The greatest monsters of fantasy gaming come alive in the very first hardcover release for Paizo's new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game! Backward-compatible with the 3.5 fantasy rules but packed with new solutions and options that place it firmly on the cutting edge, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is the culmination of the largest open playtest in tabletop RPG history.

This lavishly illustrated, full-color tome contains new takes on more than 250 of the best-loved, most popular monsters of fantasy, ready for instant use in your Pathfinder or 3.5 campaign!

From the comedic-but-deadly goblin to the world-killing Tarrasque, the Pathfinder Bestiary contains a wide range of foes suitable for battles with characters of all experience levels. The book's innovative design and presentation-each monster receives either a full page or two-page spread-makes for an easy reference book that is also fun to read and delightful to flip through and enjoy as a gallery of the industry's strongest fantasy art.

With a cover by fan-favorite Wayne Reynolds and new takes on classic monsters from the best of Paizo's in-house and freelance designers and artists, the Pathfinder Bestiary will set a new standard for RPG monster books in a way that only Paizo can deliver.
