Varriss is a character featured in the fictional universe of the television series Stargate SG-1. Within the context of the show, Varriss is portrayed as a Goa'uld, a parasitic alien species that enslaves other races by implanting their larvae into the brains of sentient beings. These hosts then become puppets for the Goa'uld, who use their advanced technology and powerful armies to conquer planets.

Varriss specifically appears as a minor antagonist, often serving as a lieutenant or subordinate to more powerful Goa'uld System Lords. Their role typically involves commanding troops, enforcing the will of their superior, and engaging in conflicts with the Tau'ri, the human inhabitants of Earth, and their allies. Like other Goa'uld, Varriss is depicted as arrogant, cruel, and driven by a desire for power and control.

The character of Varriss is presented as one of many Goa'uld who populate the galaxy, illustrating the constant threat posed by this species to interstellar peace. Their appearances are usually brief, serving to advance the plot of specific episodes by providing a tangible obstacle for the protagonists to overcome. Varriss embodies the typical Goa'uld characteristics of deceit and ruthlessness that are central to the antagonists in the Stargate SG-1 narrative.
