For example, if I cast a Banshee of the Dread Choir and then mutate a Vadrok, Apex of Thunder on top of it and then mutate a Huntmaster Liger on top of that and then attack with it, are the resulting myriad creatures just a regular Huntmaster Liger or is it a 3/4 flying first strike "opponents discard on the attack" mutated beast?

As clarified by the release notes for Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, the characteristics added to a permanent by a mutating creature spell are copiable values, so they can be copied by another object (such as a token that's a copy of that permanent) (C.R. 706.2).

EDIT (Apr. 11): Edited in view of release notes.
