"The most disgusting creatures you've ever seen in your life."

―Eli Wallace

This nocturnal creature was encountered on an unnamed jungle planet by the Destiny Expedition. Little is known about them, except that their blood is green and their bites are venomous. Their venom contains certain antibodies which can be used to kill the microbial infection caused by tainted drinking water harvested from "Hoth". It is unknown if they are naturally predators, but they can easily kill humans by literally burrowing through their bodies. During the day they live in nests, much like termite mounds, that smell of sulfur. They are extremely aggressive at night. (SGU: "Time")

Alternate realities

• As the off-world team quarantined themselves on the Jungle planet, the creatures attacked during the night. Eventually, these creatures would kill all but Lt. Scott and Dr. Rush. Rush, due to an attempt to return to Destiny during a creature attack, inadvertently traveled back in time while Scott presumably followed some time later along with the Kino, resetting the timeline.
• During the attempt to obtain the creatures' venom, several soldiers, including Greer and Young, were killed by them. This timeline was also reset by Lt. Scott in the same manner but with additional instructions. (SGU: "Time")
