The Wraith pathogen is a core element of Wraith biotechnology.
Overview
The Wraith pathogen is designed to infect a host and grow outward from there, using the host as a sort of central processor. As the pathogen spreads, it manifests tendrils outside the body which search for raw materials. The tendrils break down and consume raw materials as they expand over an area, eventually growing into whatever structure it was meant to become. The host's brain is likewise slowly consumed, until nothing remains but the mind of the organism. The pathogen is capable of sentience and higher reasoning, such as defending itself against attacks.
The tendrils will usually attach to nearby energy sources in order to feed the pathogen's growth. Its body consists of a bio-polymer with metallic traces present in its form which eventually harden, similar to the growth of an exoskeleton on a beetle. The organic elements were resistant to energy, heat and even radiation.
It was speculated that the particular pathogen encountered by Atlantis was meant to grow into a Hive ship. The developing pathogen stated that it had no name and its designation would be given to it after it reached maturity.[/class]

Wraith Pathogen
"It's a biopolymer, similar to a polysaccharide but with organo-metallic compounds mixed in." —Carson Beckett
