Stargate Villians

Stargate has a great collection of villians and here are my thoughts on the very best. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, just those that I feel had the biggest impact.

GOA'ULD

The Goa'uld are serpent parasites that forcibly take human hosts, and possess a thirst for power and worship. They have enslaved countless worlds, using their inhabitants as hosts, soldiers, miners, and personal slaves. The Goa'uld have incredible regenerative abilities and are capable of living thousands of years in the body of a human host. The Goa'uld pose as various gods from Earth mythology, so that the masses (people whose ancestors were transplanted from Earth thousands of years ago) will follow and obey. The most powerful Goa'uld System Lord was Anubis. He was banished by the others because his actions were deemed unspeakable, even among the Goa'uld.

JAFFA

Slaves of the Goa'uld, the Jaffa are humans from many different worlds, most of whom have been implanted with larval Goa'uld symbiotes. Jaffa have a great sense of honour and nobility backing their oppressed history. Because of their genetic manipulation by the Goa'uld, Jaffa are forced to receive a symbiote upon reaching the Age of Prata (puberty), or die from a failing immune system. Without a symbiote, an adult Jaffa cannot survive more than a few hours.

REPLICATORS

Replicators are composed of hundreds of individual blocks, which are comprised of whatever substance the original Replicator has consumed. It takes only a few blocks to replicate new blocks, and in a few hours Replicators can breed into thousands. The Replicators seek and absorb advanced technology. Goa'uld technologies are too inferior and are incapable of stopping Replicators. The technologically advanced Asgard empire entered into war with the Replicators and resulted in a technological race. The Asgard have, on more than one occasion, come to Earth seeking help.
