Good Beast Shape and Monstrous Physique creatures for a dex Investigator?

[Woodoodoo]

So I am playing a Ratfolk Investigator and I thought it would be fun to find small/medium and maybe eventually tiny creatures to change into using Beast shape and Monstrous Physique. Best combat based one I found so far was the Charda, seems like an interesting creature.
Any other suggestions?

I have a Gnome Investigator that changes in a Charda. It's the clear winner for combat, I think. 5 natural attacks plus sized small (so +2 Dex even going from a small creature to small creature). It's got a swim speed as well, which means it gets the amphibious subtype and can breath underwater. So it's a good utility creature, too. Gargoyle might still win out if you need flight. I'm sure there's a small creature out there somewhere with a fly speed and decent natural attacks. Beast Shape would let you turn into a bird, but then you'd lose access to your items.

Yeah, I guess I will be going with the Charda most of the time. I will keep looking for small creatures with fly and nice nat attacks.

Aurumvorax, small, 4-clawed magical beast

Sahaugin come in 4-armed versions, but size medium.

Did you go with a level of Swashbuckler or Kata Master Monk? If not I would suggest that. Maybe both. An Agile Amulet of Mighty Fist would be good too.

I went with the swashbuckler level. And yeah, agile AoMF will be bought eventually.
