Added DiffLines:
* InterspeciesAdoption: Zaddik acted as a father figure to a Wraith child, who actively tries to resist her natural urges for his sake.

* BizarreAlienBiology: Zaddik's experience with Ellia allows Beckett to determine that the Wraith possess a human digestive system because they consume food in a more conventional manner as children, only developing the need to feed in their teens.

The others manage to kill the adult Wraith without too much effort, but not before it has fed again, bringing the villagers out in force. Unfortunately, the retrovirus has had exactly the opposite effect on Ellia of the one intended—it starts overwriting her ''human'' DNA and turning her into something more like the Iratus bug, with vastly increased strength and scary claw-like hands. Zaddik tries to reason with her, but in her animalistic state she throws him off, wounding him fatally.
