As the story goes, some well-meaning thaumaturgist or scientist developed a form of artificial flesh to revolutionize the practice of medicine. Adventurers who encounter the ever-growing, ever-consuming neoplastic blob might have a moment to appreciate the irony before being absorbed into the quivering flesh.
HD: 5
AC: 8
Save: F2
Attacks: 1
Defenses: regenerates 3 hp/round; half damage from bludgeoning weapons.
Special: On a successful hit (or if the neoplastic blob is touched directly by an attacker) it begins to engulf the person on a failed saving throw. Absorption takes 1d6 rounds. As long as part of a person is still free of the creature they may still escape, but it will require someone else to help them except for the very strongest.

Nice and icky. And begging to be placed in a dungeon ;)
Brilliant, nasty, slimy and we could make a movie "Wall of Flesh".
Reminds of me the grisly "Noose of Flesh" from Moorcock's The Vanishing Tower.
I am glad that this is just for the game, I had a sudden flash of alarm reading the title.
Sorry, @CKulalik. Thankfully, there are no real neoplasms to be discussed.
@Simon - As if it had grown there. ;)
@Angry Lurker - Indeed. Or at least an episode of some horror anthology show.
@Coopdevil - It's been decades since I read any classic Moorcock. Maybe a revisiting is overdue.
The Thaumaturge wouldn't happen to be named Karza by any chance.. and perhaps owns a fabled body banks?
Ha! Probably not, but it's always good to find that somebody remembers the Micronauts.
First I need to get me a basement. Then I need to put a flesh blob down there. Yeah, and then, well, um...I haven't worked that part out yet but things are going to be different form now on. Very different.
I've got the perfect place for this! Awesome! Thanks!
@Christian - Different better? ;)
@Needles - That place wouldn't be Christian's basement, would it? ;)
This reminds me the same wall in the "Gates of Firestorm Peak" AD&D module.
