Description
Around 2004 I was in the middle of my "Stargate SG-1" obsession phase. Among other things, I was fascinated by the design of the Goa'uld symbiotes - this exotic mixture of snake and fish with its odd mouth. I liked how they looked menacing and at the same time kinda cute (at least, to my family and me ).

So I decided to make a life-size plush of the adolescent / "fresh out of its Jaffa" form. I like this form best because of the dark color and red eyes which are absent from the infants or the adults that have been inside their host for a long time.
By the way, my plushie identifies as a Tok'ra - I figured that would be a safer choice than inviting a wannabe god into my home. Her name is Li'jip.

For reference, I mainly used the episode 3x01 "Into The Fire" which shows such a symbiote in great detail during a longer scene. I fondly remember sitting in the back of my music class while sketching the pattern and calculating the circumference needed for the body. Also, I can still see myself digging through the scrap boxes in a small local fabric shop which happened to have just the perfect materials for me.
Ahh, good times.

The velvet used to be a deep emerald green which sadly faded to a grayish shade of olive over a couple of years. But on the bright side, it actually looks closer to the real thing that way. Back when I found it, I also instantly loved the creased texture of the pile which reminded me of reptile scales.
The inside of the mouth is just the underside of the velvet, while the large fins are made from a silvery fabric which appears to be polyester.
I used red plastic beads for the eyes, and the teeth are made from polymer clay.
