The Goa'uld word for a human whose powers have been awakened: healing, moving objects, reading minds. The Goa'uld Nirrti spent centuries trying to make one.
Overview
Nirrti wanted a perfect host, a human capable of anything. To get one, she experimented on whole villages, with no regard for human life.
Worth knowing
Cassandra, Janet Fraiser's ward, was altered by Nirrti too. The hok'tar is an idea that haunts Stargate: forced human evolution, and its cost.
