Pretty simple, a moving wall.

It cannot be destroyed, cannot harm anything and it moves like a roach. It can be brained, too.

I think this is nearly what I suggested in the "Sliding Gates" request. However, they simply bounce off walls.

What would the wall do when it reached Beethro?

If the wall reached Beethro it would just stop and wait until he moves away.

How about it only moves once every three turns? A wall is pretty slow, and if you're planning on a room where Beethro needs to keep from getting trapped by walls, it would be more manageable.

That's a good idea.

It doesn't harm you, but can it be fatal if you are sandwiched?

In a way, yes. It can trap you so you can't walk anywhere.

Sort of like the "Wubba" that was apparently going to be in Webfoot, but the dev team took it out. Erik said it would probably be in 1.7. But of course, that's nothing to go on.

What was the name of the thread? I can't seem to remember, even though I made it. :D
