Some living eukaryotes, such as the "amoeba" Pelomyxa (also known as Chaos), ... Ciliates are complex, heterotrophic protozoans that lack cell walls and use multiple small cilia for locomotion. To increase strength of the cell boundary, ciliates have a pellicle, a sort of tougher membrane that still allows them to change shape.
