Seeing as the character only has one head, the bite gained from the alchemist's feral mutagen would replace the Tengu's bite, giving a minor damage buff.

I'm less clear on what would happen with the claws though. The character, in my view has 4 potential limbs for claws. It has a set of 2 from the claw attack alternative racial trait. When it imbibes the mutagen, it gains 2 new claw attacks. My question is, that since their are four potential limbs, and natural weapons are limited by available body locations, could the character not manifest the second set of claws on its feat? Effectively giving it 4 claw attacks and an improved bite, instead of 2 improved claw attacks and an improved bite?

I responded to soon.

I would rule against feet claws. A lion has 4 claws but only 2 attacks why would a tengu be able to use its feet if a lion can't.
