Analysis

A single Sightstealer is unlikely to be a threat to even a group of brand new colonists. A large group ambushing a poor combatant could potentially be a problem, but only if a child wanders off alone or something equally irresponsible happens. They are marginally more dangerous than an unarmed baseliner, with claws that can cause bleeding.

A Sightstealer is one of the easiest anomalies to capture and contain that could be technically considered dangerous. Effectively a blessing to most colonies, providing an easy source of beginning research. Their weakness and stealth give them practically no defensive application.
