Junior

Teal'c's symbiote, a larval Goa'uld, named "Junior" by Jack O'Neill. The symbiote saved Teal'c's life a multitude of times over throughout the years the Jaffa maintained and incubated him -- though as a Goa'uld it showed its hatred for him more than once.

Eventually the symbiote was killed while trying to sustain the lives of both Teal'c and his master, Bra'tac, after a horrific massacre on planet Kresh'ta. From that incident forward Teal'c and Bra'tac lived without symbiotes with the aid of the drug tretonin.
