Ah. That is good.
Maybe, combine with Roll With It?
Is a Unarmed Fighter or Master of Many Style dip the best for Monkey Style?
A two level dip in Master of Many Styles (or one level each of Unarmed Fighter and MoMS in that order) would give you Monkey Style and Moves without having to bother racking up the skill ranks.

I don't think you can get around the staggered condition without being a paladin with the staggered mercy, and that is your standard action anyway so it is kind of unhelpful. Or levels in merciful healer, still a moot point. Roll With It is still a great feat, but you have to eat the 1 round of no productive action.
What you are looking for is, sadly, only available in D&D 3.5, not in PF.
Oh my gods. Goblin with Monkey Style and Roll With It, drop prone as free and delay, let your big dumb friend with a club hit you, and you've just been golfed into position so you can hit all your foes from beneath. That is just too great.
Maybe also grab the Kobold Style feat line and just screw with you foes. Crawl up to them, Stun them, get in their space, dirty trick or feint to make them lose Dexterity, trip them, mount them, laugh the day away.

I think you're looking for this:
Belt of the Weasel
This surprisingly soft belt has an absurdly large buckle, made even more absurd by the fact that it’s crafted in the shape of a smiling weasel’s face.
It grants its wearer a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, and the ability to move at half normal speed while prone. Treat the enhancement bonus to Dexterity as a temporary ability bonus for the first 24 hours the belt is worn. The wearer does not take a penalty on melee attack rolls or to AC against melee attacks while prone. Additionally, the wearer gains the compression ability.

Oh Really? Because the feat Monkey Style allows you to do the EXACT SAME THING. Look on this page for Monkey Style. Monkey Style also gives you more. It just has too many prerequisites.

What about Human, or Scion of Humanity Garuda-Blooded Aasimar?
Both would allow the Racial Heritage(Goblin) feat to nab Roll With It.
If I can find a way around the Staggered condition, it would seem worth it.
10th level Mammoth Rider is immune to Staggered with a slew of other conditions, but it's a long time to wait and doesn't really mesh with being prone at all.
Edit: 19th level unarmed fighter is also immune to staggered. It fits the theme better but is an even longer wait.

Monkey Style is a must to have this work, yes.
I wonder if combining MoMS with Cleric or Inquisitor, to nab the Restoration Subdomain will make the combination with Roll With It worth it, as I could quickly remove the Staggered condition.
If I choose Irori, I could nab the Wisdom in the Flesh trait, choose Acrobatics, and with Monkey Style, have x2 Wisdom to Acrobatics.
Oh Really? Because the feat Monkey Style allows you to do the EXACT SAME THING. Look on this page for Monkey Style. Monkey Style also gives you more. It just has too many prerequisites.
Prone Attack: No penalties to attack and AC while prone. Can stand as a free action after hitting someone w/o AoO.
Monkey Style: No penalties to attack and AC while prone. Can crawl and stand from prone w/o AoO and can do so as a swift if you make Acrobatics check. Get Wis bonus to Acrobatics.
Not quite the same. Swift actions are valuable (especially since Prone Attack is constant and Monkey Style takes a swift just to activate), Prone Attack has no chance of failure, and crawling is still worthless even with Monkey Style. It is more similar than I recalled, though. I don't think the latter really gives you "more" so much. In quantity of things, sure. But I'd much rather have the former. Monkey Style also has an opportunity cost of the number of styles you can be in at a time - one for most, more for MoMS. So it means you give up using some other style feat you may or may not have wanted.

Is there need for more than Monkey Style/Monkey Moves?
Also, does Fast Crawl stack with Monkey Moves?

What's the compression ability?

If you take enough levels in Master of Many Styles, you could take Ki Stand on This page. It could help with standing up to move. This does use swift actions, though.
Basically, if you are a Goblin wearing that belt you can squeeze yourself through any opening, just about...
how about you just build a gunslinger and take the prone shooter feat. Throw in a level of monk or so if you like and get Ki stand.
end up with a crazy AC vs ranged attacks, and the ability to quickly disengage and reposition yourself if the enemy gets to melee.
