* CompleteMonster: [[GodOfTheDead Cama Zotz himself]] is a [[AnimalisticAbomination demonic bat-god]] worshiped by the cannibalistic [[BatOutOfHell Vampyrum Spectrum]], and the ultimate evil of the series. The creator of the Underworld, Zotz is the one behind all of Goth's atrocities, ordering him to commit slavery, genocide, and mass sacrifice. Zotz intends to extinguish the Sun and [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out all life]]; enslaves the souls of the dead and denies them a proper afterlife; and punishes anyone who displeases him--even his devout followers--by [[AndIMustScream eternally torturing them within his stomach]].

* CompleteMonster: [[GodOfTheDead Cama Zotz]] is a [[AnimalisticAbomination monstrous bat-god]] who rules over the Underworld and is worshipped by the Vampyrum Spectrum--[[MonstrousCannibalism cannibalistic]] meat-eating [[BatOutOfHell bats]]--as their divine progenitor. Desiring to rule over everything by extinguishing the Sun--[[OmnicidalManiac which would result in the death of all life on Earth]]--in the ancient past Zotz fought and [[SiblingMurder killed his twin sister Nocturna]], leaving him trapped in the Underworld and requiring his worshippers to sacrifice 100 victims during a solar eclipse to free him. While claiming to be benevolent and merciful, Zotz is a power-hungry tyrant who does everything in his power to prevent the souls of dead bats from leaving the Underworld via the Tree that sprang from Nocturna's corpse--setting sadistic traps for those who attempt to do so--and punishes those who displease him in the [[AndIMustScream timeless acid vortex of his stomach]]. Selecting the Vampyrum prince Goth as his mortal champion, Zotz directs him to commit atrocities such as slavery and genocide in his name. When Goth's hatred for Shade Silverwing leads to his temple being destroyed, Zotz begins enslaving the souls of the dead--including Goth--to manually tunnel to the surface; he further punishes Goth by giving him the SadisticChoice of being devoured immediately or after the tunnel is completed. When Goth promises to restore his cult and expedite his freedom if resurrected, Zotz sends him after Shade's young son Griffin when he's sucked into the Underworld. Using fear of his wrath to keep Goth on-mission when Shade journeys to the Underworld to rescue his son, Zotz [[{{Gaslighting}} gaslights]] Shade with lies and half-truths in an attempt to break his spirit after capturing him.

* EvilIsSexy: Goth's very anthromorphic masculine design on the show has gotten him tons of fans who find him attractive along with his Spanish accent.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Scirocco. Does he genuinely believe that banded bats will turn into humans or is he a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to protect bats shunned because of their bands with soothing lies? Or he is tricking other bats with his sound tricks for his own ends?
** Then there is Cama Zotz. [[spoiler: Is he an evil, ambitious god or is he WellIntentionedExtremist who wants to reunite the living and the dead, and punish those who have wronged his subjects (bats)? Judging by the end of Firewing, it is a combination of ''both''.]]
