Rock Man
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
(written from a Production point of view)
The original version for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier featured the Rock Man as a creature who attacked William Shatner's Captain Kirk on Sha Ka Ree. This creature and the complete scene was later cut from the final film because the scene was thought too poor to include in the film.
Tom Morga, the stuntman who portrayed the Rock Man, talked about this scene and the costume in the special feature "Tom Morga: Alien Stuntman" on the 2009 box release of Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection (DVD). According to Morga, a flame extender with a gas jet was put into the costume so that the Rock Man could bring out flames of his mouth.
