The Goa'uld first arose in the waters of P3X-888, originally as predators. Ba'al was also able to survive the demise of the rest of the System Lords (even up until the very end of the series) through being infinitely more flexible and adaptable than any of the others had been, even at times allying with SG-1 when he felt the situation warranted it. Heru'ur was seen on the battlefield with his Jaffa as an active general, risking his own life alongside them rather than hiding behind them (as Ra in particular had done). Apophis at times showed an unusual amount of insight, lucidity, and tenacity for a Goa'uld, escaping from Sokar's imprisonment, and to a small extent, rebuilding his forces. (SG1: 'Children of the Gods', 'Thor's Hammer', 'The First Ones')ДЄlthough the majority of them are one-dimensionally genocidal, megalomaniacal, and in some cases (such as Cronus, and, to a lesser extent, Ra) apparently barely self-aware (living out the patterns of their behavior as they existed thousands of years ago), there were a few exceptions. Races which will not serve them are completely destroyed without compromise. Goa'uld means 'God' in the Goa'uld language. They are also extremely egomaniacal due to their genetic memory and the sarcophagus technology. They originated on the planet designated P3X-888. Several species can serve as hosts, including humans and Unas. The Goa'uld are a race of sentient parasitic beings that take over hosts.
