The Aberrant Bloodline of the Bloodrager unlocks a a specific feat, Abberant Tumor. Im not too familiar with familiars(no laughing, ok, you can laugh). However, looking them up is rather simple.
The Aberrant Familiar basically copies another familiar. It can be any " animal it resembles", which is pretty vague.
Also does it also gives the Special Abilities of each creature, such as +1 Natural Armor Bonus of a Turtle?
Yup.
Yup.
To which question?

you only asked one: "Also does it also gives the Special Abilities of each creature, such as +1 Natural Armor Bonus of a Turtle?"
if you want clarifiaction on "animal it resembles" the assumption is that you by default can only pick familiars of the animal type, so not some of the more exotic choices.
Aside from that its only there to establish that aside from what is described in the feat, it'll function exactly as a normal familiar.
Sorry, I meant the shape part to be a question.
Just resembling something is open to interpretation both for gameplay reasons, and for in character reasons.
It would be funny to have RPG characters argue what the Tumor looks like...While is does something like dancing.
It wouldnt be funny if I anger people in my group because the tumor looks like multiple creatures and can change bonuses.

So
"Is it a cute little bunny"or
"Is it a bunny from resident evil?"
That is the question on 'resembles'? IE- does it pass for the animal, or is it an unholy abomination against the 1/4 of the gods that are good?

And everyone believes the character is a hypochondriac because he's always saying "I think I have a tumor."

espcially when it climbs on and off of the PC and goes does things.
See that is an example of a funny player/rpg character conversation.
However it doesnt answer if the Tumor Familiar can resemble more than one creature.
It would be very useful to have a shapechanging familiar. For fairness even if that was allowed I wouldnt stack up multiple forms and have every ability at once.
Originally I thought it was a shapechanger because I thought it said "animal it resembles at the time"

Wait, what? No. It doesn't shapechange. You pick a single form.

The tumor familiar is best whith the protector archetype. At low levels it can bodyguard you (aid another to AC) and at higher levels it can share your damage and heal itself with fasthealing.
Valet Archetype is pretty useful.

The tumor can resemble more than one creature, but would that mean it would be possible to have multiple profiles, or just one fixed form?
Oh and back to part of the original question. Someone said that the Tumor familiar would have the special ability of the animal it resembles. Is there a source I can site for that?
The tumor can resemble more than one creature
No, it has one fixed form.

It's stated within the ability itself.
It could stand an FAQ, but it's pretty clear the intent is that you choose one animal form and stick to it.
PFS Legal Tumor Familiar (Ex) (Ultimate Magic pg. 1 (Amazon)): The alchemist creates a Diminutive or Tiny tumor on his body, usually on his back or stomach. As a standard action, the alchemist can have the tumor detach itself from his body as a separate creature vaguely resembling a kind of animal suitable for a familiar (bat, cat, and so on) and move about as if it were an independent creature. The tumor can reattach itself to the alchemist as a standard action. The tumor has all the abilities of the animal it resembles (for example, a batlike tumor can fly) and familiar abilities based on the alchemist’s caster level (though some familiar abilities may be useless to an alchemist). The tumor acts as the alchemist’s familiar whether attached or separated (providing a skill bonus, the Alertness feat, and so on). When attached to the alchemist, the tumor has fast healing 5. An alchemist’s extracts and mutagens are considered spells for the purposes of familiar abilities like share spells and deliver touch spells. If a tumor familiar is lost or dies, it can be replaced 1 week later through a specialized procedure that costs 200 gp per alchemist level. The ritual takes 8 hours to complete.
Above I have bolded the important text. The tumor is always a familiar and the skill bonus granted by a familiar is based on its form, which it must maintain even when attached.
