Look up the "mesh hiding" resource.

Or another easy way doing it.

You could just create 2 datablock. One is the player shape and the other is the monster shape , this would be an easier route as it won't require any engine changes.

If you are more of an artist, rather than a programmer, you could make an animation of the monster arm growing off the player.

Having the arm morph into the monster's appendage would definitely be the cooler approach, but skeletal animation probably won't cut it. That means whopping big mesh animations.

But you might animate the texture, for instance, turning the arm green and warty-looking before switching it out entirely for the monster paw.
