Hidden deep within the heart of most centaur lands lies

their most sacred territory, a place these hybrid creatures
call the First Pasture. Centaur greenspeakers hold sway
in these spaces, delivering sermons in open fields under
both the midday sun and the twilight sky. Here tribes
celebrate weddings, harvests, and births under the sun’s
warm glow, and perform rites of adulthood, rituals to
bring luck before a battle, and homages to the tribe’s
ancestors under the sparse light of the moon and
stars. Of these celebrations, centaurs revere none
more than the death rites their greenspeakers
provide for fallen clan members. When the sun sets,
the greenspeakers light a great pyre to release the
deceased’s spirit from her mortal flesh. After the pyre
burns through the night and the sun’s first rays crest
the horizon, the fallen centaur’s kin collect the ashes and
fertilize the fields with them so that the dead may serve
the world anew.
Centaur greenspeakers who cultivate the fields of the
First Pasture are known as “Sowers of the Ash.” Centaur
clans trust these holy preachers to tend to the sacred
meadows, where a kaleidoscope of wild flowers blooms
from spring to the fading days of autumn. Centaurs use the
blossoms as central decorations for their celebrations and
ceremonies, and greenspeakers weave the remaining
flowers into fragrant mantles that signal their rank
in society; the more ornate a greenspeaker’s mantle,
the more experienced and venerated he is.

While most centaurs shun settled life

and academic studies—and by
extension arcane magic—
outcasts view Golarion as
too interesting to limit
themselves to remote
pastures and placid forest
glens. Less xenophobic and more
independent than their kin, outcasts
answer the siren call of the larger world.
Often ridiculed and chastised by their own
people, outcasts find no solace in centaur
society—tribes have little use for an extra
mouth to feed who reads and writes when
he should hunt or forage, and outcasts generally have no
love for the “primitive” ways their people idolize.
Outcasts’ insatiable need for new experiences frequently
overtakes them, and they rarely call one place home, or
one group of people friends, for very long. Instead, they
plod forever forward, challenging themselves with new
languages, cultures, spells, and the constant frustration
of humanoid stairs. Outcasts hold no ill will toward their
former kin, though they consider traditional centaurs
narrow-minded country cousins, ignorant of the outside
world’s seemingly infinite expanse.

branches high above the jungle floor, they stalk their prey
and wait for targets to wander off alone or stumble into
one of their traps or the wilderness’ hazards, striking
swiftly and mercilessly once their quarry can’t fight back.
Groups of deadfall trackers are ruthlessly efficient,
staggering themselves to allow fire from multiple
vantage points. They enforce a strict code of silence
while marching captives back to Usaro, sometimes
going so far as to sew shut the lips of slaves who
won’t—or can’t—keep quiet. They sometimes
release one or two slaves to startle unexpected
travelers, using the distraction to capture a
few more thralls for the Gorilla King. Slaves
who show a knack for distracting prey may
even become favored pets, fed well and beaten
less than most. Any prisoners who flee during
the trek without consent are chased down and
recaptured, if the trackers feel merciful; otherwise,
the fugitive becomes a welcome meal on the long,
lonely trail.
These charau-ka sometimes fall
upon travelers simply to loot them,
gathering supplies they need to build
ingenious contraptions. Anyone who picks
up the trail of a deadfall tracker is sure to come
upon a devious trap before long. The secrets of trap
construction and placement are kept by the elders of
the tribe, who carefully detail where to place the devices
in the jungle to maximize their disruptive potential.

As the cyclopes’ civilization crumbled, the focus of
cyclops life shifted from intellectual and spiritual
pursuits to base survival, and those who excelled at
hunting, gathering, and enduring the harsh world rose
to positions of power and prestige over what remained
of their people. Though rarely leaders—cyclopes still
revere magical acumen over martial power, even in
their humbled state—manhunters occupy a position
of respect among cyclops tribes, feeding their peoples’
massive appetites with the flesh of beasts and sentient
beings alike. Though competent archers, these hunters
are rarely content to draw blood from afar, and train for
close combat. Taking advantage of their size, they learn
to reap foes with the same strength that their ancestors
reaped wheat. Most manhunters prefer to use their
archery skills only to harry and anger targets into closing
with them, or to stop fleeing opponents lest their tender
flesh be wasted. Familiar as they are with their tribal
lands and always on the move, these towering hunters
are often the first cyclopes that outsiders encounter, and
just as often the last.
Manhunters also enforce the law in their communities,
dispensing scars and capital punishment for crimes—
real or imagined—with swift brutality. Without courts
or prisons, modern cyclops justice has devolved into
scarification, mutilation, and execution for any crimes.
The manhunters impose these cyclopean standards of
justice on all they encounter, even when well beyond the
lands directly under their control, as they believe the
wisdom of the cyclopes is absolute.
While humanoids are their favored prey, manhunters
delight in tracking all manner of creatures and wearing
their skulls, skins, and shiny belongings as trophies. They
rarely use stealth, instead openly pursuing their victims
over great distances. In a proper hunt, exhaustion is as
likely to fell a manhunter’s prey as her axe.

The cyclopes’ decline from greatness is not a finished

fact of history but an ongoing process, and some among
them creep closer to animalistic fury. The smashers
epitomize this descent, clothing themselves in rough
hides and living as nomadic predators. Filled with rage
and a total rejection of everything their people once
achieved, these massive brutes experience incredible
joy in destroying the works of civilization. They
tear down homes and buildings, rip out orchards,
slaughter livestock, and crush forges. The ruins
of their own peoples’ grandeur drive them into a
frenzy, and smashers may spend weeks or months
ripping down the remains of cyclopean temples or cities,

Despite their inherent divinatory gift, few cyclopes

embrace the path of the grand-eye. A dedicated minority—
respected and even revered by their brethren—retain some
semblance of their peoples’ grandeur. Though still cursed
with great rages and ravenous hunger, grand-eyes temper
those primal urges with spiritual wisdom and historical
insight. Most live apart from their kind, advising only
occasionally, for fear that other cyclopes’ terrible impulses
will drag them down as well. The grand-eyes are legendary
prophets, and sometimes meddle in other races’ affairs by
offering prophecy, spells, and magical goods.

These sinister derros specialize in the skills needed

to keep their underground civilization hidden from
the surface world. Years of study and experimentation
provide them with an unnatural understanding of
how the humanoid mind works, especially the sections
governing memory. Derro brainwashers program new
memories into their targets and remove unwanted
memories altogether; they edit away any evidence of
their people and sow chaos within a subject’s psyche,
leaving the unfortunate soul jabbering and confused.
Brainwashers typically venture aboveground to
examine former test subjects when their memories
of Nar-Voth visits threaten to return with unwelcome
clarity. Instead of killing these leaks outright, the
derro would rather protect their investment and try
to recover these subjects, open them up to see what
went wrong, and return them after appropriate repairs.
Fortunately for the brainwashers, these former guests are
generally so unhinged from their experience that they’re
unable to hide effectively. Most rave about white-eyed
abductors, slobbering in seedy taverns where they quell
the horrible visions with strong drink, or are locked away
in asylums when they’re caught violently preparing for
their tormentors’ return. Once the brainwashers locate
their targets, they incapacitate the unfortunate victims,
bring them back underground, and alter their
memories of recent events using either magic or
drastic surgery. They rarely come to the surface
unprepared or alone, however, and their expeditions
often return with new subjects as well as old ones.

Hunting below the waves secures only a precarious living,

and forges don’t burn underwater. To acquire worked
goods and supplement their income, many Low Azlanti
turn to scavenging. Shipwrecks, storm-washed flotsam,
and jetsam abandoned to dodge customs officers all offer
a wealth of goods now beyond the reach of their human
creators and free to any aquatic creature strong and brave
enough to claim them. Those gillmen who pick the bones
of sunken hulks must compete with other ocean-going
scavengers, from sharks and giant crabs to sahuagin.
Fierce battles can erupt over new opportunities, just as
surface peoples may battle over a mine or treasure-laden
tomb. Truly successful scavengers often conceal or booby-
trap their most lucrative discoveries, or recruit additional
gillmen to help them guard a find and swiftly pick it
clean. Groups of gillmen ranging in size from small
gangs to large organized companies may claim especially
treacherous waters and identify these jagged reefs, storm-
wracked passes, and monster-infested shoals with distinct
markers, which canny sailors learn to use for navigation.
While most ship scavengers content themselves with
recovering lost treasures from past accidents or battles,
a greedy few cause shipwrecks by moving buoys,
extinguishing lighthouses, disseminating false
charts, and sabotaging vessels. The worst are
little better than pirates, prying ships apart from below
the waves or setting them aflame, then slaughtering the
crew as they leap into the ocean. Whether they’re malign
or merely opportunistic, ship scavengers are unlikely to
share a wreck’s treasures, even—or especially—with its
air-breathing former owners.

The Low Azlanti are a people of the sea, and squall seers
find special purpose and insight in buffeting winds and
driving rain. They use these times to plumb the nature of
reality through magic and drugs, letting their visions guide
their voyages and adventures. These gillmen feel the most
primal displays of nature’s fury echoing in their pulses and
eventually learn to bend that power to their command.
Equal parts clergy and sailors, squall seers often amass
cultish crews of gillmen and humans with blind faith in
their ability to see ships through any storm as they journey
across Golarion, whether they’re crashing through ice floes
in the Steaming Sea, riding the storm-lashed currents
of the Eye of Abendego, or challenging beasts from the
darkest ocean trenches. More than a few alternate between
piracy and pirate-hunting, following whatever impulse
seems most exciting; they may be denounced in one city
only to be celebrated 50 miles up the coast.

favored enemy (monstrous humanoids +2), powerful They fall upon settlements to steal worked goods, free
charge (gore, 1d6+17) or kill livestock, and capture humanoids for their
tribes to feed upon. Marauders also skirmish with
other monstrous inhabitants of their rocky badlands—
especially harpies and centaurs, for whom they hold
a legendary hatred—to claim the best land, lairs, and
water sources.
Young marauders train by letting their brethren
hunt them like beasts, competitions that end in
vicious, hours-long wrestling matches and fistfights.
These childhood games eventually evolve into contests
of arms, speed, and marksmanship that often result
in painful—but not debilitating—permanent
injuries that contribute to the marauders’
legendarily short tempers.
Marauders show a keener mind for tactics
than do many of their kin. While they still
prefer to finish enemies off with a gore-
spattering axe blow, they see nothing wrong with
first softening up opponents from a distance with
a bow or a few well-placed traps. They can control their
aggression well enough to benefit from hit-and-run
tactics, charging an overwhelming force before falling
back to lure their enemy into an ambush, a rockslide,
or—in the case of flying pests like harpies—nets.
Thanks to their varied responsibilities and opponents,
marauders train until they achieve incredible skill
with both axes and bows. They make the most of the
labyrinthine caverns and twisting canyons of their
domains to confuse and separate foolish enemies who
press into their lands.
These minotaurs show an uncharacteristic kindness
to beasts of the field, sometimes training goats, dogs, or
bulls to serve them as pets and guardians.

Weaker than many of their brutish kin, tangle tenders

instead apply their racial cunning and understanding
of complex systems to mechanical devices, constructing
ingenious traps that whittle away those lost in the
labyrinths with little or no direct danger to themselves.
They build and reset traps, alter or conceal carefully
whatever trails their victims attempt to leave,
and strike from the shadows only once their
victims are desperate, exhausted, and at each
others’ throats. Their tactics aren’t motivated
by cowardice; rather, these cruel creators love to
inflict misery by outwitting their enemies rather
than out-muscling them. Tangle tenders
belong to the maze; they are intimately
familiar with every twist and turn, and are
keen to introduce interlopers to each in turn.
Among minotaur tribes, tangle tenders hold
a strange position, both necessary and loathed.
They never shy away from bragging about their
genius, and their kin recognize the value of a
tangle tender’s devices for trapping prey. But minotaurs
respect strength, courage, and aggression first and
foremost, and these clever rogues excel at none of those
qualities—most thus see these trapsmiths as socially
stunted, needlessly sadistic (even by minotaur standards),
and physically weak to the point of embarrassment. Few
voice these opinions, however, as those who do frequently
face tragic accidents deep within the maze.

lack any of the beauty or compassion of their humanoid
parents, leaning heavily toward the ogres with whom
they sometimes breed. They’ve honed their survival skills
through self-sufficiency and isolation and walk quietly
through the trees, quickly overwhelming woodcutters,
hunters, and trappers unfortunate enough to cross
the ever-shifting borders of the stalkers’ territories.
Kreegwood stalkers are potent warriors—
capable of dealing catastrophic damage with a
single blow—and train their increasingly inbred
descendents to be brutally effective with oversized
weapons. Kreegwood stalkers like to fell large trees
near paths through their forests to redirect travelers
into ambushes at dead ends, switchbacks, and briars.
When bloodied but not defeated, these ogrekin fall
back into nearby overgrown woods and stalk their prey
unseen. They stay ahead of savvy enemies so they can
build snares, rile up wild animals, and drop impromptu
avalanches of massive trees or stones upon foes.
Kreegwood stalkers quickly evaluate the health of
subdued quarry. Any creature that’s still breathing is
bound or shackled before its wounds are treated—a
slave or meal for later is far more valuable than a corpse,
and keeps far longer as provisions. When all other
enemies are defeated, the ogrekin hoist their bound
captives onto the hafts of their huge hammers and
carry these victims off to be kept with the rest of
the stalkers’ unfortunate prey. Of all of Golarion’s
ogrekin, stalkers are the most sentimental, frequently
taking spoils of victory from those they’ve defeated.
Kreegwood homes are grotesque affairs, built
in the fashion of human cabins but decorated
with the bones, teeth, and skin of victims.

Most members of this avian race balk at the idea of

blending in with humans, but that is exactly the goal of
strix infiltrators. Their magnificent plumage is clipped
and stuffed under bulky garments in their efforts to pass
as humans, and they learn the clumsy speech and blunt
gestures of their enemies to better walk among foes and
learn their secrets. Few succeed perfectly without the aid
of magic, though, so infiltrators also study the ancient
concoctions used by their people for years, turning the
arts of hunting and healing to deception and murder.
Hearing the droning voices of humanity, seeing
their featherless, leathery flesh, and dealing with their
smell wears on any strix, but being unable to stretch
one’s wings and take flight when instinct calls for it is
a chronic torture infiltrators must endure. Despite this
discomfort, these quiet spies understand that of all the
campaigns launched against the human settlements that
encroach upon their territory, none is more important to
maintaining the strix way of life than theirs. Posing
as a friend and sometimes more to their despised
foes, infiltrators keep a close and personal eye on
their neighbors and position themselves for success
in espionage and sabotage. The occasional assassination
mission provides a small reward for their pain.

the itaraak caste defend their people from all threats—
and to an itaraak, anything may be a threat—with
such ferocity that the mention of these so-called “strix
revengers” makes even the most stoic Chelish soldier
shudder. These pitch-black guardians, lauded
as heroes among their kind, release the fury of a
nation upon any who cross them. Birthed from the
largest eggs and raised for combat from nestlings, the
greatest and most heavily scarred itaraak maintain a
warriors’ tradition from before a time of great darkness.
This caste was originally formed to defend their people
from a sister race of avians remembered only as the
“betrayers,” but the itaraak have adapted their hit-and-
run tactics, strikes from cover, and devastating diving
charges to push back human intruders. The strix have
also incorporated brutally efficient grappling techniques
over the years, lifting land-bound opponents into the
sky and letting the rocky terrain of the Devil’s Perch
deliver the final blow.
These warriors run many civil matters that are
outside the rokoa’s spiritual authority with a gruff
and haphazard democracy, with tribe members’ votes
weighted by the resources they provide the group. Only
the rokoa herself can override these group decisions, and
even then only for a time. Unfortunately, the itaraak’s
inflamed animosity and general bitterness often push
them to make ill-advised raids on otherwise peaceful
settlements, bringing down a disproportionate response
from Chelish forces.

Urdefhan culture relies on the forceful maintenance

of authority, and many of the urdefhans’ farthest-flung
conquests see brutal enforcement of their will thanks
to the arterial link of the Sightless Sea. Many urdefhans
crew ocean-going vessels for their people, treading a thin
line between marines and pirates. Their crimson-sailed
ships ply the Sightless Sea deep below Golarion’s surface
to impose daemonic law on foreign shores, press other
sailors into service—albeit briefly before working or
torturing them to death—and sink any vessel that shows
the audacity to resist being boarded and “inspected.”
Inclined as they are towards suffering (both their own
and that of others), some independent urdefhans also
sail the Sightless Sea and other bodies of water in the
Darklands as freebooters or traders, but
only the most depraved, strongest,
and most foolhardy of other races
would dare sign on with such a
grotesque crew.
Thanks to their years spent on rolling decks and in
tight quarters, urdefhan sailors are faster and more
dexterous than the landlubber soldiers of their empire,
and all the more vicious and desperate in battle for their
lack of overwhelming reinforcements. Their vessels,
which are freely traded between urdefhans whenever
they find port, are floating sanctuaries of disease
and torture and are chronically undersupplied. Crew
members eat only by claiming the cargo and passengers
aboard the enemy ships they raid; conveniently, to the
urdefhans, everyone is an enemy. When these stolen
supplies run dry, crew members readily devour the flesh
of weaker shipmates to continue their grim voyages of
theft, conquest, and slaughter.

since it wrenches their souls from the sweet oblivion that
awaits them beyond and forces their continued suffering on
the Material Plane. Necromancers flourish among urdefhans,
serving as jailers, mercenaries, and labor contractors.

An Awe-Inspiring Assembly!
The Inner Sea region of the Pathfinder campaign setting is rife with monstrous
foes, and 10 of the most fascinating are detailed in Pathfinder Campaign Setting:
Inner Sea Monster Codex! From winged strix to aquatic gillmen, Golarion offers
no shortage of iconic and inspiring antagonists to challenge any group of
adventurers—and unexpected allies to aid them. Each entry presents a trove of
information about the nature, history, society, and habits of one of Golarion’s
monstrous races, and ready-made examples of roles found
among each creature type, from centaur foragers and cyclops
lorekeepers to minotaur prophets and ogrekin looters.
Inside this book, you’ll find creatures like:
► Charau-ka, fierce simian humanoids who worship

demons and possess a thirst for bloodshed.
► Cyclopes, once part of a grand, ancient society
but now reduced to a hunger sated only by sacrifice.
► Gillmen, amphibious humanoids who claim to be
the inheritors of the fallen Azlanti empire.
► Girtablilus, bold scorpionfolk who guard the
mysterious ruins of Golarion’s deserts.
► Strix, black-winged terrors intent on protecting
their homeland from the human scourge.
► Sadistic derros, malevolent minotaurs, aberrant
ogrekin, and more!
The Inner Sea Monster Codex is intended for

use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the
Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be used in
any fantasy game setting.
