Assuming that everything works as written (Druids use Wild Shape, functioning normally to use beast shape, to assume the forms of animals. Aberration wild shape allows them to use this ability to select aberration forms), what are some good forms to assume?




Additionally, in terms of flavor or mechanics, what archetypes and/or secondary classes would play well with this?

Aberrations are generally all about their weird abilities, which beast shape or an equivalent won't give you. You'd be down to picking an elder thing or a gug for their natural attacks, or maybe a will o'wisp for its one touch attack.

Obvious archetypes which would fit the theme are the terrain druid archetypes for whatever terrible place has been transformed by aberrations. If you're going to be fighting in wild shape a lot, dipping a level in some variety of monk might help, or any of the ways of getting sneak attack considering you're looking at 5 natural attacks easily.
