Biography[]
In the year 2269, McCoy and Prentiss carried the cage of pet waul Ewass from the bridge to sickbay. En route, they unintentionally hit a wall. When the animal panicked, they accidentally dropped its cage, the latch snapped, and it fled down a corridor. Prentiss tried to pick it up, and got his left arm scratched severely. After being treated and bandaged with a splint, he warned Spock to be extremely careful when reaching for it. Not long after, all three started to growl at each other, a reaction to the empathic panic radiating telepathically from the frightened animal. (TOS audiobook: Passage to Moauv)
