| Iratus Bug | A type of invertebrate insect that is native to worlds in the Pegasus galaxy. They are small black carapaced creatures that share the Wraith's tendency of draining the life from other living beings. They accomplish this by jumping and latching onto the neck of a creature where they wrapped themselves around the body after which they begin to drain it of life. Physical attempts to remove this bug only make it tighten it's hold over it's prey. They prefer dark and dank conditions where they form their nests. In such conditions, they typically gather in large numbers with several egg sacs suspended in the ceiling of a cave. They react violently to the presence of other life forms and treat them as a threat. However, they are not aggressive to a creature containing their DNA, such as a Wraith, or a human who has been infected either deliberately or by accident. |

| Tau'ri | The term used by the inhabitants of the Milky Way to refer to Earth and Human beings from Earth. The word means "first ones" or "those from the first world" in Goa'uld in the sense that human life began on Earth. While it was originally applied to all human beings in the Milky way, the term has come to apply specifically to the humans who currently live on Earth as the Stargate Program progressed and began to inflict more and more serious blows to the Goa'uld Empire. The Tau'ri have become known as the Atlanteans by the races of the Pegasus Galaxy due to their inhabitation of the city of Atlantis, and Earth has been referred to as "Midgard" by the peoples of the planets under protection of the Asgard. Most of the time, the majority of protagonists in the fight against galactic opressors are of the Tau'ri, fighting a multi front war against several other major races. When the Asgard race became close to extinction they declared the Tau'ri as the "Fifth Race", an allusion to the now broken Alliance of the Four Great Races. |

| Wraith | A vampirous, hive based species that harvest on the "life force" of other beings for nourishment through suckers on their palms. Countless worlds in the Pegasus galaxy live in constant fear of the Wraith, who return to periodically cull their human herds. They possess powerfull telepathic abilities and have phenomenal physical strength. Their eyes glow in the darkness giving them night vision and thermal vision abilities. The majority of this species is male with the females acting in the higher echelons of Wraith society as "Queens". Not unlike ants or bees, they have workers, soldiers, and drones. The lowest being distinctly different, they lack intelligence and are larger and much more muscular. It is known that all Wraiths start their life feeding on food for nourishment, it is only until they go through "puberty" or their version of it, that food no longer sustains them. The Wraith were created when Iratus Bug DNA mixed with Ancient DNA, hypothesized as an Iratus Bug fed off of an Ancient and infected the Ancient with the Iratus Bugs' need to feed. Their feeding mechanism is an organ that is located on their hand and it injects a special enzyme during feeding that makes their victims stronger, faster, and more agile in large doses. |
