James Jacobs, creative director of Paizo, sez:

"We didn't have room for all the outer planes races in the Bestiary. We had room for five: the LG archons, the angels, the CG azatas (known as eladrins in 3.5 D&D; we can use ghaeles and their buddies but not the word eladrin), the LE devils, and the CE demons.

The LN inevitables, the CN proteans (since we can't use slaadi), the NG agathions (since we can't use the word guardinal, but this is where the leonal lives), and the NE daemons are not in the first Bestiary. They'll be along soon enough, along with a brand new race of neutral outsiders we aren't yet ready to talk about..."

Good to see that the inevitables weren't abandoned. I always liked them. It was also pointed out that there were OGL monsters in the Epic Level book that may be used at some point, which means mercanes, infernals, umbral blots, and even... glooms.

3.5 to Pathfinder Changes

Incorporeal (Ex) An incorporeal creature has no physical body. It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. It is immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it takes only half damage from a corporeal source. Although it is not a magical attack, holy water can affect incorporeal undead. Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage only have a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal creature. Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect an incorporeal creature normally. read more
