Would an Umber Hulk qualify for aberration feats since it does technically have Aberration blood and if so would star spawn and inhuman reach be a good investment for a gestalt savage progression umber hulk//dungeon crasher fighter/war hulk. Also would enlarge person work on an umber hulk.

It would not. The aberration blood feat requires the humanoid subtype.

And enlarge person also requires the humanoid type.

Usually aberrations have tentacles as opposed to feet ;)

If it isn't an official rule that being an aberration counts as fulfilling that requirement for aberration feats, it's a pretty reasonable thing to houserule.

As far as enlarge person goes, yes, it technically only works on humanoids. Unfortunately when 3.5 changed the enlarge spell from its previous version(s) they failed to introduce additional spells to account for non-humanoids. It would not be unreasonable to use independent research to get a generic enlarge spell like the 3.0 or 2nd Edition versions, or at the very least enlarge X where X is whatever creature type you want. Or just argue that the spells should exist anyway.

The Aberrant feats are about mutations from the base form.

Mourning Mutate feat in Dragon #359. It counts as Aberrant blood for non humanoids

Mr. Squidface would like to have a word with you.
