10 Worst Ways To Die In The Stargate Universe

1. Becoming A Meal For The Wraith

The Wraith were introduced at the beginning of Stargate Atlantis, and they were as nasty, if not more, than the Goa'uld. The Wraiths are a race of creatures who live, seemingly forever, off their victims' life-force energy, and they accomplish this by farming the galaxy's humans.

Normally, they remain in hibernation, but when the Atlantis Expedition wakes them up, all hell breaks loose, and the Wraith begin a feeding frenzy, endangering the galaxy's population of humans. The thing about the Wraith isn't how frightening they look or how powerful their technology is; it's the manner in which they feed.

A Wraith feeds by placing its open palm against a human's chest, which begins the process. They literally suck the life out of them through an opening in their hand. They can take a small amount of life or all of it if they so choose.

The process is excruciating for the victim, who feels their life energy being pulled from them. This results in rapid aging, and if the Wraith completes the process, the victim dies painfully, ultimately becoming a skeletal desiccated husk completely devoid of life.
