Still here? Did you know there's an art-free PDF of PARIAH available for free download on itch.io? No? Well here's the link:
Pariah came with stats for only 3 monsters. There probably should have been more, but then again Tales of the Grotesque & Dungeonesque has some excellent advice:
When in Doubt, Just Use Bears – So, the characters go somewhere you haven't yet prepared and you describe some cool, weird-ass monster that you don't actually have stats for: "At the bottom of the Bone Pit of the Succulent Orb a vast form rises from the sinkhole; its reptilian body glistens with antediluvian slime and its pteroid jaw opens, revealing rows of serrated fangs in what appears to be a most unholy welcome." In situations likes these, I just use the stats for a bear and no one is the wiser. Re-skin appearance, methods of attack, and add special abilities on the fly if you absolutely must...but when in doubt, just use bears.

In case that wasn't sufficient instruction, here's the 4 bears that came with the original B/X re-statted for PARIAH to help you get started. This isn't any discourse, nor is it a discussion of north European Palaeolithic bear cults... I'm just providing you with the bare-bones of some monsters to put into your campaign!
