PF2e to PF1e Conversion: Formian Mageslayer
Here is my latest conversion, and my last formian as far as I can see. The mageslayer is a particularly powerful and unusual formian caste, which appeared towards the end of the 2e Adventure Path Strength of Thousands. In the Paizo-verse, mageslayers were created by the King of Biting Ants, the main villain of that series. But I haven't included that part of the lore in my stats, so you can decide for yourself where the mageslayer comes from.
Enjoy!

FORMIAN, MAGESLAYER

This creature looks like a gigantic centaurian ant with an elongated body and delicate dragonfly wings. Its mandibles are wickedly curved, and its clawed arms glow with scarlet energy.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Acid Spit (Ex) A formian mageslayer can shoot a blast of acid as a ranged touch attack with no range increment. This attack inflicts 8d6 points of acid damage on a successful hit. Additionally, creatures damaged by a mageslayer's acid spit continue to take the same amount of acid damage for the next 1d3 rounds unless the acid is neutralized in some way.
Deadly Bite (Ex) A formian mageslayer's mandibles are particularly sharp, and threaten a critical on a natural roll of 19-20.
Disrupting Aura (Su) Formian mageslayers are surrounded by an aura of disruptive energy that disperses magical energy and makes spellcasting difficult for their enemies. Every time an enemy within the aura attempts to cast a spell or activate a magic item that is not use activated, the mageslayer makes an automatic attempt to counterspell it, as if it was casting a dispel magic spell (caster level 16th). If the mageslayer succeeds in this attempt, the spell or activation is lost, and the mageslayer gains a number of temporary hit points equal to twice the spell level for 1 minute. Free action activations disrupted by this aura may not be attempted again until the start of the activating creature's next turn.
Ether-Ripping Claws (Ex) A formian mageslayer's claw attack is considered as having the ghost touch weapon special ability for the purpose of attacking incorporeal creatures.
Poison (Ex) Sting - injury; save Fort 27; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d4 Dex; cure 2 consecutive saves
Shred Spell (Su) A creature damaged by a formian mageslayer's bite attack is affected as though targeted by a greater dispel magic spell.
Stupefying Touch (Su) A creature damaged by a formian mageslayer's claw attack must succeed at a Will save (DC 25) or take 1d6 point of Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma damage, of the mageslayer's choice. On a critical hit, the ability damage becomes ability drain instead.
--------------
Formian mageslayers are outliers of sorts in formian hives. That is because mageslayers are not a result of a natural evolution - they have been artificially engineered, forced into existence by the machinations of third parties in order to be ruthless exterminators of spellcasters. Mageslayers certainly show behaviors that demonstrate single-mindedness, and often fixate on eliminating arcanists at the expense of everything else. When not in conflict with spellcasters, mageslayers are aloof and surly, and are usually seen tirelessly standing guard over the hive. A mageslayer's artificial body structure makes it so that the creature does not need sleep to function, making them ideal sentinels - tireless, ruthless and incorruptible. However, this body conformation also leaves the mageslayer in constant discomfort at best, and in outright pain at worst. A mageslayer only finds temporary relief when it tears an enemy spellcaster apart.
Mageslayers radiate an aura of disruptive energy that makes it difficult for enemies to cast spells. Their claws are imbued with magical power, allowing it to easily cut through ethereal and incorporeal foes, and they are capable of stripping enemies of valuable magical enhancement with their preternaturally strong mandibles. Even the occasional enemy that manages to escape a mageslayer's disruptive aura will be targeted with blasts of searing acid, which the creature shoots with impunity. Mageslayers are relentless foes, always fighting to the death unless ordered to retreat by a myrmarch or by the queen.
Mageslayers occupy an odd position in formian hierarchy. While they are more powerful than observers and myrmarchs, they are still subservient to them. Observers particularly enjoy fighting alongside a mageslayer, who provides much needed muscle to the observer's weak offensive. Mageslayers, for their part, are just as loyal to the queen and the hive as any other formian, and see no contradiction in their subservient position.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Tombstone Lily
Large plants with a greyish, woody trunk topped by a milky white flower, the tombstone lily's most stunning feature other than its size is the translucent, faintly luminescent pods that grow beneath the flower. These pods are not fruit- in fact, they are the equivalent of stomachs, as the tombstone lily does not feed on water and sun.
Tombstone lilies are unique among the Ethereal Plane's fauna in that they are actively dangerous to the plane's other main inhabitants, souls in transit to their final destinations. They lure, trap, and consume these ethereal remains of the living, and slowly digest them over time for their energy.
Once a tombstone lily has consumed seven souls of suitable nutritional energy, they go to seed- forming a seed crown similar to a dandelion, with seeds that disperse on the misty currents of the Ethereal mist. Cultivating these flowers on other planes than their natural environment proves difficult for most gardeners, given their nutritional requirements; however, they can survive tolerably on the soul-infused water of the rivers Styx or Oceanus, and a constant access to either is sufficient for cultivation elsewhere.
Tombstone lilies are intelligent, and use telepathy to converse with passers-by as they digest their pods' contents. They are very aware of the ethereal conditions nearby, and can direct travelers to areas of interest if prompted. They can, however, subsist on the living, and it is dangerous to approach them if their pods are not full.
Thought I'd forget the giant tentacruel, didn't you? :D...wait, a lot of you won't remember that, it was removed from rotation after 9/11, 2001. Season 1 episode 19 featured a chemically altered tentacruel taking revenge on a background character for trying to destroy its reef to build a theme park. It was taken out of rotation in the US, not because of her shooting it with 2 uzi and an RPG, but because it destroys 2 towers...despite the intro staying the same. Better fate than its BANNED sibling episode, where said background character's sister holds a swimsuit competition and James continues to prove his unparalleled ability as a makeup artist. Seriously, the blending on the edges of his prosthetic chest must be godlike to hold up under that scrutiny, I'd kill for half that skill... *AHEM* UM, ANYWAY, giant jellyfish squid! Tentacool is weak to piercing because it's 99% liquid, 1% thin membrane around this poisonous water balloon. That's why there are so many I assume, few survive long enough to grow that thick mantle plate and become an ambush hunter. Tentacool are more of an environmental hazard, flowing with the currents and just attacking things that draw near. Tentacruel are active hunters that rely on ambushes among rocks and reefs due to thier relatively slow swim speed. The Titancruel is a sentient deep-sea guardian created in an alchemical attempt to kill it, basically a miniature kraken. It just wants to be left alone, and if that means bloody retaliation it won't hesitate. Anyway, enough rambling, here's the encounter ideas. - Kuo-toa have been harrassing fishing ships and trading vessels, but following them to their lair has been made difficult. They've taken to honoring thier self-made jellyfish god by leashing tentacool to rocks, forming mazes of poisonous landmines. Bonus points if their belief actually managed to make a titancruel. - A druidic circle's attempt to preserve nature worked too well, a bloom of tentacool has become a swarm of tentacruel. This is terrible news, as they have started to voraciously hunt down all wildlife and overwhelm the usual predators. The circle have placed a temporary bounty on them before the reef is destroyed. - A cult to the Kraken has formed near the abyssal domain of a Titancruel. In an attempt to destroy what they believe to be a mockery of the kraken, they plan to blow up a portion of the reef then sail to the closest large city, making it think they were from that port. Either the city kills the mockery or their deaths create a large enough sacrifice to summon an actual kraken. This is going to get bloody unless they're stopped.

Rawhead Ogre
Few things are as horrifying as the Rawhead Ogre. A hulking, snarling brute with huge fangs and wild red eyes, the Rawhead Ogre is a throwback of a bygone era, a near extinct predator of a darker, more cruel age.
In the early days, before the blood war, when fiends made war against the Gods, they created numerous hideous mortal creatures to serve them. One of these creatures was the Rawhead Ogre, who served as relentless berserker fighters who would destroy all in their path. Thankfully, most of the Rawhead Ogres were destroyed by the forces of Good in those days, with only a scant few surviving, usually trapped dormant in tombs or cairns, waiting to be unleashed upon a hapless world.
Rawhead Ogre's are toxic masculinity personified. They are bellowing mad brutes who do not rest or relent, spending their every waking moment maiming and killing anything that comes across. Occasionally they will also subjugate victims, turning them into their thralls through sheer force of will, although they only do this to toy with their new thrall a bit before killing them anyway. Rawhead Ogres are extremely cruel and sadistic, and love to terrorize and kill those weaker than themselves; their favorite food being children. Rawhead's also despise the Gods, especially gods of goodness, justice and peace, and they will never pass up an opportunity to desecrate a temple to such a deity if they can.
Because they personify the most destructive aspects of masculinity, they have a particular fear of female deities, and one brandishing a holy symbol of a female deity, in particular one connected to fertility, can potentially destroy a Rawhead Ogre for good. So they will often direct their thralls to destroy such holy icons or keep tabs on the status on such items.
Unlike Stone Eye Cyclops, Rawhead Ogres rarely become leaders of normal tribes of Ogres or other creatures; they are strictly solitary monsters, preferring to maim and kill anything they come across rather than cooperate with others.
