Talk:Wraith

Changes
I'm still working on this article and other ones like it but I hope it's satisfactory. I moved the images of the different "Wraith castes" into the society section as I wanted pictures of the glowing eyes, perception and young Wraith to be in physiology. Hope that's alright. Also, does anyone have a picture of the Wraith Commander from Broken Ties when he was about to feed on Sheppard? You get an very good shot of the feeding organ in his hand I think and I think an image of that might be quite good in the Feeding section of the article. —Darth Batrus 11:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Easiest way to Destroy all wraith
Well, the most easy way is to lead them all to the Sanctuary planet and be destroyed by Chaya Sar, My father said it was possible, but the producers wouldn't want the series to end too soon :P -- StylaX 00:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * They could also just shove nukes through the Stargate to every Wraith planet... or use the Horizon. Although I would really like to see the Daedalus, Apollo, Odyssey, and possibly the Phoenix going together on some hit and run ops... or all fighting in a massive space battle, with possibly the Travelers as well.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Or maybe Rodney could try tweaking the Attero device to not effect Stargates. Another dilemma is that if they really get the Wraith on the run, what will happen to Todd? He's a Wraith alright, but would they really kill someone who repeatedly lent a hand to them? I thought the Tau'ri prided themselves on having a sense of honor...--Amitakartok 16:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

More like a sense of humor :D -- 120.28.8.27 03:11, September 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Um, obviously Chaya Sar's power has limits. All ancients are powerful (being pure energy) but I really doubt that one ancient, or even one Ori, could kill every single wraith. And also, it would be extremely hard to bring every single wraith to one planet. All it would take would be one cloning facility and one wraith and the cullings would begin again. (But the wraith should still kill everyone, yes, HAHAHAH (crazed/evil laugh) I wish I was a wraith worshiper. Venators (talk) (Contribs) 05:19, September 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * From what we know know here's an easy way to defeat the wraith had it been employed from the beginning.
 * Perfect the Hoffan drug to a 0% fatality rate and deliver it to all Human worlds
 * Upload the Avenger Virus to the Pegasus Stargate Network
 * Turn on the Attero device with ships in orbit protecting it
 * Reactivate the Asuran Attack Command and continuously turn it back on if it's ever turned off or have a way it won't turn off for 1000 years
 * Once this is done all you have to do is sit back and watch. The Hoffan drug will protect all human worlds from a culling. The Attero device along side the Avenger virus will completely stop wraith transportation. With the Asurans constantly attacking the wraith its only a matter of time before they die under assault or starvation. This would be even better if we knew the secret weakness to wraith technology.  ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 22:04, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * they have already lost half their hives and are starving to the point of fighting over the remaining humans in the galaxy. eventually they would either kill each other or end up so weakened that the tau'ri+travelers will be able to own them no problem. —Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 03:30, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

About the feeding
The way that the wraith feeds on the humans is completely gross but I can't stop myself from watching. It is real creepy how they age when they are being fed on though. Lt col. Shepperd looked really old and ugly when he was fed on. I would hate to be fed on. It would be like my worst nightmare.

Wraith entertainment?
In Vegas, the Wraith seemed to develop a particular fondness for loud rock music. Maybe he was enjoying it?
 * Maybe compared to Wraith rock music, the Earth rock music he listened to was actually the Wraith equivalent of classical music. Now there's an idea :) &mdash;Anubis 10545 06:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Wraith hunger
Is there a limit how much a Wraith can feed? I mean, they feed when they are hungry or cruel but we know that excess feeding boosts their regenerative capabilities. Is there an upper limit of life-force a Wraith can suck out until they are "full" and can't feed anymore? We don't even know if there's a lower limit as all we saw is that if a Wraith is completely deprived of food for months, it will go delusional from starving but do not die. So I don't think there is a way to starve the Wraith to death.--Amitakartok 16:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Worshipers
I would prefer being a wraith worshiper than a goa'uld worshiper because the wraith can give you eternal life, but all the goa'uld can do for you is implant you with symbiotes. Wraith should find Earth in an episode and cull heaps of people, then take over the milky way. Yes, the wraith should rule all, HAHAHAHAH (crazed/evil laugh) Venators (talk) (Contribs) 05:14, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * except, a symbiote would essentially give you eternal life as well...—Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 22:30, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Most Goa'uld worshippers are never taken as hosts, the Goa'uld population is far to small for it, on the other hand you would have to mine naquadah, but not everybody has got to be a miner--99.141.180.167 18:59, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

don't they ever get bored?
is that all they do? feed, sleep for a hundred years, wake up, feed some more, go back to sleep? —Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 01:47, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * There based off of insects they may not find a reason to do anything else with their extremely long lives. ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 02:03, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * They also hunt runners, at least the caretakers probably do just because they are bored.--99.148.27.181 21:21, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * wait, what's preventing them from just going back into hibernation to avoid the current crisis? 12:05, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because the wraith factions are afraid that if one Hive ship coalition goes into hibernation, another will take advantage of this and try to cull their territory for themselves, they cannot trust each other to go into hibernation at the same time, unlike the way they usually do it in their normal feeding cycle where all of the wraith coalitions only go into hibernation when there are too few humans to cull and they can thus trust each other.--99.148.24.180 14:36, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Interesting Question
Can the wraith feed on animals? They have shown that they are able to drain the life force of fellow wraith, so surely the feeding process can work on other mammals as well.
 * they could probably feed on anything except plants — 03:39, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * then they really aren't as desperate as they claim! of coarse it is a lot easier to get ate humans for food than any other animal. we don't hide like other animals--99.148.27.181 21:23, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * if the wraith were able to adapt at all, they would have used their cloning facility to clone humans for food so they wouldn't need to fight over the rapidly depleting natural food supply. — 22:27, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * When did they feed on other wriath, except when they converted a wraith into a human, as a test, then feed on him, to make sure it worked? Also, cloning human's, yes, I'm sure its possible, but it takes a lot of really dedicated labor to do it. The massive cloning facility they used to create massive numbers of wraith during the war, required a whole lot of energy, a ZPM, to work. They could do the slow "normal" cloning process, but that would take years to create, not worth doing unless they are desperate. Baal may have been able to mass produce himself, fullgrown, but the Wraith may not have such good cloning technology. They do lack a lot of other technologies the Goa'uld have.74.129.75.153 01:37, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Feeding on other wraith said to be one in Season One's The Defiant One. It was how the Wraith survived 10k years without food. Wraith feeding on each other is later mentioned many other times through SGAs history.  ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 01:56, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Todd could have easily modified the cloning facility to clone humans after he stole those zpms from Asuras. instead, he tried to use it to make a wraith army which would only exacerbate the food problem by creating more demand for it. all he needed was to find some source of human dna like Michael did to clone Beckett. — 04:03, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * One planet of clones for all of the hive ships in the Galaxy to feed from? that seems like more than a little bit of a Logistical stretch--99.141.180.167 18:54, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

reproduction
apparently its known that warriors are bred/cloned by the queen, but how are other wraith born...i would assume theyre also "created" on hives/cloning facilities instead of sexual reproduction like the article says — 06:25, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
