These enormous jelly-like uni-cellular creatures coming from an unknow planet. Each creature is a part of a bigger complex entity, formed by all the separated uni-cellular beings. The parasitic creatures cause insanity in victims by landing on their backs and entering the nervous system via the spine, which they wrap around. The only weapon that can destroy these parasites is the light. Dr. McCoy first thought that only white light might destroy them (1000 candles per square inch), but after a very dangerous experiment with MR. Spock, he discovered a human-safe way to destroy them by exposing to a ultraviolet light.

Can't blame you there, Lollypop. I always thought of the Horta as a moving lasagna. :laugh:

 

But, I relly liked this episode. It was sad for the way the creatures were so low tech, but the story was good.

The low tech creatures gave the show a certain character. Sometimes I tire of the high tech effects of today. High tech effects can spoil a great story at times.

I know that the low tech creatures could not be helped, Data. I still Love the Devil in the Dark, but that does not stop me from having a good giggle over the moving lasagna! :rolleyes:

 

Believe me, TOS as a whole is very dear to me. Heck, I even love ST:TMP.

But I can still see humor in what they had to use as props and such.

I wonder if the tormented spirits of all those dead,half-mad Denevans raise the dickins with the colonists who live there in the 24th century? :unsure:
