There was one episode of the original series in which a woman working at a research station is killed by a 'salt monster', which takes on her appearance and starts murdering people in its quest for salt (which it needs to survive). It's not a particularly great or thought-provoking plot, but for some reason it has always 'resonated' with me, particularly the dramatic ending, which I found mildly disconcerting.
Kirk gets the universal translator out:
Kirk to salt monster : you could've just gone to the shops.
Salt monster:oh.....soz....I've just killed 15 people btw
