Hey there, goblins! 👽 We just got our hands on the new Pathfinder 2e Monster Core 2, and it's... weird. In the best way. This isn't your standard book of goblins and trolls ; this is a collection of planar oddities, bizarre aberrations, and some truly nightmarish BBEG material.



Before we dive into the book, we talk about "What We Played," including Robert's all-undead party accidentally breaking the Blood Lords adventure path and his plans for a new rib-cage xylophone.



Then, we give our top picks from Monster Core 2. We each chose our favorites based on different criteria—from the best BBEG for a one-shot to the most mind-bending monster lore. We cover:


The Sahkil: Demons that are the literal physical manifestation of your imposter syndrome, anxiety, and fear of insects.






The Goblin Snake: A level 4 goblin hydra that argues with itself and might just be a demigod to other goblins.





The Ravager: A "Lich Dragon" template for the most prideful, power-hungry dragons who would rather serve a demon lord than die.




The Swarm Strider: A "Worm-That-Walks" template that creates a new villain based on its dying emotion, like a swarm of bugs driven by pure rage or confused piety.





The Despair Dragon: Our pick for the best art and BBEG in the book—an unassuming elven librarian who is secretly a dragon that feeds on fear.





...and many more! Is this book worth your money? Let's find out.
