The Sekhmet were a species of feline Goa'uld hosts mostly utilized by Bastet. (System Lord Plot Hooks) They were roughly 6.5 feet tall, with short soft fur covering their bodies. They had pointed snouts, triangular swiveling ears and seemed to resemble a house cat in appearance. They had whiskers, sharp teeth and thin, razor-sharp claws on each hand. It is suggested that Bastet enjoyed using the Sekhmet over the Unas as a host, in the time before humans became the 'standard'. Bast Guards were said to take visual inspiration from the Sekhmet species, in the design of their helmets and weaponry.
