It is well known that adult Wraith live on life-force. For various people's ideas as to what life-force is, see:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odic_force
(and the main real-world effect of these is that QI and OD are now officially allowed words in Scrabble.)
Stargate says little about alien animals. I wonder if the Wraith absolutely need HUMAN life-force, or could they manage with life-force from any reasonably big and long-lived vertebrate animal? Would it ever be possible in the scenario of the story to make life-force artificially rather than taking it from humans?
