A Proto-Shoggoth is basically a Shoggoth made of human flesh and parts, which it can create and remove at will. They are not true Shoggoths, however, but creatures created through alien science or arcane secrets. Smaller Proto-Shoggoths may even take human shape and move undetected amongst them.
In the RPG...
Like a regular Shoggoth, a Proto-Shoggoth takes only 1-point of damage from any attack, and regenerates 2 hit-points per round, meaning they're almost unkillable. It can crush its victim with an average of 10 damage, or engulf them for the same amount per round. An opposed STR roll is needed to escape, but with their 175 STR, this means an average human only has a 9% chance of escape.
In a video game...
Proto-Shoggoths would suffer the same issues as a regular Shoggoth as far as animation goes, and if a shape-shifting human was desired for the story, I would say a Shoggoth Lord would be the better option.
In a film...
A Proto-Shoggoth in a film would probably be like the T-1000 Terminator, mostly used for mimicry.
