The shoggoth is heavy.
I would probably advance a gibbering mouther, and borrow some scaled down shoggoth powers.

If it has to embody gluttony you might want to have it absorb the people it warps into other gibbering mouthers to get bigger.
Good idea, now to up the HD/CR, make it gargantuan and have some sort of effect that absorbs melee weapon strikes and steal the weapons out of their hands =p
Rock on. Sounds fun, if they can maybe get them back :)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
All-Around Vision (Ex): A shoggoth's many sense organs grant a +4 racial bonus on Perception and immunity to flanking.
Maddening Cacophony (Su): As a free action, a shoggoth can give voice to sounds and words sane life was not meant to hear. All creatures in a 60-foot radius must make a DC 20 Will save or be confused for 1d6 rounds. Each round a creature is affected it takes 1d6 points of Wisdom damage. A creature that saves cannot be affected by this shoggoth's maddening cacophony for 24 hours. This is a sonic mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Engulf (Ex): To use this ability, the shoggoth must begin its turn grappling a creature or must trample. A shoggoth may attempt to engulf as many creatures as it grapples or tramples in a round. This ability otherwise functions as swallow whole, save that a creature that cuts is way out of a shoggoth leaves no hole in the protoplasmic creature's body.
