Zako Arhap

**Zako Arhap the Monstrosity** is a joke character in Hallowteens.

## Origins

Zako Arhap is an odd fella. Many people found him “weird”. In fact not many people know the whole backstory about this character.

All that is known about Zako Arhap is that he is slow, oblivious and not very smart but he knows the values of right and wrong and when he sees something is wrong he gets “serious” and tries to act like a hero even though by the end of this all it would do was embarrasses him. He also doesn’t tolerate rudeness and rather acts like polite although maybe too polite as when he gets phrase he would go on and on and talk like he is some loyal brave knight.

He is mostly seen playing board games usually involving mystical creatures like dragons, wizards, dwarfs etc.

On Halloween night he woke up late, the festival was starting so in a rush soon as he woke up he didn’t bother to think what kind of monster he would be. He just picked a bunch of random parts of different costumes in a rush, making himself look like a complete total mess.

The curse struck that time and Zako became a creature of mixed parts and his voice was distorted, low pitched and was spoken backwards therefore no one knows what he is saying. But the biggest twist was…he is unaware what has happened to him.

When he looked in the mirror he said to himself that his costume is very “lifelike” that it would win him the festival for sure. Although he does question why he can’t get the “costume” off.

He walked out just in time to see all the carnage and seeing Wiseman make his announcement. Although Zako believes that it’s all a game.

He also accidently discovered he has new powers. But he believes that the parts of the costumes “functions”. He decides to play along with Wisemans “game”
