Season 1 Episode 23
Episode: "Skin of Evil"
After having survived a shuttle crash on planet Vagra II, Counselor Deanna Troi finds herself being held ransom by the sole life form that resides on that world; a malevolent entity called Armus, a creature that presents as an oil slick. Armus offers no regard or concern to the away team sent to rescue Troi, indeed after having existed for countless centuries in isolation what he apparently wants is to be entertained, subjecting the away team to his talents for torment and cruelty.
Armus is really putting our heroes through it as they attempt to negotiate for Troi's release. Armus appears more inclined however to boast his capacities for torment; his level of mean is so high in fact that even Data concludes that Armus should be subject to the most extreme of penalties.
