Did it really breaks the game?
Okay, here is the plot:
You are a Half-Orc Master Summoner with Ferocious Summons and Expanded Summon Monster feats (and the others feat you need, no matter lvl). You summon a Kyton, Augur wich have regeneration 2.
Now with a Con 16 (Augmented Summoning), and considering enemies don't have the attack type to stop Regeneration, what will happens when his HP are at 17, would it die? OR he will continue to fight, despite his HP are 1000???
Because, FEROCITY says: "A creature with ferocity still dies when its hit point total reaches a negative amount equal to its Constitution score."
But REGENERATION says: "they cannot die as long as their regeneration is still functioning".

In a home game for non-summons (say a troll PC or something) I would say ferocity only keeps you up to the point you would normally die, then your body is too mangled to effectively move and your unconscious and regenerating.
The summoned creature does not disappear at 0 hp, instead it disappears when killed (when its current hp get to a negative amount equal to its Constitution score).
Oh, that's very clear. I haven't seen that. Thank you much.
Have you ever seen a Nycar? It's an improved familiar, which can take Mauler archetype, which can be affected by Form Of Dragon III, which can be affected by Duplicate Familiar.
Have fun!
OK, but why Nycar? Why other familiars cannot be affected by that spell?
Remember that Constructs and Undead and other such would not benefit from Regeneration or the Ferocious Summons feat, as these creatures do not possess a Constitution score, and are automatically destroyed at 0 HP (or less).
That being said, I don't see this as being problematic or gamebreaking. Summons themselves are already gamebreaking anyway (as is the original Summoner class); tacking on pseudo-Diehard isn't gonna really make it any worse than what it already is, a class that invalidates all Martials with a single class feature.

Nope, Nycars and other Improved Familiars cannot be maulers. The mauler archetype replaces the speak with animals of its kind ability, and Improved Familiars don't gain that ability, so they can't replace it.
