This is NOT something I want to do work on, and honestly don't care if Paizo takes it. My monster idea is called the shambling hive. It's a plant type creature that crawls through forests. It's main form of attack is releasing various swarms that it attracts to itself that rests in it. I picture it as large creature that drags itself along it's route that looks like a compost heap or possibly a large hill covered in moss.
I like it.
From your post I originally thought of an image more like a giant turtle creature with a shell that resembles a beehive or a termite mound.
The creature would survive by drawing nourishment by absorbing through the shell, the food brought back by the foraging swarms.
