Say I have a Lamashtu-worshipping character who's naturally small-sized, but who can polymorph (for hours a day) into forms ranging from tiny to large (soon will be diminutive to huge)...
The restriction "within one size category of the wearer’s size" in the second-to-last sentence of the mask's description, is that based on the wearer's natural size category, or their current (polymorphed) size category? On most items listing a size category restriction, such as the Ring of the Grasping Grave I assume this means the wearer's current (polymorphed) size category. Given the nature of the ability on the Demon Mother's Mask though, I suppose there's some room to assume it's limited to the wearer's natural size category instead.
I may need some clarity on this so I can know for certain what creatures my character might have access to raising as an army...
I think it would depend on who is the mother or father, if the one being "enhanced" is the father then I think it would be good, but if it was the mother than I think it might cause some problems in the you-know-what.
Father's the one wearing the mask, definitely.
Not easy to raise an entire army with the thing, if you're the mother. :P
I would think that it would work but the baby would be smaller than normal. Since the enhancing is only temporary.

RAW: the rules thankfully do not go into all that much depth on some matters.
It's a mask of lamashtu. I'd go with whatever allows for the craziest cross pairings possible.
For example I would say that if a (insert your small character) (M) became medium through polymorph, and did the -dirty dance- with a tiger (F) it would be a fiendish medium tiger that is as features as the (insert your small character)
