Fallen icons, apocalyptic fire giants, and a purple dragon who throws the best parties: welcome to 13th Age Bestiary 2!
More than 250 individual stat blocks appear in 51 entries, along with with story hooks, icon relationships, customizable campaign variants, and advice on creating exciting battles.
New monsters for your campaign include:
- The Gold King and the Forest that Walks, fallen icons who must be defeated by a blend of swords, spells, and campaign victories.
- A wizard bonded to their spellbook, a rogue bonded to their magic cloak, and other former heroes who took shortcuts to power by merging with their magic items.
- The Lich King’s covert undead propaganda force: the Cult of the Silver Hand.
- Fomorians, monstrous worshipers and children of the ancient chaos gods.
- Malatyne, the purple dragon whose entertainments are legendary—and the player characters might be the main attraction…
- Lions (temple); tigers (elemental and rakshasa); and owlbears (snowy and great horned).
Plus an appendix on using these monsters when playing 13th Age in Glorantha!

Just finish already and take my money. The first one was so good that all you to say about Bestiary 2 was “May contain pages”. But this tease makes me want it now now now.
I want to pre order the book, but ill be in the uk until mid october, after that its back to soutb america. Do you think it will be published before I love the uk?
I’ll be in the UK until mid october and there its back to south america for me. Do you think I would get it before that?
Two questions:
1) Will it be available at GENCON?
2) Can I buy the PDF new and pick my (print) copy there?
“buy the PDF now”
Thanks for asking! We’re hoping to have pickups at Gen Con, barring any unforeseen printing or shipping issues. We’ll confirm if we can in the next See Page XX.
Thank you for the reply, but if I wait for the next See Page XX I’ll lose the pre-order special offer (plain text version, SnowCub Ally etc), won’t I?
That’s true! If you’re set on the perks, pre-order now, and email us at support@pelgranepress.zendesk.com as soon as you know your new address. We’ll work it out!
Regarding the Thagomizer: well done. Well done, indeed.
What is the estimate on shipping for this?
When should I expect to find the print crammed in my mailbox?
On another note, awesome job!
Shipping will depend on location – if you send an email to support@pelgranepress.zendesk.com with your address we an estimate it for you! -Alex
What is the release date of this?
If I pre-order will I get the PDF right away?
You mentioned perks for pre-ordering, what are they? (Just the free PDF?)
Thanks! I’m very interested in getting this, since Beastiary was so good.
Release date is still TBA! We promise to keep you all informed :) The “perk” referred to in previous comments was a limited-edition print offered to early bird pre-orderers. The window for that has closed unfortunately, but yes, you will absolutely still get the PDF the moment it’s ready! If you have any further questions feel free to email support@pelgranepress.zendesk.com.
Do you think pick up at Gen Con will be a possibility?
That is what we’re aiming for, yes! Please email support@pelgranepress.zendesk.com if you want to pick yours up there.
If you’re aiming for Gen Con (August 17-20, 2017) pickup, does that mean that the pdf version is going to be released at around the same time?
Howdy!
Given that GenCon is now over – has it been released, yet?
Did anyone pick it up at GenCon?
Are the any reviews (or at least first impressions)?
Hi! You can order it from our webs store, and it should be available in your friendly local game store as of today! Lots of folks picked it up at Gen Con, and we haven’t seen reviews yet but we’re certainly keeping our eyes open!
Will you be releasing this book on DriveThruRPG as well? And if so, when?
We will have the PDF on DriveThruRPG – we usually release PDF-only versions of our books approximately three months after the physical book’s release.
Do you have any update for those of us who pre-ordered? Mine still hasn’t shipped yet.
Pre-orders are shipped in a different way than regular orders, so they are not updated the same way on your Bookshelf. If you have a question about your order, please email support@pelgranepress.zendesk.com with your address and order number.
I’ll try emailing again, I sent one a few days ago but hadn’t heard back yet.
Ah, excellent! I’ll keep my eyes peeled :)
Do you have an update on the DriveThruRPG release date? You said that you release PDF only versions about three months after physical book. In about two weeks it has been 3 months since Gen Con (August 17-20, 2017). So is that the rough estimate for release window?
Thanks for the question. This is now available on DriveThruRPG.
Stuffed with material I’d already paid for – stuff from the adventurers and 13th age subscription are used in this book as filler. Really disappointed. It’s a good book, but definitely a step down from Bestiary and core rulebook.
