Hello all,
I know that the Succubus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/demon/succubus/) can grant a Profane Gift, and the Nemisis Devil's (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/devil/devil-nemesis/) Devil Mark can grant a spell-like, while the Mix Couatl (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/couatl/couatl-mix/) can grant a class skill.
Setting aside simple spellcasting (and things directly duplicated by spells), are there any other monsters that can grant folks Permanent (or Instant) bonuses?
List:
Succubus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/demon/succubus/): Profane Gift: +2 Profane to an ability score
Lilitu (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/demon/demon-lilitu/): Profane Pact (Su): +4 Profane to an ability score.
Nemisis Devil's (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/devil/devil-nemesis/): Devil Mark: A 1/day spell-like ability of 5th or lower from a domain.
Mix Couatl (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/couatl/couatl-mix/): Gift of Knowledge (Ex): Temporary ranks in a skill, permanently a class skill.
Nymph (https://aonprd.com/MonsterDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Nymph)(als Spirit of Adoration (https://aonprd.com/MonsterDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Spirit%20of%20Adorati on) and muse (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/fey/muse/)): Inspiration: +4 insight to all Will saving throws, Craft checks, and Perform checks; Bards +critter's Charisma to more bardic song/day.
Tear of Burning Flame (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/oozes/tear-of-burning-flame/): Symbiosis: Inhabits you, makes you ageless, no need for food or drink.
Leanan Sidhe (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/fey/leanan-sidhe/): Skill Blessing or Spell Blessing: A +4 Masterwork (unlosable) tool for Craft/Perform, or a pearl of power effect.
Spirit Oni (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/oni/oni-spirit-oni/): Mask Symbiosis (Ex): +2 Insight Perception (while worn)
Apply potentially useful templates:
Any Natural Lycanthrope (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/lycanthrope/) can make you an infected lycanthrope.
Vampirism (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/vampire/) is contagious, if you have enough HD (in animals too in Pathfinder, apparently. New meaning to "vampire bat" ... note: Has several flavors).
Note: Many of these have drawbacks, risks, costs, and such (examples: Succubus has telepathy with you, and can use Suggestion on you from any range, can end it to deal you Charisma drain, too; Devil Mark lets the devil hit you with 6d6 damage whenever he feels like it; Gift of Knowledge means you have to let the beast use an hour-long modify memory on you; Nymph has Status on you, and the Muse can teleport to you whenever; et cetera), and most of them can be ended at will by the giver. You're quite often literally making a deal with a demon/devil. Read them carefully!
