The Enterprise is ravaged by a creature that sucks the salt from its
victims' bodies. It is capable of assuming any identity, including McCoy's
old flame Nancy Crater, a crewman Uhura has the hots for, McCoy, etc.
FACTS
Since several people were looking at the being at the beginning and
seeing different people, I would assume that is a mind controller, not a
shape-changer.
The salt-sucker suit shows up later as part of General Trelane's
collection in "The Squire of Gothos".
OPINIONS
Not the tightest plot, but fairly decent for first-season.
