Endast människor på lång sikt. Från Joseph Mallozzis blogg (verkställande producent och författare till Stargate ):
Halo Luver writes: “1. Are Wraith capable of drawing nourishment from other rational creatures besides humans? Perhaps Asgard or Goua’ld symbiotes?
Does mass have an effect on how much nourishment a wraith takes from its victim?” Answers: 1. Although a wraith is able to derive some nourishment from other creatures (like, say, an Asgard), in the long run it will need to feed on humans to ensure its survival. 2. Good question. I think it’s not so much mass but maturity.
