A chameleonic shape-changing mutant known as a Polymorph is roaming around Red Dwarf. An Earthly invention, there was found to be just one problem with this ultimate warrior: it is insane, and thus uncontrollable.
Designed to feed on extreme emotions, the creature begins cycling through various forms in order to elicit the desired reactions and emotional responses from the crew. From Lister it takes fear, from the Cat it takes vanity, from Kryten it takes guilt and from Rimmer it takes anger.
Thank God that Lister's brave enough to offer his life up for the good of the others...
