Unas
Summary
According to a theory developed by Drs. Daniel Jackson and Robert Rothman, the Unas evolved on the same planet as the Goa'uld and were, therefore, the first hosts to the symbiotes. Eventually, however, the Goa'uld preferred to take human beings as hosts because their bodies were more easily maintained. Because of their physical strength, however, the Unas became slaves of the Goa'uld, primarily used to mine the precious mineral naquadah upon which the Goa'uld's technology depends. The Unas were introduced in the episode 1.10 "Thor's Hammer".
Stargate References
The first Unas which SG-1 encountered was on the planet Cimmeria, in the episode, 1.10 "Thor's Hammer". The Asgard had protected Cimmeria with a device which would detect Goa'uld symbiotes as soon as the host or Jaffa stepped through the stargate and transport the individual to a labyrinth inside a mountain. The only way out of the labyrinth was for the individual to pass through "Thor's Hammer", a device which would kill the symbiote, but leave the host unharmed. Only the host could leave the labyrinth alive. According to Teal'c, the Unas were a species which were believed to have been the first hosts, born of the same primordial waters as the Goa'uld. This belief had become a myth among the Jaffa, but proved to be the basis of the theories put forth by Drs. Daniel Jackson and Robert Rothman concerning the planet P3X-888 (4.08 "The First Ones").
This large Unas had been trapped in the labyrinth at least for ten seasons since that is how long ago Kendra had been in the labyrinth when she was freed of her Goa'uld symbiote by the Hammer. He ate the others who were trapped with him to stay alive. The Unas had great regenerative abilities, enhanced by the healing powers of the symbiote. He spoke to Jack and Teal'c who had been trapped there as soon as they stepped through the stargate and Teal'c's larval Goa'uld was detected. This Unas said he was "The First One" and that even though his kind were few, they ruled over millions. Jack and Teal'c were able to kill the Unas through the use of Earth weapons and the Hammer. Kendra lead Daniel and Carter to the labyrinth to reunite SG-1. In order to free Teal'c, Jack asked Daniel to destroy the Hammer.
