What it does
Lifelink
When this creature enters, look at target opponent's hand. You may choose a nonland card from it. If you do, that player exiles that card, then draws a card.
After the collapse of their civilization, the people of M-113 became little more than predators, but they never abandoned their need for love.

Where it came from
The Salt Vampire, known formally as the M-113 creature, was featured in the 1966 Star Trek: The Original Series episode 'The Man Trap.' Designed by makeup artist Wah Chang, the costume was created to represent the last surviving member of its species, a shapeshifting entity that subsists on the salt content found in human bodies. The creature remains one of the most iconic practical effects from the show's first season, marking the very first monster encountered by the crew of the USS Enterprise in a broadcast episode.
As a collectible card, this item belongs to the broader category of Star Trek trading card sets produced throughout the franchise's history to celebrate its enduring legacy in science fiction. These cards typically serve as historical archives for fans, cataloging specific characters, alien species, and behind-the-scenes production stills. The design focuses on the creature's distinct, macabre aesthetic, which challenged contemporary television standards for prosthetic makeup and remains a hallmark of Gene Roddenberry's original vision.
