The strong but primitive Unas were the first hosts of the Goa'uld, and evolved on the same homeworld. Many still serve Goa'uld to this day as hosts and slaves, most notably in the service of Sokar who, before his destruction, used Unas as his envoys, threatening the people of his domain. Sokar is even said to have used an Unas as his own host body.

Those Unas who are free from Goa'uld oppression thrive on their homeworld of P3X-888, where they primarily dwell in caves and feed on the larval form of the Goa'uld symbiotes. Unas, though primitive, have a high potential of intelligence. After thousands of years they have developed means to avoid implantation by the symbiotes, including a necklace that protects the areas through which a symbiote may attempt to implant itself.

Unas have a fairly simple language of more than fifty different words, many of which Dr. Daniel Jackson has catalogued and learned to speak himself. The hierarchy of Unas is run by an Alpha-male leadership. It is unclear whether or not the species believes in a higher power, but they do have a religious system of sorts, incorporating chants into their daily lifestyle. Their creative areas are not lacking, as the Unas create primitive art within their cave dwellings.

Unas have not been found on many planets but a few abandoned archeological structures have hinted to the fact that some Unas may have even figured out gate travels. It is considered that if they where smart enough to figure out how to use their stargate then it's possible that they may have evolved into more articulate creatures.
