I'm making playable ancestries for some of the intelligent monsters that you may like to play as. I'm intending on doing those that Paizo would be unlikely to make (he he, I started making a Pixie/Sprite/Grigg ancestry then Paizo announced they would make their own, grr). So far I've made 6 that are available on DriveThruRPG for your pleasure.

This second installment brings the ferocious sahuagin to the table, with rules on how to create a character as an ancestry. Incorporating 3 heritages focusing on their underwater skill and mutations represented by those iwth extra arms and spines along their back as well as 12 ancestry feats, one precious material armour and one weapon.

Looks neat! I'm intrigued to pick these up, just because.
I wonder if you have ideas on a ghoul heritage (read: similar to Midgard Darakhul - intelligent empire builders).

Actually I have a vampire and ghoul archetype/versatile heritage like the werecreature being worked on. The ghoul is so far the easier of the two to work on. Which one I get to next depends on which ancestries I like and which others seem to want, so maybe I will look to get the ghoul finished sooner rather than later.

Very cool! I will be picking up a few of these. Thank you for the response!
I would love to see your take on a 2-headed creature, ala Ettin or 2-headed ogre or whatever, that is intended to be played by two players, one controlling a head/arm each, and the rest of the body being shared by both players :)

Hmm, that would be interesting. Merge their HP etc for the body. I'll have to think about it.
Anyway, a new ancestry appears! For those that want a large sized creature to play as.
