Synopsis:
The Warlord and Shakira come across a traveler named J'Huranda being attacked by lizard men. They join the battle and kill most of the attackers. Two flee. J'Huranda suggests they pursue.

During the pursuit, the warrior questions Shakira and learns much of both of his new friends. Morgan, however, doesn't trust their new ally. Eventually they catch up to the lizard men. One of them surrenders, but J'Huranda kills him anyway.

Before dying the lizard man tells Morgan that J'Huranda is not what he seems. He is an alien with the ability to steal the life force and appearance of other beings. When the body thief takes Shakira's form, Morgan sees through the ruse and shoots his opponent. With the alien apparently dead, the real Shakira recovers and rides off with Morgan.

Unknown to the Warlord, the alien does not actually die. He absorbs the life force of a passing caterpillar to survive.
