Goa'uld

The Goa'uld are a fictional parasitic alien race in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 universe. They look like snakes but they normally insinuate themselves into the brains of large animals, which they can then control. They find humans particularly suitable as hosts.

Most Goa'uld are evil, egocentric megalomaniacs who pose as Lords or Gods to control armies. However, some are opposed to these System Lords, such as the Tok'ra. A singular Goa'uld is sometimes referred to as a symbiote, more often when the host and parasite have a free, benign, synergetic relationship as with the Tok'ra.

The Goa'uld were the primary enemies of SG-1 for most of the series, although in Season 9 they were supplanted in this role by the Ori after the fall of the System Lords.
