Sounds like a Shoggoth:
“It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.”
H. P. Lovecraft, At The Mountains of Madness
Yeah, a lot of later D&D Monsters had a lot of Lovecraftian flavor. This one is a lot like that too. Though, there are some other strong Shoggoth contenders in the books too which I hope to get into.
