics? [[YouDoNotWantToKnow You really don’t]], but if you insist…
** The Graul Farm almost surpasses the ruin of Fort Rannick in terms of [[HillbillyHorrors grotesque ogre antics.]] Almost. From the [[FatBastard morbidly obese]], [[ILoveTheDead necrophiliac]] and [[VillainousIncest incestuous]] [[EvilMatriarch Mammy Graul]]; to the various [[BodyHorror ogrekin deformities]]; to the horrific and cruel traps; and finally, the [[GiantSpider giant freaking ogre spider]] they keep in the basement; the ogrekin of the Graul family give the players their first taste of the [[ChaoticEvil savage depravities]] of ogrekind.
** The ogre attack on Fort Rannick, and the carnage the [=PCs=] walk in on. One ogre is making dough from [[{{Squick}} the guards’ entrails]], one wears a bunch of dead minks in place of his severed jaw, one writes graffiti using a beheaded corpse as a brush, one enjoys playing with the corpse of a cleric of Erastil, and there's the [[BadBoss absolutely]] [[AbusiveParents brutal]] ways that Jaagreth Kreeg maintains control over his clan. The [=PCs=] are given plenty of opportunities to KickTheSonOfABitch; after seeing all this, they may very well take them.
** The flood. Besides the danger of a young girl [[AdultFear getting eaten by a gigantic snake]], there’s also the sudden appearance of Black Magga.
** The fate of Avaxial in Skull’s Crossing. The pit fiend has been trapped here for millennia, and his life force has been slowly draining away (in game terms, he has 19 negative levels; one more will kill him). And even if the [=PCs=] decide to save him (when it’s in their best interest to [[MercyKill put him out of his misery]]), the text states that he may very well come back to [[UngratefulBastard murder them]] for finding him in such a humiliated state.

They basically practice all of the same horrors as ogres, but with their own horrors on top of it. For example, not only do females spend so much time chewing on toxic mushrooms to enjoy the drugged out states that ensue they invariably either neglect their children or retard them with their poisoned milk, fathers and mothers typically ''eat'' their children, since their barbaric form of animism preaches that offspring are parasites of the soul.

* The Qlippoth are Pathfinder's answers to the Obyriths. They are horrifically alien elder fiends that once ruled the Abyss before the coming of demonkind -- and they want it ''back''.
* Pathfinder explicitly includes many creatures from the Literature/CthulhuMythos as part of its settings. Hounds of Tindalos, Dimensional Shamblers, Gugs, Denizens of Leng and their Spider enemies, Moonbeasts, Shantaks, Nightgaunts, Shoggoths, Elder Things, Flying Polyps, Bholes... the list just keeps going on, and even includes some of the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, like Hastur, Shub-Niggurath and Cthulhu himself.
* Kytons, in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', were traditionally a minor fiendish race of minimal importance, chain-wrapped goalers who dwelt upon the LawfulEvil plane of Archeon. In Pathfinder? Kytons are a race of sadomasochistic artists of BodyHorror, [[Film/{{Hellraiser}} Cenobite]] expies who rule the Plane of Shadow.
* Similarly, Pathfinder abandons the mercenary war-profiteering Yugoloths of ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'' for its own dark entities, the Daemons. Born as the embodiments of mortal deaths of all kinds -- old age, murder, insanity, poison, pollution, etc -- and ruled by the Four HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, these NeutralEvil fiends have but a single goal. Stemming back to the very depths of D&D CharacterAlignment lore, these monsters want but a single thing: [[OmnicidalManiac the extermination of all life]]. They want to kill all of the gods, all of the planar races, all of the mortal races -- they just want to kill and kill until there's nothing left but their own kind. And then, when TheMultiverse is empty of all life except Daemonkind, they will turn on each other until only a single last solitary Daemon survives. That Daemon will bask in the utter emptiness... and then kill itself, as with nothing else to distract it, the fiend's hatred of its own existence is all that it has left to sate.

** First up, there's the Ogres, from their first appearance in "The Hook Mountain Massacre".

Their idea of games include mig-a-mug-tug (grab each other by sensitive spots and yank as hard as you can; first one to collapse in pain loses) and man-swords (smash two humanoids together until they've been crushed to a pulp). Their genes are so polluted that not only are "ogrekin" invariably distorted and grotesque-looking, the ogre's genes effectively destroy the bloodline -- an ogrekin can mate with humans, but nothing in their family tree will ''ever'' resemble a human again. Worse still, the rampant inbreeding ogres practice can eventually lead to them devolving into "degenerate ogres", creatures so foul and hideous that ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards even other ogres]]'' think of them as primitive monstrosities. To say nothing of the mutations that can plague given clans, like the Shaggras, whose whole bodies are covered in carpets of thick, greasy, rank PrehensileHair.
