Talk:The Desert Tarantula

During the night, the marines are attacked by a giant beast, which they cannot see fully. Several of them are killed and their flesh is completely removed. The marines find the Iraqi, who is the member of a cult known as The Assyrians. He tells them the history of the monster and that every time a war breaks out here, the monster reawakens. O'Neill later has a personal encounter with the beast, who he discovers to be a monstrous tarantula. Soon the marines must confront it, resulting in several more deaths. Soon they have to ask the Iraqi army for assistance, and the two armies go out hunting the beast. They can't find it, but it sneaks up on them in the night and kills a whole lot more. Finally, they manage to corner it against the rocks and shoot it to death. They believe it's dead, but it suddenly attacks them again. The Iraqi tells them that the monster is after the terrorists, who started the war. After the terrorist camp is slaughtered, Ski afixes the beast with a silver stake, killing it once and for all. The war ends shortly after.
