**Za'lgatoth**, better known as **Zalgo**, is a Tulpic embodiment of chaos and horror within the Creepypasta mythos.

## Overview

Zalgo lives in a palace made out of tortured glass, a palace he built alongside his legions of Zalgoids whilst trapped behind the Wall. He forged these Zalgoids from the tears of the damned, he forged them to act as his servants while behind the Wall and as his eyes when within Creation. Zalgo is unable to interact with reality due to being stuck behind "the Wall", aka the barrier between reality and fiction.

Zalgo is only able to effect fictional media, a power he uses to keep some level of hold on reality. Some signs that a piece of media has been effected by Zalgo are obvious and out in the open. Usually it will involve mature themes in childrens media, eyeless characters crying blood, black tentacles, and various levels of gore. Characters can also be seen with large gaping maws, screaming "He Comes" alongside any and all text being scrambled. An example:

## Appearance

Zalgo is an amorphous black blob with seven mouths, six of which are constantly singing, and with a varying amount of tentacles acting as limbs. Zalgo has no eyes, although he is still able to see despite the lack of these organs. In his right hand (ie a tentacle that acts as a hand) he holds a dead star, in his left hand he holds an candle whose light is shadow, his left hand is also stained with the blood of his brother, Am Dhaegar.

Above his body floats his "head", a head that doesn't actually belong to him. This is the skull of Am Dhaegar that he managed to steal before he was sealed away.

## Personality

Zalgo is a cruel and heartless being, there are absolutely no thoughts of mercy that have ever come up in his mind. He wishes to end everything for reasons unknown, perhaps he wishes to bring the universe back to a perfectly ordered state. No living beings means no chaos, no chaos means absolute order.

## Powers and Abilities

The power that Zalgo holds is overwhelming to any mundane entity. He has the power to end entire multiverses and perhaps even the Megaverse merely through the act of singing out of all of his mouths. After being trapped behind the Wall, Zalgo is only able to affect pieces of media, such as comics and video games. Even when behind the Wall his power is still so great that this has accidentally created beings on their own.

### Weaknesses

Despite his overwhelming power, he is considered to be a joke by other more powerful dark Gods and demonic entities, like Nyarlathotep or even Satan. Even only counting Tulpas, the Bogeyman is treated as far more dangerous and feared being.

## History

Zalgo wasn't always a deity of pure chaos, at one point he was a god of pure order being fought by his brother Am Dhaegar, who was a being of pure chaos. They fought and they fought each blow causing cataclysmic results. It was only when Zalgo fatally wounded Am Dhaegar did the fight end, staining Zalgo's left hand with his brothers blood.

However, order without any hint of chaos causes order to be just as bad as pure chaos. Zalgo became more violent, wanting destruction, pain, and death across universes. Before Am Dhaegar truly died, he managed to stop Zalgo by trapping him behind the Wall that separates fiction and reality, where Zalgo made his palace.

Although he is now only able to interact with fiction, he can still send other beings to cause torment and misery in reality, such as the Zalgoids and most predominately the S.

## Myths and Legends

Zalgo was a character created by the *Something Awful* user Goon Schmorky. It was a phrase used in his comic edits where a character would say "Zalgo" before something horrific would happen. Zalgo eventually evolved to become an eldritch god, being depicted as a lovecraftian Satan-like figure.

## Trivia

* The first mundane entity that spoke about Zalgo was Goon Shmorky.
* It is warned not to say his full name six or seven times.
* Given that he was described as taking the eyes of people when stealing their souls, it is possible that he is responsible for the creation of Eyeless Jack.
* He has been compared to other dark entities, like Satan, Nyarlathotep, and Abaddon and others.
* While known as a dangerous and sadistic entity to the general public, to the older supernatural world, he is treated as a joke.
	+ Beings like Tartarus and Nyarlathotep think of him as a "brat playing in the big league".
	+ Even worse for his reputation, the Majestic 12 wasn't even bothered to even classify it.
	+ It has been implied that this is apart of Zalgo's plan, by making others think he's weak, they will make themselves weak by proxy. Those who underestimate are much easier to destroy than those who fear but are prepared.
