A Skittermander (small, bipedal humanoid with four arms and a tail) with green fur. He's decked out primarily in brown, with battered armor on his torso, an ammo bandolier, and holsters and pouches on his belt and strapped to his legs. There's a large pauldron on his left shoulder, and three of his hands carry a grenade, a combat knife, and a futuristic gun. An underlayer of armor is a dull red, and goes all the way to his chin, giving the overall outfit a sort of barrel shape. There's a brown beret atop his head--if his armor is a barrel, the hat is its lid. In between, his green, furry face bears a pair of brown scars, and a grim but determined expression. Overall mood: Oscar the Grouch sprouted arms and legs from his trash can and decided it was time to get dangerous.

#GalacticAncestries has incredible art, with character designs rivaling those in Pathfinder's NPC Codex. Here's a Grumpy Skittermander, aka the "I've seen some shit-ermander". Pretty sure the resemblance to Oscar the Grouch is... less than entirely coincidental.

The Spongebob "Salty Spitoon" meme, altered similarly to the reposted post. The larger fish is again labeled "STARFINDER" in all four panels, in light blue text with a lavender border. His dialogue is again in yellow with red borders, the other fish's standard white inside black. 
First panel dialogue: (big fish, looking tough) "We have stats for the fungus from The Last Of Us"
Second panel: (smaller fish, challenging him) "Yeah, so?"
Third panel: (big fish, zoomed in, looking super tough) "...As a PLAYABLE ANCESTRY!"
Final panel: (smaller fish, looking scared) "Right this way, please!"

Hardcover copies of Pathfinder’s “Hellfire Dispatches” and Starfinder’s “Galactic Ancestries” books, side-by-side.
The former cover depicts a battle on the wall of a keep, with blue-clad Andoran soldiers scaling ladders, while devilish Chelaxian troops atop the wall fire flaming arrows and deploy nasty-looking defensive countermeasures. Two such devices, a square push-plate on a pole with a spike-studded underside and an equally-spiky cylinder on ropes are the main focus of the picture. Both feature ornate embellishments that belie the gruesome purpose to which they are being deployed.
The Galactic Ancestries cover features a quartet of alien species featured in the book as they burst through a door within a starship. In the front is a classic goblin, their long ears squeezed up in the fishbowl-style, band-aid-patched helmet they wear. Their rust-colored armor and massive gun (aimed outward towards the reader), have a scavenged, ‘Mad Max in space’ aesthetic. Behind them is a Kasatha, a four-armed, gray-skinned being with red eyes and an elongated head. They wear a red jumpsuit and a mask, and heft a laser rifle in their top pair of arms, aiming off to the right of the page. To their left is an izalguun, a centaur-shaped green creature with a head like a hammerhead shark. They wear gray partial armor, and wield a polearm with a glowing yellow tip; a golden mote circles their head. Finally, in front of them (and left of the goblin), is a bantrid, looking like a blue stalagmite with stubby “wings”. They wear robes with glowing green traceries; the “trackball” the species uses for locomotion is just visible below. They have a staff with a crystal tip across their back, and glow with a blue-green aura. Whatever’s waiting for the group in this corridor, it’s gonna get messy.

Release-day PDFs are wonderful… but there’s still something to be said for having gorgeous physical tomes like these in-hand.
(Both covers by the amazing Mirco Paganessi)

Okay, I need to close my laptop NOW or I WILL be up all night reading about and sharing tidbits from the Andoran/Cheliax front (and/or the cantinas of Desna's Arm, but I'd already seen that; subscriber pdfs for #GalacticAncestries hit a couple days ago). #Paizo
