    Which Goa'uld is your favourite?

    This thread spawned from the Goa'uld thunk thread. We wanted to see which Goa'uld is the most popular one, but since we also realised many people do not remember who some obscure Goa'uld we have seen for a few minutes in one episode is...we need pictures of them!

    Thus, to make it easier for people, the first posts of this thread will have a picture and a very short description of who the various Goa'uld are.

    Then, we hope to add a poll to this thread, and allow you to vote for the Goa'uld you think is the coolest, hottest, funkiest...whatever - your FAVOURITE Goa'uld, whatever the reason!

    You are of course VERY welcome to write WHY you like him/her/it? best! Actually, please do!

    Since there are pretty many Goa'uld through the episodes, we narrowed it down to the 30 ones we liked the most (in the Goa'uld thunk thread). If you like one of those that are not in the poll, vote for 'other' and make a post why you think this Goa'uld is way cooler than any other!

    If this has inspired you to come post about the Goa'uld, go to the Goa'uld thunk thread and join us in discussing and thunking the true masters of the Milky Way Galaxy!

    And if you are feeling treasonous...come join us in the Tok'ra thunk thread too! There you can discuss and thunk the totally awesome dual personality allies of the Tau'ri. Just be careful the Goa'uld does not find out

    "Hear this. The days of the Goa'uld System Lords are numbered. Tell them that I died with hope. My death only feeds the fire that burns strong in the Tok'ra." (Jolinar, "In the Line of Duty")

    Amaterasu

    Amaterasu is first seen as part of a Goa'uld delegation, including Lord Yu and Camulus. They are seeking an alliance with the Tau'ri against Ba'al who has seized control of Anubis' base and Kull Warriors following Anubis' defeat and has gained a great deal of power.
    (SG1: "New Order, Part 1", "New Order, Part 2")



    Amaunet

    Amaunet was a Goa'uld symbiote who took Daniel Jackson's wife, Sha're as her host. She was the beloved of the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis. We first saw her in the SG-1 pilot "Children of the Gods".



    Anubis

    Anubis was one of the most powerful—and dangerous—Goa'uld in history. Once a powerful System Lord, Anubis was banished by the other System Lords for 'unspeakable actions'. I guess everyone wonders what is evil enough to be unspeakable even to the Goa'uld. He was believed destroyed, but managed to escape and trick Oma Desala into helping him to ascend. When the Ancients learned how evil he was, they tried to force him to descend again, but only partially succeed, leaving him in an 'in-between' state. Because of his knowledge of the Ancients, Anubis has amassed unimaginable advanced technologies.



    Apophis

    Apophis is a relatively powerful Goa'uld System Lord. He has had the same host for at least 4-5000 years. He was one of the most powerful enemies of the Tau'ri and a personal enemy of SG-1. After his power was broken and he was captured by Sokar and held as a prisoner on Netu, he managed to use the opportunity created by the arrival of O'Neill, Daniel, Sam, and Martouf/Lantash, to first take command of Netu, then kill Sokar and take over his fleet, becoming more powerful than most other Goa'uld since Ra. He was first seen in the SG-1 pilot 'The Children of the Gods', were he was 'shopping' for hosts for his queen.

      Athena

      Minor Goa'uld working for Ba'al. She has once worked together with Qetesh. Not included in the poll, but you can vote for her under 'other'.



      Ba'al

      Ba'al was long one of the average Goa'uld System Lords, but rose to power after joining forces with Anubis. After the fall of many of the Goa'uld at the hands of the Replicators, Ba'al was the only known surviving System Lord and was rebuilding his power, among other ways through using clones of himself and his host. The last Ba'al clone (and last Goa'uld System Lord) was believed killed when he was extracted by the Tok'ra and crushed. First seen in SG-1 Summit/Last Stand.



      Bastet

      One of the Goa'uld System Lords. Bastet united forces with the System Lord Kali, and the two made a treaty with the Goa'uld Sobek. Then, at the celebratory feast, they moved against him. Rumor has it that Sobek's head still decorates Bastet's palace in Bubastis. Bastet suffered heavy losses against Anubis and voted to allow the powerful Goa'uld among the System Lords (SG1: "Summit", "Last Stand").



      Bynarr

      Minor Goa'uld in charge of Netu. Was seduced by Jolinar in order for her and her host Rosha to escape from the otherwise inescapable prison. Not included in the poll. You can vote for him under 'other'.




      Camulus

      Camulus was one of the Goa'uld System Lords. He was one of those who suggested the System Lords should request a formal meeting with the Tau'ri to discuss a treaty against Anubis. Camulus afterwards requested asylum on Earth since his armies had been decimated and he has nothing to go back to. (SG1: "New Order, Part 1", "New Order, Part 2")



      Cronus

      Cronus was a very powerful and influential Goa'uld System Lord. Teal'c's father was killed (in a slow and painful way) by Cronus, after ordering a necessary retreat. Teal'c and his mother were banished to Chulak, where Teal'c vowed to become First Prime of Apophis so that he could one day avenge his father (since Apophis was Cronus's enemy). Cronus was the Supreme System Lord who originally banished Sokar. (SG1: "Fair Game") Not only was Cronus an enemy of Teal'c, but also very much of the Tok'ra. He was the one that dispatched an ashrak to kill Jolinar.

        Hathor

        Hathor was the mate (and daughter) of Ra and the mother to Heru'ur. She was stranded on Earth for thousands of years, imprisoned in her sarcophagus. After a failed attempt to take over the SGC, using a powerful drug to make all men obey her, she left Earth to build her powerbase slowly, hiding for the other Goa'uld that she had returned. She seemed happy Ra had been killed, so she could take power on her own. She seduced to Daniel, in order to use some of his DNA to make her offspring more compatible with their future human hosts. She is a queen in both the royal sense and in the sense that she is the kind of Goa'uld that give birth to new Goa'uld larvae. She has a modified healing device, with which she is able to create Jaffa. She was first seen in the SG-1 episode 'Hathor'.



        Heru-ur

        This Goa'uld is the son of Hathor and Ra, and allied with Ra - he has Horus guards like his father. When he learned Thor's Hammer was gone, he attempted to attack the planet Cimmeria, but SG-1 succeeded in contacting Thor, incidentally initiating the contact between the Tau'ri and the Asgard. Heru'ur later attempted to ally with Apophis, but this was twarted by the Tok'ra and the Tau'ri.



        Imhotep

        Imhotep was a minor Goa'uld of little importance, but he managed to use the Free Jaffa movement to gain power, masquerading as his own former First Prime. He was very talented in martial arts (capoeira, it looks like) and would have won against Teal'c who challenged his leadership, had he not taunted the Jaffa with who he was.



        "Junior"

        'Junior' is the name given by O'Neill to Teal'c's prim'ta. There are actually two 'Junior' - the one Teal'c had until his son Rya'c got him, some time mid 1 season, and the second 'Junior' which is the one Teal'c has until he begins using tretonin in late 6th season ('The Changeling'). We first see the first 'Junior' in the episode of SG-1, 'Children of the Gods'. The second 'Junior' is first seen in the first season episode 'Bloodlines'.

          Kali

          She is a Goa'uld System Lord and one of those that takes part of the Goa'uld summit. She had formed an Alliance with Bastet, and the two System Lords had become a powerful force after the fall of Ra. Kali voted to allow Anubis to resume his place as a System Lord.



          Klorel

          Klorel is the son of Apophis and an unknown queen (Amaunet was still in a Jaffa - or was she temporarily back in one? We also do not know if she is only a royal queen or also a breeding queen). At the same time as Amaunet took Sha're as host, Klorel took her brother Skaa'ra as his host. Klorel was too young too always completely keep Skaa'ra surpressed and fought with him often. After the fall of Apophis, Klorel fled and crashed on New Tollana. Skaa'ra temporarily managed to get control and demanded a trial for right of use to the host body. Such a trial was held. Skaa'ra won and the Tok'ra removed Klorel and sent him to whatever planet he wanted. His current whereabouts is unknown.



          Marduk

          We first heard about this Goa'uld in the episode 'Thor's Hammer', where Kendra said she had been captured by his forces and made a host to her Goa'uld. This must have happened many thousand years ago, since we later (in 'The Tomb') met Marduk who had been imprisoned in a sarcophagus for at least 2000 years. he was incredibly evil, even for a Goa'uld, and his priests had eventually locked him up in a sarcophagus with a creature that constantly ate from him - just as the sarcophagus continued to heal him. Eventually he took the creature as host and waited for a better host, when the sarcophagus was opened and he escaped. He got a human host and could again try to flee his ziggurat and grab the eye of Tiamat which was some gadget he really liked. He is presumed to have been killed when the ziggurat was collapsed.



          Moloc

          This Goa'uld made the not very future-proof choice to kill all female Jaffa children, since he only wanted men for his battles. The Hak'tyl ('liberation') and their leader, the Jaffa priestess Ishta, managed to save many of these female children. He was killed by a hell-fire missile.



          Morrigan

          Morrigan was a Goa'uld System Lord. At the Goa'uld summit, she voted to let Anubis rejoin the System Lords, though her forces later joined those of Yu in opposing him. Morrigan later surrendered to Ba'al rather than be destroyed by the Kull warriors.



          Mot

          Mot was a Goa'uld who fought against Ba'al and was defeated some time in Earth's past, then going on to serve him as an underlord. He ruled over P4S-237 for a hundred years after Ba'al abandoned it, keeping the naquadah mining operation there from his master and taking the spoils as his own. (SG1: "Prophecy")

            Nerus

            Nerus worked for Ba'al and was the true genius behind the multi-stargate-dialing program (at least he claimed it was he). He was a minor Goa'uld, known for 'his many appetites'. He was also known as an inventor, and he claimed responsibility for inventing a lot of Goa'uld technologies. Nerus contacted the SGC with important information that an Ori attack had begun on Kallana where a force field had begun to expand across the planet, and he urged that Earth must attack the energy field with the most powerful weapons in their arsenal.
            They followed his advice and detonate a Mark IX warhead on Kallana. When the the weapon's energy caused the force field to envelop the entire planet, they realised Nerus had deceived them from the start. He had become an agent of the Ori, confident that one day he would share their power and ascend. He then helped them to acquire a beachhead in the Milky Way Galaxy. Nerus admitted his plan, thinking the Tau'ri would kill him and he would ascend, but they instead threw him in a dark prison cell and threatened him with starvation - and told him the Ori did not ascend their followers, not wanting to share the power.



            Nirrti

            Nirrti was a Goa'uld System Lord who experimented to discover advanced humans (hok'taur) to use for hosts. She tried various experiments including one which ended up with the only survivor being a young girl named Cassandra. (SG1: "Singularity") Later, when the System Lords agreed to negotiate with the Asgard to include Earth in the Protected Planets Treaty, Nirrti accompanied Cronus and Yu as part of the delegation. She used cloaking technology to make an attempt on Cronus's life, and blame Teal'c, since she wanted the Goa'uld to think the Tau'ri were untrustworthy and so not agree to the treaty. She was found out and taken back by the Goa'uld, as a prisoner. (SG1: "Fair Game")



            Olokun

            Olokun was one of the System Lords present at the Goa'uld summit where the Goa'uld discussed forming a new order to fight against their mutual unknown enemy, who was later revealed to be Anubis. Olokun had lost one of his motherships to Anubis when the Jaffa aboard surrendered the vessel and switched sides. Voted for permitting Anubis to rejoin the System Lords. (SG1: "Summit", "Last Stand")



            Osiris

            Osiris was a Goa'uld that once was a powerful System Lord. However, he and his queen and sister, Isis were betrayed by their brother Seth. They were removed from their hosts and placed in stasis jars for thousands of years. Osiris was eventually awoken when Sarah Gardner opened the jar, and he took her as as his host. (SG1: "The Curse") Taking advantage of the "favorable conditions" following the deaths of Apophis and Cronus, Osiris built up quite a powerful army. (SG1: "Summit")

              Qetesh

              Qetesh was a minor Goa'uld, allied with (and queen to) Ba'al. Her last host was Vala Mal Doran - she was extracted from her host by the Tok'ra and presumably killed. At some point Qetesh had worked with Athena, another ally of Ba'al's.



              Ra

              Ra was the most powerful Goa'uld, and the Supreme System Lord. Since he represented the Goa'uld and all their evilness, the Tok'ra took their name from him, meaning 'Against Ra'. He originally came to Earth more than 10000 years ago, dying because he could not find a good host that was easy to maintain. He found humans and took one of those as host, realising they were ridiculously easy to repair. So he used them to create his power base, probably selling slaves and hosts to the other Goa'uld who now all prospered and grew strong and many. After the rebellion on Earth, he took humans with him to Abydos and used that as his home world instead. He was killed by O'Neill and his team when they opened the Stargate and went to Abydos.



              Seth

              Seth is a Goa'uld that has hidden on Earth for at least 3000 years (according to Jacob/Selmak - more probably since they say since Ra left Earth, which is 5000 years ago). Since he has not had access to a sarcophagus during this time, he has changed hosts every 400 years or so. He has hidden out as the leader of small cults in various cultures around Earth. He uses nishta to brainwash the cult-members. Seen in the early third season SG-1 episode 'Seth'.



              Sokar

              Sokar was a powerful Goa'uld System Lord, who was also well known for his cruel and sadistic nature. He chose to emulate the Devil and formerly had an Unas host. He ruled the Goa'uld at some point, but a group lead by Ra conquered him. He was believed destroyed, but somehow survived. He conquered the world of Delmak, making it his homeworld, and terraformed its moon into a hell like world, naming it Netu. He was killed by the Tok'ra, when they detonated the moon Netu, while Sokar was close enough in his ha'tak to be caught in the tidal forces.

                Svarog

                A Goa'uld System lord that took part of the Goa'uld summit. He voted in favor of allowing Anubis to rejoin the System Lords. (SG1: "Last Stand", "Last Stand") He is not included in the poll, but you can vote for him under 'other'.



                Tanith

                Tanith is a young Goa'uld who had convince the Jaffa priestess who carried him that he had regretted being a Goa'uld and wanted to become a Tok'ra. He got the host Hebron and pretended to be Tok'ra, but treason was suspected when the Jaffa priestess Shau'nac died and it was later confirmed that Tanith had killed her and that he planned to get knowledge about the Tok'ra and send to his Goa'uld master, thereby gain power. However, the Tok'ra fed him misinformation and he was eventually killed.



                Unnamed in Adrian Conrad

                Adrian Conrad was a rich businessman who was dying from an incurable disease. Through his corporation he had learned about the Goa'uld and their healing abilities and decided to get one and see if he could use it to cure himself. He thought he would find a way to control the Goa'uld, but of course the Goa'uld ended up taking control of him when it took him as host. The Goa'uld was never given a name, but he later tried to escape from Earth by stealing a newly built (and not quite finished) spaceship, together with Colonel Simmons. This Goa'uld is not in the poll, but you can vote for him under 'other'.



                Unnamed in Stephen Caldwell

                This Goa'uld, working for the Trust, took Stephen Caldwell as host and tried to have Atlantis blown up, since the Trust thought it was too big a risk having this passage back to the Milky Way, for the Wraith to use. He is not in the poll, but you can vote for him under 'other'.



                Unnamed in Kianna Cyr

                This Goa'uld is working for Ba'al, and had hoped to gain an empire and power for herself, when she took the mission to get to the naquadria on Jonas Quinn's planet, Kelowna. However, the Goa'uld fell in love with Jonas and she gave her life to save him and the others. She was clearly no usual Goa'uld - she was not truly power hungry and even made jokes about herself. It might have been interesting to have her live and she if she would have become Tok'ra. She is not in the poll, but you can vote for her under 'other'.



                Yu

                Yu-huang Shang Ti, the Jade Emperor, also known as Yu the Great or simply Yu, was one of the oldest Goa'uld System Lords. The first time we saw him, he was part of the delegation that negotiated Earth's entry into the Asgard's Protected Planets Treaty, along with Cronus and Nirrti. He partially favored the treaty, as his interests no longer resided in that area of the Milky Way. Yu voted against letting Anubis becoming a System Lord again (and had been among those who had banished him in the first place), and later continued to fight him. (SG1: "Summit", "Last Stand") Yu was in the end very old and weak, and starting showing signs of senility. His First Prime Oshu had to take control of his Empire to keep it from falling into anarchy - he believe Yu was too weak to take another host, which might have saved him otherwise, at least for a time. Yu was not as megalomaniacal and obsessed with total domination as the other Goa'uld, and also did not portray himself as a god. He was willing to cooperate with the Tau'ri and the Tok'ra.



                Zipacna

                Zipacna was an Underlord of Apophis. When Klorel was placed on Triad to determine priority of the body of Skaa'ra, Zipacna served as his Archon. Zipacna used the opportunity to tag the Tollans ion cannons and later attacked. Only through the help of Lya and SG-1 was the Tollan saved. (SG1: "Pretense") After the death of Apophis, Zipacna entered the service of Anubis. He extended Osiris the offer to represent Anubis at the High Council of System Lords. Zipacna himself led an attack on the Tok'ra base on Revanna, searching for the symbiote poison. (SG1: "Summit", "Last Stand")

                        I liked Yu because, though he was evil, he seemed more reasonable than the rest of the Goaul'd. If I had to get captured by one I would choose him.
