I recently unlocked the option to create a skinwalker and immediately wanted to create something similar to Darkest Dungeons Abomination hero. However, I start to stress out how to build its combat side. Initially, I thought of taking four levels of abyssal bloodrager to fit the theme but the thought dies in my head as I have no idea what else to dip into.
Edit:
I thought adding levels of druid would seem fitting but stats alone seem to conflict.
Unlocked? Is this for PFS?

I wasn't sure if GD in PFS was the ideal location for posting this but yes.
Yes, that is correct. However, since there are multiple ways to get claws or a bite you could take extra feature once for the save bonus and extra attack, while getting the other attack some other way.
An example would be if you went ranger or slayer and picked up claws at level 2 via aspect of the beast.
It is less fitting for an Abomination (his other form is clearly some sort of demonic wolf creature), but if you wanted to be really crazy with a skinwalker you should go for a barbarian boarkin. Iirc, you can have 6 natural attacks at level 2 which is utterly ridiculous.

You can have 5 at level 1 with abyssal bloodrager. 5 at level 2 with barbarian. These are both assuming Extra Feature as your first level feat. But for PFS, barbarian is the way to go because at lvl 10 you get pounce (if not PFS then go abyssal bloodrager (primalistand rageshaper archetypes), you'll go large at lvl 4, your claws will be one size larger, and then at 8 and 12 you can take all three beast totems plus the boarkin rage power where your gore crits on a charge). Add in the trait Adopted (orc) Tusked (takes up social and racial traits) and you add another natural attack for the 6th that Gummy Bear pointed out.
All that gives you
Primary: Gore, Claw x2, Bite
Secondary: Hoof x2
Here's my lvl 12 (non pfs) skinwalker
1) Extra Features
3) Improved Unarmed Strike
5) Arcane Strike
6 Bloodline bonus feat) Power Attack
7) Iron Will
9 Bloodline bonus feat) Improved Bull Rush
9) Rhino Charge (readying a charge as a standard action = move plus full attack once you get pounce)
11) Dragon Style (charge through allies and difficult terrain)
12 Bloodline Bonus Feat) Toughness (because at this point I had all the other feats I wanted/needed)
From Primalist swap out lvl 8 and 12 bloodline abilities for Lesser Beast Totem and Beast Totem, then Greater Beast Totem (pounce!) and Boar's Charge.
Only gear that's noteworthy - Belt of Thunderous Charging (weapons are one size larger)
Daredevil boots - +5 acrobatics to negate attacks of opportunity from moving.
So every round, move to a charge distance and "ready a charge to charge the first hostile thing you see." If you're already next to it, then walk away (using acrobatics (bonus from boots)) and do the same thing. The belt increases your damage size when you charge.
