It should be able to skin its victims and use their body parts as part of its outer skin.I'd even suggest that the armor bonus you mentioned earlier should be a result of multiple layers of leather and hide coverings. If that isn't enough, you could let the creature have an outer layer of unskinned body parts. This would mean that the tortured faces would conceal a layer of skulls and other body parts would have layers of bones below them.This way, you get a naturally burning ooze that coats itself with its victims to give itself some sort of fire blanket.If these creatures are slow to move, and if you are giving them the ability to lock together, then maybe they should have group tactics of: creating mazes, waiting for victims to get deep into the mazes and then cutting off the entrances and exits. Once this was done, they could slowly move in for the kill. It wouldn't matter (to the Carnivorous Wall) if they cut someone off and then took two hours slowly cutting off different passages and making the remaining maze grow ever smaller and smaller until the victims finally realise the walls are alive. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />I'd expect the final attack of the Carnivorous Wall would be rather similar to the trash compactor scene from Star Wars! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />If you went with my idea (of coating its body with its victims) you could create a variant Carnivorous Wall that seeks out and kills mimics. Each mimic it kills, could allow it to swap an area of hide/bone armour with an area of surface that has the same qualities as a mimic. When it has killed enough mimics, it could totally get rid of any flesh and bone coverings and have a total surface area that is hard to spot.I would suggest that any Mimic Carnivorous Walls loose some of that armor bonus when they gain "mimic skin".(I'm loving your work, BTW<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
