Just wanted to say thanks for putting out such consistently good content. Your channel is part of what inspired me to start a channel of my own.
Rock on! I've been watching your channel too! That's amazing to hear. You're doing great stuff. 🤩
Oh hey it's the cleric, cool.
Thats so awesome. I have been enjoying your content so much as well
Wake up babe, new Mythkeeper video just dropped 🤩
Marcus Endrin did not die in Curse of the Crimson Throne, the party rescues him from Longrace Dungeon.
Hah! Oops! Well, not in my game 😅😅😅
@@TheMythKeeper OMG how awful, shame shame, I am not mad just disapointed. Lol, I am just pulling your leg. I love all of the video you have put out, keep up the good work.
Wow, not only is this a very informative video on the creatures of Golarion, but a detailed account of the historical mythology that inspired them. Well done. I can't wait for next weeks video, a regional deep dive if I'm not mistaken.
Glad you enjoyed it! And I see you’ve solved my complicated release pattern too!
@@TheMythKeeper Thank you, it was a puzzle worthy of a Sphinx. 🤣
@@rune5916 🤣🤣🤣
Question, dear mythkeeper, are you planning on making a video of the soon changes to the pathfinder pantheon? Like they said a god will die soon and shake a lot of things up, and you are the best source for pathfinder lore in video format in my opinion, so is really look forward to it
Of course! As soon as more lore updates come out from Remaster I'll cover that on the channel
My mood get instantly better when I see a new video from you drop!
Thank you for the kind words
Love your videos Mr. Mythkeeper, thanks for all you do.
Very welcome!
An interesting note on manticores is that their lawful evil and (relatively) intelligent. So while most are probably just brutes in the wilds, theres no reason not to have one in a more cosmopolitan area.
My personal favorite use in my own homebrew was as mounts for hellknight signifiers, while the manticores themselves also became hellknights. Muscle and magic wrapped in black armoured flying tanks.
I hope one day we get a full video on sphinxes. Ive always thought that their mating deciding their species was a fascinating idea. Even if paizo has yet to give an exact reasons that the cynosphinx and gypsosphinx exist.
Here's how you know set a UA-camr is really good at what they do. They can take something that's purely informational and make it feel like it's not long enough if we hit the end of the video and I was like that's it 40 minutes fast and it felt like nothing and I just want more as always thank you for the great video
Overwhelming praise! Thank you so much
@@TheMythKeeper only the truth good sir only the truth. You got me like amped up so that whenever my ADHD happens to align with my wanting to do tabletop RPG stuff that like I really got something I want to do but right now I'm currently stuck on my brain wanting to play Nothing But Minecraft so you know I'll be back someday until then I have a backlog of videos to watch
Another great and insightful video. The lore on Pathfinder is so interesting to me snd you make it so easy for me to digest
🥳
More Pathfinder is always good 🤘
Your excellence is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
No, thank you!
I've had games where Chimares had many different kind of heads, like any kind of great cat, barnyard animal, or lizard, dinosaurs or dragon. Same with the body, wings etc. Even some with each head having its own mind.
Can't watch this yet but just wanted to comment "Fuck yes, a new video"
Fuck yes, a new comment! 😂
The algorithm requires engagement.
The gods of the algorithm appreciate your tribute
I love the creature features!
👹!
Great videos always it's so great to see the growth to see so many views an hour after posting is amazing
Yeah its great to see
the research that went into this video is really inspiring. thank you for the hard work!
Thank you so much!
Sphinxes are my favorite
I'm so grateful for your videos.
Thank you so much!
In what video did you talk about Cyclops in general.
ua-cam.com/video/lYgDzqNkXq4/v-deo.html
Although honestly, for a much better discussion about the history of the Cyclops watch my Western Mwangi Expanse and my Sodden Lands videos. Sorry it ended up so scattered across my vids.
And in my Northeast Avistan video too for the Koloran Cyclops! 😂😂😂
I found your channel a little while ago and it's fantastic!
Have you had a chance to do a video on Treerazer? I'd like to use him as a BBEG.
Not directly. I've referenced him in the Demons video and in my Elves video but I haven't done a Kyonin Region guide yet, which is the best place to go in deeper on that character.
Great video! Perfect for passing the time at work. Thanks!
Great information, iwas waiting for a PCF for long time, you never disapointme @MythKeeper
Thank you as always for the kind words!
Man, I would be ANGRY if an invading nation (like Cheliax) introduced chimeras to my local ecosystem. If you stated how large they are I missed it, but it looks like they're several hundred pounds of apex predator with all the intellectual charm of a particularly dumb, hateful, and vengeful humanoid. My guess is the Chelaxians use them as shock troops because no one misses them when they die.
Griffons, on the other hand, rock. All my homies love Griffons. Phoenixes, being basically giant, super-intelligent avian dinosaurs that burst into cleansing flame and self-resurrect are pretty cool too I guess :P
Yeah bringing Chimeras to southern Garund seems like a pretty uncool thing to do. They also built a zoo in the Shackles at one point full of all kinds of beasties that got loose. Not great...
Creature Features are always fun, and this featured some of my favorite legendary creatures. I hope you’ll do another one of these grab bags of creatures in the future (hopefully hitting the Kirin, another favorite of mine).
Oh heck yes! As a lover of both real world mythology and Pathfinder, this hits so many buttons for me!
Thank you for this.
Unrelated topic: I will be collecting the AP Return of the Runelords shortly and would appreciate any (spoiler free) tips on running it.
Have you played through Rise & Shattered Star before?
@@TheMythKeeper Rise yes, Shattered no. I also don’t own Shattered, yet.
@@OldGreyGryphon So first thing I would do is just read through all of Return so you know where it's going. Then see if you can get your hands on a copy of Shattered and read through it so you know what was meant to have happened there and see if you'd like to adjust anything. Ideally in Return, the players feel like are learning all about all the Runelords that have come before, and that they start to feel like characters (albeit distant ones) whose politics are still affecting the world today. This should be really fun, if you plan on skipping Shattered Star. :-)
@@TheMythKeeper Thank you very much.
Given your advice, I will delay Return until I can lay hands on Shattered. I would prefer to run the AP’s in their proper order and if that means delaying Return, so be it.
My wife got me Serpent’s Skull for Christmas last year, so we’ll run that in the meantime.
Many thanks!
@@OldGreyGryphon Serpent's Skull is awesome. Watch my Vidrian deep dive video if you haven't yet. For that one you may want to re-work slightly who the good guys and bad guys are in the first portion of the AP as some of it reads a little dated, but otherwise you'll have a grand time.
I know Paizo said they were going to stop using the Owlbear because of all the OGL/WotC conflict, but I don’t see why most of this monsters can’t just have an owl’s head and basically be the same thing.
I suspect that if you give Remaster enough time, some kind of owl-headed beast with a different name will rear its beaky head in our futures
5:19 well that's still better than some players.
🤣🤣🤣
Always great time when your videos drop
30 second response time to me dropping a video is incredible! Thanks for this!
@@TheMythKeeper you always put out great content. Me and my friend are always sending them to eachother for game
Wow a lot of writers definitely thought these mating rituals all the way through, almost to an extent that begs uncomfortable questions I will just choose not to address for my own benefit here
I've recently heard a theory that the manticore myth in our world may have come from exaggerated accounts of man-eating Indian tiger attacking trade caravans. Tigers can mimic sounds, are huge but hard to see, and are extremely dangerous to humans. There's even some research showing they may be able to temporarily stun deer and other animals using infrasound. So yeah there's a lot there to potentially lend some credibility to the idea.
That's really cool, thanks for sharing.
Positive comment
👏👏👏👏
I assume you stuck to the more well known ones for time constraints, but it would've been cool to see you cover some lesser known ones too imo. Some interesting ones I can think of off the top of my head are the kirin and the nue (the latter thankfully only exists in first edition and is quite nasty)
Absolutely, I do plan on doing more of these creature features.
One idea thats somewhat related to this video but also not completely is maybe a video that talks about various domestic or trainable creatures used by various cultures for mounts or labor or similar roles
Now that is an awesome idea! Pets of Pathfinder!
@@TheMythKeeper maybe split into multiple parts
One is pets like cats and dogs or ones used for familiars etc
another is more work animal related like mounts like i know some cultures or individuals often use monsters for mounts or use them in specific areas that horses might not be as good in or similar
part of my reasoning is currently working on a army for a character and trying to decide on monstrous mounts and such partly cause he is in a swampy area which horse Calvary wouldn't work well in those areas so monster mounts are possible solution still looking into possible options
@@dragonlord498 - Now you have me curious, which swampy area are they from?
@@TheMythKeeper homebrew world my DM created so not to relevant to main line pathfinder lore as well as has a fairly large amount of hybridization with dnd lore such as gods and such
@@dragonlord498 - In that case you pretty much have free reign. Hippo cavalry!
Has there been a lot of lore released on the other continents in Golarion? New to Pathfinder and hearing about the chimeras from Iblydos makes me want to learn more about Casmaron
I have a video coming up on Qadira and the Keleshite empire which talks a little more about Casmaron. I also plan to do a video on Iblydos on the future as well, and likely one on Vudra.
That’s great! Can’t wait
the hawk headed sphinxes seem fairly pointless if they dont want to talk and just attack everyone. just an angry gryphon with a hat
I agree. I think this is some legacy D&D stuff at play here. I'm just reporting on the game lore, but I think they could actually simplify sphinxes and just keep the human-headed varietals. My 2 cents anyway...
@@TheMythKeeper I mean the goat one amassing wealth that he will trade for a riddle tricky enough for him to find a girlfriend seems like an entire campaign seed where you have to seek out different kinds of fey, fiends and geenies and do them favours in exchange for especially fiendish riddles
@@dmeep 🤣🤣🤣
I need a quick bit of advice:
I'm preparing to run Kingmaker in the near future, and I thought to make my live a bit easier and let my Players play the Companions.
As in, I'd still play the Companions, but let my Players run them during encounters.
Would that be a bad idea?
No, its an excellent idea. The more you can do to offload work as a GM, the better. That means giving player characters control of NPCs, having a designated player call out the initiative order, and assign other tasks to help you out in the thick of things. More valuable to have smooth gameplay than to worry about whether a particular player at the gametable is meta-gaming their use of an NPC. My 2 cents ;-)
Horse eggs is an uncomfortable concept.
😆
A mammal laying eggs? Must be a Pokémon!

Marketing professional here, mainly in SEO and analytics. Some free advice for you, Mythkeeper: UA-cam (aka Google) hasn't figured out that Pathfinder = D&D. So, while your channel has far better content than the vast majority of D&D lore channels, you're not getting anywhere near as much attention as you should. You should try to fix this insofar as you can. How? Slip any of the following keywords into your video titles somewhere toward the end: D&D, DND, Dungeons & Dragons. Additionally, write a small block of text that goes in every video description for videos you post. This small block of text should describe how Pathfinder is a good alternative to D&D, but has a slightly different game system and a world that is very D&D adjacent.
Also, you will benefit from connecting with other youtube loremasters. You should open up the "Channels" tab and fill it with channels that you know that your user base will enjoy. This doesn't just have to be Pathfinder stuff, though that should probably come first. It should definitly include D&D lore channels. Linking to other channels isn't meant to be a one-way street, though. Those other channels need to reciprocate. This is where you enter the world of real actual marketing work: You need to reach out to each of the youtube loremasters you have linked to from your "Channels" tab, and ask that they link to your channel as well. Don't reach out just once; reach out once a week for a month. If at the end of that month they won't reciprocate your link, you remove thier link from your "Channels" tab. You may find yourself thinking that exposing your viewers to other channels may make you lose viewers, but this is almost never the case. The vast majority of the time, both channels will benefit.
Here's an off the top of my head list of youtube loremaster channels you should connect with: Pathfinder: The Tower of Tomes, The Lore Tour. D&D: Jorphdan, AJ Pickett, Riches and Liches, Esper The Bard
Note: I see #D&D in your hashtags, but hashtags are largely ignored on youtube.
Hey thanks so much for this advice. I appreciate it. I'll definitely do the channels things and the D&D tag thing in video descriptions.
@@TheMythKeeper You're welcome. The video title is by far the most important place to put a DnD keyword. Also, if you can edit your already posted video's titles to add a keyword, you should.
Have you done lamia yet? Running rotrl and wanted more info on them.
No not yet! Definitely need to do a video on 'tauric' creatures (is that a word?)
hmnn makes me want to do ome monster hunting. but no cerberuses ot is it cerberi?
In the next one maybe ;-)
First. Lol
🥳
I hereby sacrifice this comment to the algorithm 🔪🐓
