The Goa'uld (pronounced ; commonly shortened to or ) are a symbiotic race of ancient astronauts from the American-Canadian military science fiction television franchise ''Stargate''. The Goa'uld are parasites from the planet P3X-888, integrated within a host, most of the time a human. The resulting creatures are a powerful race bent on galactic conquest and domination, largely without pity, compassion or remorse. In the first eight seasons of ''Stargate SG-1'', they are the greatest extraterrestrial threat to Earth known to the Stargate Command (SGC). The Goa'uld are the main enemies of SG-1 for most of the show, until they are replaced in this capacity by the Ori in seasons 9 and 10. They also appear in the ''Stargate Atlantis'' episode , and in the DVD movie ''Stargate: Continuum''. They are pejoratively called "snakes" or "snakeheads" by Jack O'Neill. The Goa'uld were created by writers Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich for the 1994 movie, ''Stargate''. Although the alien race in the film was never named, the pilot episode "Children of the Gods" (1997) established that the alien race seen in the movie are the Goa'uld. In the series, it is confirmed that they are a parasitic race that uses hosts to survive. They were the dominant species in our galaxy. == Development == Jeff Kleiser and a special effects team working on ''Stargate'' (1994) the film, used around 40 people and used self-written image-creation and composition software, as well as commercial digital packages to create the Stargate, the morphing helmets worn by Ra and the Horus guards. The pharaoh mask in the opening credits was made out of fiber glass and was modeled in the workshop. The sequence was filmed with a motion-control camera to give a better depth of field. The film was originally planned to play out in a chronological order, but when Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich edited the film to tighten the narrative, they decided to change the first scene of the film into a flashback to show who the human host of Ra was before the aliens took him.〔Dean Devlin. (2001). ''Audio Commentary for Stargate'' (). MGM Home Entertainment.〕 The Jaffa (from ''Stargate SG-1'') look in the series was copied from the Egyptian look of Ra from the film. The look of the Goa'uld, such as Apophis, was initially based on Ra in the feature film. Since the eighth season of ''Stargate SG-1'' was intended to be the last, the producers had finished it with the defeat of the Goa'uld and the Replicators. However, when the Sci Fi Channel renewed the series, the producers had grown tired of writing endings. Having had good experiences with the first season of ''Stargate Atlantis'', the producers decided to revamp the series by more than just adding new characters, new villains and new missions. Thus they considered the beginning of Season 9 as the pilot of a new show and replaced the Goa'uld with the Ori as the main villains. The Goa'uld still appeared in the show, but on a regular basis under the command of Ba'al. The astronomers David J. Tholen and Roy A. Tucker enjoyed the ''SG-1'' arch villain Apophis so much that they named their discovered near-Earth asteroid "99942 Apophis". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goa'uld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
