Hey there, goblins! 👽 We're diving into the new Starfinder Monster Core, and this book is a "kitchen sink" of sci-fi goodness. It's packed with aliens, kaiju, space whales, and... Cthulhu-birthing cults? This is our first-reaction, top-ten list of the weirdest and coolest creatures in the new book.

BIG NEWS! EriK is now a professional GM! Check out our new $30 Patreon tier to join a monthly TTRPG one-shot run by EriK on Foundry.

Before the deep dive, we cover "What We Played." Erik ran a Disney-themed Peter Pan one-shot where the pets were the heroes (and Captain Hook's mother was the villain). Robert is speed-running Blood Lords and has discovered the secret power of the Dog Slicer.


Then, we give our top picks from Monster Core. We cover:


The Omen: Giant space whales you can live inside (hello, Treasure Planet!).




Space Nymphs: A brilliant replacement for "sci-fi bugs," these are fey spirits for asteroids, black holes, and dwarf stars.




The Akashic Dragon: An occult dragon connected to a dimension of all knowledge and experience.



The Kaiocore: How to run a Godzilla-sized monster as a series of high-level hazards, not a stat block.



The Midwives: A 13-member cult that helped birth a Cthulhu-like being from a planet.



Paradox 17: A monster that is literally the concept of simulation theory... and Paizo gave it a 22nd-level stat block.



The Babylon 5 Pick: Erik's #1 choice for a collection of monsters to replicate the show's factions.

Is this book a must-buy? Let's find out.
