In the science fictiontelevision series Stargate SG-1, the Furlings are an alien race. Little is known about them, save that they were a member of the "alliance of four great races", along with the Ancients, Asgard, and Nox. However, occasional artifacts attributed to the Furlings have been identified. Furling writing has also been seen in the show in the first-season episode "The Torment of Tantalus" along with the writings of the other great races.
It has also been suggested that they are a peaceful race. In the sixth-season episode "Paradise Lost" it is revealed that the Furlings had set up a Utopian community without weapons or advanced technology. But nobody is living on that planet nowadays.
Furling writing has also been seen on Heliopolis along with the writings of the other great races.
The colony was destroyed by a Goa'uld who was able to smuggle in seeds for a plant that produced a paranoia-inducing chemical, causing the inhabitants to go insane and kill each other.
The Furlings appeared to be the mysterious race that helped seed the Madronans on their homeworld and possibly suggests that the Touchstone was Furling technology.
