Goa'uldとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Goa'uld (pronounced [ɡoˑɑˈʔuːld] go-AH-oold, commonly shortened to /ɡoʊˈuːld/ go-OOLD or /ˈɡuːld/ goold in English) are a fictional extraterrestrial symbiotic species 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 human. The resulting creatures are a powerful race bent on galactic conquest and domination, largely without pity, compassion or remorse. They are collectively the greatest extraterrestrial threat to Earth in the first eight seasons of Stargate SG-1 known to the Stargate Command (SGC). They are pejoratively called "snakes" or "snakeheads" by Jack O'Neill. The Goa'uld are the main enemies of SG-1 for most of the series, until they are replaced in this capacity by the Ori in seasons 9 and 10. They also appear in the Stargate Atlantis episode "Critical Mass", and in the DVD movie Stargate: Continuum.
