Glau is best known for portraying the mysterious and knowledge-hungry River Tam in Firely, a role that she reprised in Joss Whedon's 2005 film Serenity. Despite the big screen appearance, however, Glau never became a proper movie star, as she only appeared in several made-for-television movies during the mid-2000s.

Inside special cells, they combine the oxygen with a substance called luciferin to make light with almost no heat. They use this light, called bioluminescence, to light up the ends of their abdomen.
