Why not? you can even have it without multiclassin.
Be a summoner. Invest in Eldritch heritage (arcane) for the familiar. Then take nature sould and Naturall ally for the animal companion, done.
Yup. Quite doable. Your GM MIGHT (just might) want to kill you though (because you basically have 3 & 1/2 characters now). So be careful how you do it.
But a half-elf summoner could do this quite well. Be a wild caller, go like this:
1 Nature soul, skill focus (K(whatever))
2
3 Eldritch heritage (arcane)
4
5 Animal Ally
6
7 Boon companion
8
9 Improved Familiar
Have a menagerie!
Would this be a viably buildable character or do the not-allowed evolutions restrict the Eidolon too much?

I have no clue. But the "wild caller" is renowned to be a combat monster, so maybe? I dunno, the best you could have would be a wolf, and eidolon & a familiar. Familiar helps for skills, the others smash.

It would be incredibly powerful 1-10. The AC falls off a little afterwards but remains relevant due to group buffing from the Summoner.
Don't forget to take Leadership so you can have a cohort too!
I was just thinking about that! Make it an evangelist cleric, so it can inspire courage & clericaly buff!
And then buy a tiger.
And then buy a tiger.
BUY AN ARMY OF TIGERS! But seriously, I'm going to build this guy later tonight. Then begins the planar binding!
You're basically the magical Beastmaster.

You know, I might go for a regular summoner & work along the lines of an insane harem-master. Basically a single guy traveling with what appears to be a gaggle of women...then half of them turn into monsters! Should be doable with liberal use of a hats of disguise.

Oh god. Please no, the visuals.

Just imagine, you're walking down the road, and that stocky young woman in front of you EXPLODES into a 12-ft eidolon. The grey-haired one morphs into a wolf. The sultry looking one shrinks into a mephit. And the single one who DIDNT transform starts singing and all the others start looking tougher... And the summoner laughs & laughs!

"Viable" in what context? I suspect you'll be effective in combat, but it'll take you five times as long to get through it. So you as a character will win lots of fights, but you as a player will lose lots of Saturdays.

I think it would make for a great solo campaign though.
Do you imagine being the next in initiative after this guy!

Just be 5th level and take Nature Soul, Animal Ally and Boon Companion as your feats.
You'll have a 5th level pony companion with 3 feats.
Increase their int to 3 and give them Nature Soul, Animal Ally and Boon Companion. Give you as many ponies as you can afford the retraining for, since you need the int prior to the feats.
I had a character back in 2nd edition. I collected one each of the Djinn bottles (Djinn, Efrit, Dao and Marid) which could each be summoned a number of times or minutes per day, and had a trained monkey familiar who could use wands, and amassed followers.
We called it Khesti's Instant Army.
I started building one for the fun of it. He is named Pahsa Al'Haram, self-proclaimed "Harem Master". He is CN (as well as an unbridled hedonist), with a Lyrakien Azata as a familiar, and eidolon that ressembles a succubus, and a wolf animal companion (which he disguises using a greater hat of disguise). His cohort is a CN Changeling (with object of desire racial trait) evangelist cleric of Nocticula. At the moment, it's a pretty silly build. Could make for an interesting, if erratic enemy.
I think I might build another that's more "beast-master" styled later.
interesting, if erratic enemy.
I read that as "interesting, if erotic enemy".
It's still just as good.
