Clayface (DC Comic) is the most notable user of this ability
Power/Ability to:	transform into clay

Power to transform physically into clay. Variation of Earth Mimicry, technique of Earth Manipulation.

Capabilities

User is able to transform their body completely into clay, this transformed form can be either anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of clay, in which case it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately user can transform into homogenous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

Users abilities depend on the level of moisture they contain: wet clay can simply absorb most attacks and even enemies or items, it is malleable and nearly impossible to actually hurt; dry clay is nearly stone-like in hardness but fragile.
