how about a class like tarazan or the beast
not quite like the monk remove the ki add rage, claws, bite, like a druid minus the spells but add a minor shape change with the rage im prove nat.armor, keep the monk wisdom/ac bonus, improved movement, remove the animal companion, most spells maybe keep the enhancing ones or give access to abilities like the rage bonuses or ki strikes
i made a feral 1/2 ogre in 3.5 and im having a blast with my feral warrior/druid with some of the changes up top useing the options from unearth arcana and ph2 but i feel you guys could do a much better job

AC Bonus (Ex). When unarmored and unencumbered, the savage adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC and his CMD. This bonus to AC applies even against touch attacks or when the savage is flat-footed. He loses this bonus when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears armor, carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load.
Fast Movement (Ex). A savage's land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet. This benefit only applies when he is not wearing armor and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the barbarian's speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses to the savage's land speed.
Natural Weapons (Ex). A savage has 2 primary natural attacks that cause 1d4 points of damage (1d3 if the savage is Small) plus the savage's Strength modifier. Treat this ability as Improved Unarmed Strike for the purposes of qualifying for feats.
Rage (Ex). As the barbarian ability of the same name.
Rage Powers (Ex). The savage has access to all the barbarian Rage Powers, plus the following.
Savage Claws (Ex). While raging, the savage's natural attacks do damage equal to the unarmed damage a monk of the same level as the savage would cause. A savage must have the Animal Fury rage power to select this rage power.
Pounce (Ex). While raging, the savage can charge and make a full attack at the end of the charge.
Rake (Ex). If a savage hits the same opponent with both of his natural attacks, he can make 2 rake attacks against the same opponent with a -5 penalty to their attack rolls. If they hit, they cause damage equal to the savage's primary natural attacks.
Rend (Ex). If a savage hits the same opponent with both of his natural attacks, he automatically causes an additional amount of damage equal to his primary natural attack.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex). As the barbarian ability of the same name.
Natural Defenses (Ex). At 3rd level, the savage gains a +1 bonus to Perception checks to avoid being surprised. In addition, if the savage has a Constitution bonus of +1 or higher, he gains a natural armor bonus to AC equal to +1. At 6th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the savage's Natural Defenses bonus increases by +1. His natural armor bonus from this ability can never exceed his Constitution bonus.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex). As the barbarian ability of the same name.
Damage Reduction (Ex). As the barbarian ability of the same name.
