Pathfinder’s ‘Howl of the Wild’ Proves You Can’t Spell Adventure Without Nature
Pathfinder’s latest release, Howl of the Wild, wants you to get in touch with your primal side. Especially if that means playing a badger.
Pathfinder 2E gets another big new splatbook, Howl of the Wild. As the name suggests, the book is all about those who love nature and all its wild wonder. But it is especially aimed at those who want to play something a little less humanoid.
There’s a space of new ancestries to pick from, including ‘taurs of both Cen- and Mino- varieties. But there’s also a bunch of exciting new stuff. Including the option to play a Merfolk or a Fish Person, because they can coexist. Or there’s my personal favorite option, the Awakened Animal.
All of this, and more awaits you within Howl of the Wild. Get ready to dive deep into the more natural side of Pathfinder.
Pathfinder Howl of the Wild
The book is now available in both hardcopy and digital pdf formats, whatever you prefer. So just snag the format most convenient for you.

- A menagerie of Golarion’s animals and beasts for GMs to unleash on players, covering animals like dinosaurs and sharks, expansions on classic monsters like chimeras and griffons, and never-before-seen creatures like the transparent sky fisher, the potion-brewing apothecary bee, and the extradimensional rift chameleon.
