I don't think it's semi solid. I'm pretty sure you are an actual solid creature that can secrete and control mucus like she does.

in making of it mentions:

"at first I had considered having the male become the rubber suit. However, given the "tickling" attack I decided to instead have the Night Gaunt appear to tickle it's victims, when in fact it was coating them in a fluid which would reshape their body. Given that the male would become a Night Gaunt himself, I decided that he should change to have the same abilities as the female."

He had the idea of a more liquid symbiote like form but decided to go with:

"The Night Gaunt females transform their mates into a set of massive tentacle-like appendages which attach to their body from behind. The only female portions of the body are the body itself and the horns, with the tentacles, wings, and tail belonging to the male."

instead.

I also asked him in August about if you can shape your tentaces into new shapes and it sounds limited to hardening what you secerte into nubs or other shapes rather than full control to be whatever you want.

Q: Can the husband of a Night Gaunt make different types of tentacles for pleasing his wife?

''A: You can do it. You can make tentacles by freezing mucus freely to some extent''
