My character's first level is Bloodrager with the Draconic bloodline (yes, I gonna try the Dragon Disciple). I want to take Unchained Monk at 2nd level to get Flurry and Improved Unarmed Strike. This will allow me to take Dragon Style at 3rd level and Dragon Ferocity at 5th.
Does the Monk's Flurry stack with the Draconic bloodline, allowing me 3 claw attacks during a full-round attack?
Yup, and it wouldn't gain you any extra attacks over a regular flurry.
Edit: Hmm. That last part was the case with CRB monk, but I don't see the same language in the unchained monk's flurry of blows ability description.
maybe brawler would work better then monk.
It would take 2 levels, but you would get improved unarmed combat and two-weapon fighting. You could make your primary strikes using your elbows or feet and then then get both your claws and bite attack as normal.
You would get more attacks, but all of your natural weapons would be treated as secondary attacks even with feral combat training. Assuming I'm understanding the natural weapon rules correctly.

On the contrary, Brawler doesn't work at all: "A brawler with natural weapons can’t use such weapons as part of brawler’s flurry, nor can she make natural weapon attacks in addition to her brawler’s flurry attacks."
Feral Combat Training only has a special line regarding Monks, so it doesn't help, either.
Make it a Menhir Guardian Monk and you could flurry with your Shifter Claws, then FCT for the bite and you could flurry with that too...but only when you get 8 levels in Monk, which is proooooobably not the build you had in mind.

hmm... you are correct.
I suppose it's possible to just take 2 weapon fighting and improved unarmed fighting separately as feats. Since two weapon fighting doesn't have a statement like this.
Do you want arguments about metaphorical hands? Because this is how you get arguments about metaphysical hands.
Nah, it does work, natural attacks mostly ignore the "metaphorical hands" crap.
The problem is that you'd need to spend money on two weapons and an Amulet of Mighty Fists. So you have like four times the normal weapon cost.
In addition, for such a build, the natural attacks only help against enemies where your TWF is already doing well (enemies you can full attack, with low AC and no DR).
Only if you use weapons wielded in your hands - armor spikes and boot blade would work.
Come to think of it, TWF with unarmed strikes plus natural attacks would work, and only need an AoMF.
Oh good, now armor spikes and boot blade are in the mix. Now we're in full-on metaphorical hand mode!
Sorry, I had to - it's not a proper mindscrew if they're not involved! Seriously though, as long as you're not using unarmed strikes or other manufactured weapons, armor spikes and boot blade aren't problematic, and I'd say they're created for situations where you can't wield weapons in your hands. But, again, unarmed is way cheaper, and exlicitly allows "kicks, and head butts". Plus, at that point, your natural attacks are pretty much "win more", so who cares?
