==Summary==
The Xar-Ggothua, also known as the Hands of God, are major antagonists in the Xombie webseries.
It's hinted that the zombie virus, Nekrosis, was created as a weapon by the Xar-Ggothua, probably for the purpose of taking over the world, though the three main grunts hint that they're seeking a serum of some kind, to which the existence of Variants aids them greatly. In spite of their appearances and technology, Word of God states that they aren't aliens in the traditional extra-terrestrial sense. It is directly stated in the comic that Nekrosis isn't actually a virus but part of a hive mind race of pathogens. The Xar-Ggothua themselves are one of a few evolved, super-intelligent versions of Nekrosis (alongside the Xth-Nthogg and the Xi-Thyndri), and even they have their own master in the Xin-Jithoth.
Three Xar-Ggothua grunts or soldiers (also referred to as Generals by Nephthys in the novel) are featured as the main threat in the original web series from Chapter 5 onwards.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: At least 
Name: Xar-Ggothua, Hands of God, Vulture (nickname given to their ship)
Origin: Xombie
Gender: Unknown, likely genderless
Age: Unknown, possibly thousands of years (It's implied they were around at the time of ancient Egypt)
Classification: Cyborgs, Hyper-evolved pathogens
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, possibly Immortality (Type 7), Energy Projection (The Xar-Ggothua's armors are equipped with powerful zero-point energy blasters. Their ship also shoots bullet-like laser projectiles and explosive missiles.), Flight (via their ship, and their drones can fly as well), Electricity/Light Manipulation (Their armors and real eyes generate blue light, and electricity runs through their bodies when their armors fall off, or when their bodies are destroyed.), Information Analysis (With their armors' scanners they could tell Dirge kept his body healed using a variety of embalming fluids, listing down each one.) Body Control (Can form tendrils out of their natural arms.), Biological Manipulation (Only over zombies [presumably] and via tech. Though the first three Xar-Ggothua grunts in the series didn't try this, the Xth-Nthogg/Xenopoda Canini bloodhounds related to the Xar-Ggothua could make Dirge "alive" again, granting him the ability to feel again and causing him intense pain from feeling his body rotting away.)
Attack Potency: At least Building level, possibly higher (Fought ChimaeraChapter 6: The Hands of God and NephthysChapter 8: Death Under Wraps with their armor on, and one battled Dirge without itChapter 9: Falling ForeverChapter 10: Hallowed Grounds), likely higher with technology (Their ship's self-destruction created a huge explosion and they likely possess even stronger weapons. Their armor's blasters should also be more powerful, but they never get the chance to use them.)
Speed: Transonic reactions and combat speed (Comparable to Dirge, Chimaera and Nephthys, albeit slightly inferior.), plus Transonic flight speed via their ship (Can fly at this speedChapter 6: The Hands of God)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Building level, possibly higher
Durability: At least Building level, possibly higher (Tanked this explosion and shrugged off many strikes from Chimaera and Nepththys. Even without their armor, one took several blows from Dirge and was barely pushed backChapter 9: Falling ForeverChapter 10: Hallowed Grounds)
Stamina: At least Superhuman, possibly Infinite (Undead never get winded nor feel any pain.Chapter 4: Relics & ReptilesChapter 10: Hallowed GroundsXombie Reanimated #4Xombie Reanimated #5 Being genetically related to Nekrosis, this potentially applies to the Xar-Ggothua as well, though once Nepththys cuts through their armor they do appear to sometimes react in pain.)
Range: Extended Melee Range (About the same height as Dirge if not slightly taller), several Meters with energy attacks, weapons and tendrils
Standard Equipment: Their armors, drones and ship. Their armors also come equipped with razor sharp spinning blades which were incredibly effective against Cerberus and Nephthys, slicing them with ease.
Intelligence: At least Genius (Potentially created Nekrosis or have the knowledge to have created it, hivemind-like pathogens that can revive the dead and consequently wiped out a good majority of the human race. The level of technology they utilize should at least make them this intelligent.)
Weaknesses: None notable, though upon losing their armors they don't appear to be able to communicate and become pretty feral.
