Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Main/Zalgo[]

Zalgo is Yawgmoth.[]

Zalgo is Amatsu Mika Boshi of Japanese Mythology[]

  • Amatsu Mika Boshi is said to be the dark essence of chaos from before creation and when the heavens and earth were born, it was shattered and now exists as fragments within all life and is a corrupting force from within. It also explains the Body Horror aspect, and makes it even worse when you realize WE'RE ALL ASPECTS OF ZALGO!

Zalgo got the Androsynth[]

Zalgo is Giygas.[]

Think about it. Giygas makes people and animals act in an unnaturally violent manner. Plus, when you finally approach him, the player characters have all been ported into robot... suit... things. Robots can't bleed out of their faces!

Zalgo is The Slender Man.[]

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Alternatively, The Slender Man is Zalgo's underling[]

Alernatively again, Zalgo is Slender Man's underling.[]

I like it better this way.

Alternatively again again, Zalgo and Slender Man are bros.[]

This way is cuter.

Alernatively again again again Slender Man, the Rake, and Zalgo are all one big happy family.[]

This way it can be marketed as a terrible sitcom for Nick at Nite!

  • and Tanasinn can make guest appearances!

Zalgo inspired the KL-2 Entity from Starcraft: Frontline[]

  • Volume 4 of Starcraft: Frontline that features the KL-2 Entity was released in October 2009, half a tyear after the Zalgo meme was at the peek of it's popularity.
  • A dead star will sometimes be mentioned in Zalgo related text. KL-2 is a dead star.
  • Zalgo style corruption will usually target the eyes first. Victims possessed by the KL-2 Entity look like this.
    • ....OhCrap.

Missigno is an incarnation of Zalgo[]

Does this even need to be explained?

  • human...

Zalgo is the source of Youngblood's Disease.[]

Zalgo's victims tend to lose their eyes, which is the result of Youngblood's Disease. Both affect comic characters.

Herobrine is a minion of Zalgo.[]

He has no eyes, and he is corrupting a seemingly-childish-and-innocent game.
