Morphic Savant Unchained Summoner is exactly what you want.
Essentially a spellcaster who harnesses chaos-infused summoned beings that change form on a whim. The personal trauma of doing stuff like this (as represented by the insanity-related stuff of the Alienist in 3.5) will have to be left up to traits/flaws and general roleplay. I feel this is the closest you'll get to something that thematic, though.

Another option is an Aberrant-Blooded Sorcerer who specializes in Conjuration - and the Monster Summoner's Handbook has some more good things to get your summoned monsters even closer to what you're aiming for.
Also look at some of the expanded summon monster list from various older sources.
Then of course there's this little wonder, which I have personally playtested and left notes on.
