Alternatively you could use Illusion. It's much cheaper if you're only concerned about appearance rather than duplicating abilities. IME, that fits creatures that ambush using disguise (such as a mimic that looks like chest).

I've also considered non-protective, non-removable clothing a perk (ala the DR perk from powers) for shape-shifters if they are duplicating what their target and have the appearance only modifier (T1000 terminator types). It can include the semblance of non-working (as a trade off for being non-removable and exactly matching the appearance of the target).
