It's two! Two! Two threads in one!
Okay, the reason I'm looking for an LA 0 race with a bite attack is due to Kensai and their enhancing of weapons. Since it can be done to natural weapons, I had the thought of giving a bite-enabled Kensai Metalline (Underdark, page 69) teeth. Now, it doesn't actually say a Metalline weapon needs to be made of metal in the first place, and the build's mostly conceptual anyway. The main thing would be changing his teeth to pentifex (Magic of Incarnum) and he'd be all blingin', yo. Another option would be brilliant energy teeth, for a smile that literally lights up the room.
LA 0 is mostly just an irrational knee-jerk dislike of any level adjustment. It can be ignored, I'd rather it not be. I'd prefer it to be a permanent bite attack, too, since I'm uncertain of the legality of a Kensai affecting the natural weapons of a shifter or wildshaped Druid. Awakened animals are also probably out, although an awakened dog Kensai with metalline teeth is an amusing image.
Feats or class levels that would grant a bite attack and still grant a full 10 progression in Kensai would also work.
As for the second part, I know I'd enjoy hearing about odd builds like the discussed one. Anything that takes a class feature and applies it to something really off-beat, or just breaks something that's not attack bonus, damage, HP, or AC.
