With a quick Google search I found that there may not be any diminutive monstrous humanoids, this is a real bother as a build I had in mind was highly reliant in this. So I'm wondering, are there any monstrous humanoids of this size, if so which ones would you recommend? Alternate question:what are some tiny monstrous humanoids/animals that you'd recommend?
No, there's no diminutive monstrous humanoids by Paizo, and the only tiny one is a swarm.
The closest you get is tiny magical beasts. These can have hands - ratlings and xiao (rats with human parts and flying monkeys respectively) are examples. The fey form spell has a number of diminutive options, like an atomie or sprite.

As far as I know, there are not any diminutive or tiny monstrous humanoids. The Charda is a useful small monstrous humanoid form with 5 natural attacks, a swim speed, the ability to breathe underwater, and some other fancy abilities that you might get based on the level of the spell you use.
The cat is a tiny beast with 3 attacks, if natural attacks are the goal. The hawk is a fast, tiny flier with 2 attacks. The viper has climb and swim speed, and poison with a scaling DC based on the spell you use to take its form. The diminutive bat is, of course, a classic with blindsense.
Why is diminutive monstrous humanoid even an option for monstrous phisuqe 3 then? Seems kinda silly.
Forward planning. If they didn't it would be different text than other 'shape' spells, and if in the future there is even the slightest possibility of there being dimunitive monstrous humanoids, they will plan ahead.
