The new sourcebook includes monster challenges for every level of character as well as new allies to help the heroes, including new familiars and animal companions.  The themes for this book include creatures with mind-warping powers, creatures from beyond reality, new angels and demons, and beings more typically associated with science fiction than fantasy, such as robots and grey aliens.

Bestiary 5 will be a 320 page, full-color hardcover book.  It was written by Pathfinder’s lead designer Jason Bulmahn.  MSRP is $44.99.

Paizo launched a new system for organized in-store events in April (see “Paizo Launches New Hobby OP Initiative”).
