Just got done watching the new The Thing film, and as a prequel to the one with Kurt Russle, it was very good.

But it spurred on my creative juices.

What stats would you give to a creature like it, that mimics what it eats/tastes, so good, that even their bestest of friends won't know the difference?

Wouldn't it just be a shapeshifter that gets a bonus to it's disguise skill when it's disguised as something that it has sampled?

IIRC, the thing's transformation didn't happen right away, and it had to grapple them to absorb them.
