He was a member of the previous crew. He was able to get to even our strongest crew members, moving fast so long as no one was looking at him. Going out alone while he was on the loose was a huge risk. You really needed two pairs of eyes.
He would attack people and drain their energy. First attack would lead to scarring. Second would result in death. The scarring resulted in cellular damage that's shown no evidence of repair in the time that people have been recovering since. A team got together and led Ploiatos into a room and trapped him, having to take advantage of that "blind spot" and prey hunting behaviors.
Another crew member misidentified him and almost released him and was badly injured. [Papyrus up there.] A medic had to be called in to help heal him.
Basically? Don't go near him, no matter how curious you are. All he has to do is get his hands on you. It doesn't matter how fast you are. How strong you are. If you don't have extra eyes on him, he'll always have the upper hand.
Another reason I want to get this power back on. I prefer having lights with things like him on board.
