This is a neat class created by oslecamo over on Min/Max Boards: https://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=1612.0
With the feats and related material from
https://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=526.0

Below is all of the material from that subforum related to or usable by the Hagunemnon (with some tiny edits to increase formatting consistency without changing any content other than some spelling corrections, mostly its vs it's).  Remember, if you want to play an ever-changing blob of everything, the Hagunemnon is still disturbing!

Alter Shape: The Hagunemnon is the ultimate shapeshifter, its body a constant flux of possibility, not limiting itself to copying a single creature, but rather combining aspects from difrerent ones.

At 3rd level of this class, and every 2 levels thereafter, it can pick Shapes of the next level, up to 9th level Shapes at 17th level.

If you multiclass  into a casting class, you can choose to count the levels from this class for purposes of CL and learning new spells and gaining new spell slots. Hagunemnon levels don't count for any other class ability.

So for example an Hagunemnon 6/Wizard 1  could choose to gain one 4th level spell slot and one 1st level spell slot instead of one 1st level spell slots and three zero level slots, receiving 2 spell knowns up to 4th level instead of 2+Int modifier 1st level spells and all cantrips known.

Evolve: The Hagunemnon gains +1 to one of it's Physical Ability Score of it's choice for every level on this monster class. At the beginning of his turn, he may re-distribute this bonus among his stats as he sees fit.

Unstability: The Hagunemnon's biggest strength is also his biggest weakness, as his body refuses to stay too long on a single form.

The Hagunemnon can only have 2+1/2 HD shapes at any time (can't pick same Shape more than once), being able to change which ones he has active as a standard action, and at the beginning of every turn he has to change at least half his shapes for other ones as a free action, unless he spends a move action keeping himself stable. The Hagunemnon may change less than half his shapes if he used the move action to keep himself stable. Due to this, the Hagunemnon never gains a bonus to Disguise checks for his basic Alter Shape ability, as his body is constantly changing.

The exception it's when an Hagunemnon doesn't have enough extra shapes to swap due to having multiclassed. Straying from it's natural path helps it to learn stabilization.

Hagunemnon SLAs: At the following levels, the Hagunemnon can use the following SLAs a certain number of times per day. Save DCs are 10+1/2 HD+Cha mod.

2nd level- Detect Thoughts, Knock 1/day per HD each.

4th level- Sugestion, Nondetection 1/day per 2 HD each.

6th level- Dimension Door 1/day per 3 HD.

10th level-Plane Shift 1/day per 6 HD.

12th level-Ethereal Jaunt 1/day per 7 HD.


Lesser Unstability: At 8th level, the Hagunemnon may keep stability of his body as a swift action instead of move action, a total number of rounds per hour equal to his Cha mod, divided as the Hagunemnon chooses.

Fast Healing: At 10th level the Hagunemnon  gains fast healing equal to half it's HD.

Reactive Unstability: At 14th level, the Hagunemnon may swap one of it's shapes for another one as an immediate action.

Regeneration: at 16th level the Hagunemnon's Fast Healing upgrades to Regeneration with the same amount. It's bypassed by an element of the Hagunemnon's choice between Acid, Fire, Cold and electricity, and can be changed every 24 hours, but if the Hagunemnon  becomes immune to the chosen element, the regeneration reverts back to Fast Healing.

Minor Unstability: At 16th level, the Hagunemnon may use Lesser Unstability as a free action.

Destabilize Form: At 18th level, if an Hagunemnon hits with two or more natural attacks in the same round, it partly destabilizes its foe’s physical form, dealing an additional 4d6+1,5 Str mod points of damage as well as 2 points of temporary Constitution damage. This affects even creatures immune to Con damage. Creatures without Con take Cha damage instead. If the If the victim is drained to 0 Constitution, its dead body is only so much clear fluid that drains away unless somehow preserved by friends of the victim.

Instant Evolution: At 19th level, 1/hour the Hagunemnon may change a number of Shapes equal to his Cha mod as an Immediate action.

Protean: At 20th level any DR the  Hagunemnon has can now only be bypassed by Epic weapons, its natural weapons count as Epic for bypassing DR, and it's own regeneration cannot be bypassed by opponents with less HD than the  Hagunemnon.

In addition 1/day it may change any number of its shapes as a free action at any time even if it isn't his turns.

Potential: At 21st level the  Hagunemnon can now use all of its SLAs at will. The HD limits for all (if any) of it's Replicate Shapes are now equal to its own HD.

Devastating Evolution: At 22nd level whenever the  Hagunemnon scores a sucessful critical hit with a natural weapon, it inflicts a Baleful Polymorph effect on the target, with save DC 10+1/2HD+Cha mod. This works even against opponents immune to Criticals and Polymorph effects, but they gain a +5 bonus on their saves.

Null Unstability: At 23th level the  Hagunemnon doesn't need to spend any action to keep it's shapes, and it's Fast Healing/Regeneration doubles.

Overwhelming Evolution: At 24th level every hit from the  Hagunemnon's natural weapons now inflicts a Baleful Polymorph effect if it so desires. Successful critical hits utterly destroy the target, body and soul without any change of recovery, unless they succeed on the save, even if they had a way out of polymorph.

Gift of Change: At 25th level the  Hagunemnon may bestow any of it's Shapes in a willing touched creature. The effect is permanent, but the  Hagunemnon cannot bestow more Shapes than it's Cha mod at any time. It can revogate bestowed Gifts  as a free action regardless of distance.

Blinding Evolution: At 26th level the  Hagunemnon can take an extra standard or move action during it's turn. He can also change its shapes as a free action once per round besides changing at the beginning of his turn.

Survival of the Fittest: At 27th level the  Hagunemnon may change all his shapes as a free action once per round even if it isn't his turn (this stacks with Blinding Evolution).

Pinnacle of Evolution: At 28th level the total bonus granted by Evolve is doubled.

Lord of Change: At 29th level the  Hagunemnon may use Gift of Change on a number of creatures equal to its HD, each one gaining a number of shapes equal to its Cha mod.


EDIT: Actually, I had the time to type it up properly!

Deceivingly Innocent Form[Monstruous]
"Oh, so cute... OH GODS SHE ATE JACK!"-random commoner


Prerequisites:
-Levels in a monster class.
-11+ Charisma.
-Must have consumed fresh flesh from an humanoid killed by yourself.

Benefit: As a fullround  action at will you can turn yourself into an almost humanoid form of medium size or small or back. The size you turn into, as well as minor details like hair and skin color, face, height and others must be decided when you gain this feat and cannot be changed afterwise, altough growing old, scars, make-up and other such factors may still change your Deceivingly Innocent form.

You also retain some of the characteristics of your normal monster form, be it animal ears or horns, wings at your back, unnatural body part colors or other such cosmetic effects. You can control those characteristics to some extent, like gaining fur or scaled skin if you had them before, but you cannot fully supress them. They're  enough that your original shape can still be discovered by a sucessfull knowledge check with as if you were in your normal monster form, but the DC is 10 higher. You also gain a +10 bonus on disguise checks to pass as an humanoid. Otherwise you can perfectly mix in the middle of humanoid communities whitout atracting (too much) unwanted atention just by your looks, as long as you remember to wear some apropriate clothes to the region of course.

Unlike alternate form and change shape, you retain your full abilities and stats besides your old size modifiers (your natural weapons still deal damage as if you were your previous size). Abilities demanding a certain body part adapt to your deceivingly innocent form, usually by instantly changing shape when needed and then back. So your fingers would extend itself and become razor-sharp if you had claws, your jaw could extend itself to monstruous size if you had a bite attack, and so on. You can also now perform fine manipulation and speak if you couldn't before. You retain any equiped items as long as both your forms had slots for them.

This is considered to be your normal shape as much as your monster shape. You don't change back into an anti-magic field nor does true seeing reveals your other form.

---

Savage (Trait)
You've grown on primitive lands or in isolation, and thus highly suspicious of fancy magic items. In return, you've learned how to fully unlock your potential.

Prerequisite: Levels in a monster class.

Benefit: You gain the following benefits.

-Two extra skill points per level.
-An enhancement bonus to two different ability scores of your choice equal to 1+1/3 your level.
-An enhcancement bonus to natural armor equal to 1+¼ your level.
-A resistance bonus to saves equal to 1/3 your level.
-An enhancement bonus to your weapons attack rolls and damage rolls equal to 1/4th your level. If you're at least 4th level, your weapons also count as magic whenever it would be benefical for them.
-8 hours of rest will fully heal your HP and remove any and all diseases/poison/ability damage/curse/ability drain you were suffering from. However you must eat ten times the usual amount of food for a creature your size before going to rest for this full restoration to happen, even if you wouldn't normally need to eat. This food can't have been produced by magic means.

If you're a PC or a named NPC that isn't somebody's cohort/minion, you also gain six Ancient Skills chosen from the list below. With each level up you can choose new abilities to fill those slots, or with one year of uninterrupted meditation.


If you're slain, your body wields high quality materials that can be harvested as essence for crafting magic items worth 90%  the average treasure for your level (or WBL if you're a PC or named NPC that isn't somebody's cohort/minion).

Loss: You don't know how to read and write unless you spend 2 skill points for that. You also don't know how to speak any widely known language unless you spend another 1 skill points to learn Common. You cannot benefit from magic items on your possession, nor mundane items worth  more than 10 GP besides non-magic non-masterwork weapons you're proficient with. Neither can you benefit from abilities that allow you to absorb a magic item's essence like the Tarrasque's Assimilation. You can still benefit from such items used by others, like riding in somebody else's airship, as long as you're not piloting it. You must still claim your fair share of the party's treasure, and spend 90% of it in exotic extravagant foods (which you can share with others, as long as they eat it on the spot). Or eat the treasure itself. It's full of important nutrients to keep you going! The remaining 10% may be spent as you see fit, although the item usage limitations remain.

If you're brought to life after your essence was harvested, you must consume treasure equal to the average treasure for your level (or WBL if you're a PC or named NPC that isn't somebody's cohort/minion) to regain your Savage bonus, until then you're too weakened to fully unleash your abilities. This recovery is gradually relative to the level of treasure/WBL you consume, so for example if you're a 10th level savage character and consume equivalent to a 5th level character's WBL, you would recover Savage bonus equivalent to a 5th level savage character.
