Z͠a̛'l͘ga̶t҉ot̡h, better known as Z̤͂â̢ḷ͊g̹̓ȯ̘, is an internet phenomenon and a meme-status urban legend often seen as the personification of chaos and evil, in a similar way to the later adaptations of the late legendary horror author H.P. Lovecraft, cruel, sadistic, manipulative, predatory, misanthropic demon who only seems to torment humans just because he despises them.
