Hey there fine folks

Made some more beasties for my future in-Golarion scenario for Pathfinder 2e, this time heavily inspired in medieval manuscripts and some fantastic animals represented in heraldic art. Oh and the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus because I love that thing. And the idea of mixing an octocpus and a slug seems like a good outcome for it.

Hope you like them and stay tuned for the next post in Easter where I will reveal who lives in these scenario alongs those creatures. But I can give you a little hint as well in the image bellow... Not all of them will be there but most of the will.

Special thanks to @a-book-of-creatures for the inspo this time and presenting us with their fantastic beasts.
