Provenance

Where it came from

The Salt Vampire, known formally as the M-113 creature, was introduced in the 1966 Star Trek episode 'The Man Trap.' As the first monster ever encountered by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the original series, it holds a significant place in science fiction television history, representing the show's early focus on psychological tension and moral ambiguity.

The character design, featuring a distinct, wrinkled, and suckered appearance, was conceived by makeup artist John Chambers. In the context of trading card sets, this creature is frequently featured as a highlight of the lore, with the specific card illustrated by Simon Dominic capturing the creature's predatory and unsettling nature, often favored by collectors for its iconic role in the series' inaugural broadcast episode.
