* TheDreaded: Everyone who isn't named Zalgo, Slenderman, and Aton is terrified of him. For instance, even though his name was on the Enderman's Party List, X appeared to be the only monster not to be interviewed by the Rake and B.O.B. However, given his tendency to attack and eat monsters and humans alike, it was likely that both [[FearlessFool B.O.B]] and ''the Rake'' were afraid to meet up with X.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: His attitude towards theShadowlurker.



* TheHyena: A shtick of his — he laughs at the misery of others. He sadistically cackles at everything, especially death, destruction, and despair. [[StrawNihilist Life is a joke to him]], death is the ultimate punchline, and all ironies are equally funny in his mind.

** It's also Deconstructed in a sense. ''Pastamonsters'' Zalgo is written as capable of cracking hilarious jokes, but it's also shown that his evil side far exceeds it, and that it's entirely possible for one aspect of this trope to be so horrific as to almost cancel the other out. His attempts at BlackComedy are also used to call attention to the monster he is and what kind of a person would find mocking people's misery and tormenting them funny. To him, death is the ultimate punchline, life is a joke, and all ironies are equally silly.

* FreudianExcuse: Strongly averted. Unlike his apprentices and minions who are for the most part products of circumstance, Zalgo has no tragic event or circumstance in his past that drove him to The Dark Side. He simply is, and always has been a horrible person.
* TheGadfly: He preys on the {{AdultFear}}s of his opponents, loves telling them to [[FaceYourFears face their fears]], and pushes both [[BerserkButton Berserk Button]] and {{Relative Button}}s innumerable — it's hard to tell how much of what he does is actual scientific curiosity about fear and how much is just him being a {{Sadist}}.

X (also known as Sonic.EXE) is an entity born from dark matter that has taken on Sonic the Hedgehog's form. One avid Sonic fan named Tom received a copy of a classic Sonic game in the mail from his friend Kyle about the possibly demonic CD and that it has to be destroyed. But regardless, Tom decided to try it out of curiosity. As he played, he began to see what his friend was talking about, when the game was bombarded with macabre imagery, with X killing Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, and Dr. Eggman in very horrifying ways. Tom was his next victim after playing it.

* AttentionWhore: He has shades of this. For example, at the end of "Grand Theft Masky" when he calls Masky when he's in the hospital recovering from Zalgo's DemonicPossession, he keeps rambling about how there is no escape from him, then gets agitated and rants when Masky nonchalantly puts him on hold.



* NoSongsForTheWicked: Aside from a very brief rendition of ''We'll Meet Again'', Zalgo has never gotten a dedicated VillainSong, even in episodes or specials with multiple musical numbers.



* PreMortemOneLiner: "Why, this is a crime scene! ''And you're the victims...''



* WarIsGlorious: Zalgo absolutely ''adores'' war, finding the meaningless deaths of millions extremely satisfying. He even started the Great Monster War out of sheer boredom

* WeWillMeetAgain:
** At the end "Grand Theft Masky", he calls Masky after being exorcised to swear revenge and kill him and the Proxies. Masky doesn't take the threat seriously and casually tosses the phone in the trash mid-call.
** In "Legends of the Multiverse Part 5", Zalgo sings a brief rendition of ''We'll Meet Again'' during Shadowlurker's appreciation party possibly as a way of saying he and the Proxies will meet again "some sunny day".

* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler: After he absorbs both Slenderman and the Multiverse crystals, he transforms into an even bigger EldritchAbomination, becomes one with the Multiverse and then proceeds to start assimilating the multiverse via transmitting himself through it like a demented broadcast.]]



* BadassBoast: Does one when he joins the Battle of the Pit.
--> Zalgo: (to the Proxies and the Arcosian army) Alright, listen up, you one-lifespan, three-dimensional, five-sense skin puppets! For one trillion years I've been trapped in my own decaying dimension, waiting for the time where I could call the multiverse my own. Name's Zalgo. But you can call me your new lord and master for all of eternity! ...Okay. On seconds thought, slaughtering you pathetic worms is the perfect warm-up before the fun really begins!

** During the Battle of the Pit, the combined might of Aton's Elite manage to land a number of good hits on him during their fight, and even manage to immobilize him and wipe out a large portion of him army Nevertheless, he comes out of that whole battle with nothing more than a small scratch that took a full-on assault from Cronos to get, meaning it was unlikely they were ever going to win.



* DimensionLord: The supreme leader of the Pit. He's also implied to rule over over galaxies as well.



* FightingAShadow: Destroying Zalgo's physical body, at most, slows him down; the body is just an extension of his true form, the Pit.



* GeniusLoci: He is implied to literally be the Pit.
** In a much more large scale example, [[spoiler: After he absorbs both Slenderman and the Multiverse crystals,he becomes an EldritchAbomination and merges himself with the Multiverse, literally becoming the Multiverse itself]].



* HellOnEarth: [[spoiler: After he absorbs both Slenderman and the Multiverse crystals and becomes one with the Multiverse and begins corrupting other timelines, he ends up transforming the Earth into the decimated, fiery wasteland no different than the Pit while becoming a sky full of cackling Zalgo heads. It's also implied that this is happening to every single planet in the Multiverse as well.]]



* IDidWhatIHadToDo: With regards to Akira to the mines, he says he did what he had to do—but that was for himself to ensure he will be able to continue his evil plans without any distractions or second thoughts.



* KickTheMoralityPet: Akira was probably to only being Zalgo ever cared for..... And then he killed her to focus on his evil plans. In the end, she was just another baby momma to him.

* TheOmnipresent:
** He is implied to be everywhere within the Pit.
--> Zalgo: (while chasing Jeff and BEN in the Pit) You can run and hide all you want, but I'll catch you! '''I AM EVERYWHERE!!!'''

X killed Tails, Amy, and Knuckles for laughs and has tortured trillions for years. This is best shown when he [[spoiler: murders Lara's brother]] ForTheEvulz.

* EvilerThanThou: To Shadowlurker.



* FatalFlaw: Yes, he could easily kill his targets... But chasing them and scarring them for life, even if it gives them time to escape, is too much fun.
* FauxAffablyEvil: While a primarily feral-minded and instinct-driven predator, he can also carry a clever ruse and when disguised in his Sonic guise, is more than capable of acting in a cordial, warm, and friendly manner all as a method to give the prey a false sense of security. In Sonic form, X is caring, jovial, cheerful, merry, sociable, and charming towards others, politely offering them the chance to visit Amy and Tails and eat free food. However, this is all a clever pretense, to disarm his prey. His act as Sonic is not exactly perfect, as his raging appetite was difficult to conceal. As when he met Isaac, his black and red eyes turned a softer shade of blue with white scleras mid-conversation, purely to ease Isaac's mind. In addition, X was constantly drooling and gawping at Isaac, making him feel a little uneasy.



* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler: Neither Zalgo nor Shadowlurker even acknowledge him after his death.]]



* GirlyRun: Everytime he runs, he extends his arms and legs in front of him as far as possible. It makes him look... intresting to say the least.

Added DiffLines:

* MasterOfIllusion: A ''vary'' dark version of this trope. X seems to have no limit to what illusions can be created, but primarily uses them to instill fear, which means they must be realistic enough to do so. These illusions are physical (they can be touched and last beyond any given amount of time) and can include smells (such as popcorn or rotting corpses). Also, X can make its illusions visible only by certain people. Sometimes, when the victim sees through the illusion, they will cease to exist (although this may be the will of X). However, one must see through the illusion perfectly.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Narcissist}}: X also appears to have a form of narcissism, viewing himself as above even Zalgo, and seeing mortals as inferior creatures, who exist solely to be toyed with and massacred.

He can also change size.

When he finally gets a form that's stable, it's so weak and fragile that Shadowlurker destroys him in one hit.]]

* DragonInCheif: To Bigmouth somewhat in "The Deal". Zalgo is very much his own boss and the deal was only temporary. Upon his plan being thwarted, he compliments the heroes and leaves Bigmouth to eventually be defeated.



* EvilIsHammy: Regardless of his immoral acts, he's fairly funny and hammy as hell.



* EyeBeams: Zalgo can generate tremendous, red, superheated torrents from his eyes and mouth, which are far larger and more destructive than even Slenderman's typical magic blasts, with a single thermal blast being enough to completely destroy three planets. Only beings of tremendous power, like other cosmic beings can survive a thermal blast from Zalgo head-on.

** [[spoiler: In "Legends of the Multiverse part 4", when Zalgo enters the Battle of the Pit, most of what he does is laugh off all of their attacks whilst his attacks decimate all of them. That is, until Aton's elite show up and begin pushing him back. Following a savage beating from the Cronos, Zalgo realizes it's time to stop holding back and bellows "'''ENOUGH!!!!!'''". In one hand wave, he turns the entire army to stone, blasts Hera, Speedy, and Toog away, and defeats Cronos in a hilariously one-sided fight.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: Everything around him solely exists to be toyed with and murdered, nothing more.

* NumberTwo: He is Zalgo's royal advisor, general of his army, and his [[MouthOfSauron mouth]]; Though more than capable of decimating battalions on his own, Shadowlurker is seen more often commanding soldiers rather than engaging in battle himself, and has enough authority to silence high-ranking generals like X with but a word.

** Far more profound, however, is the evil that Zalgo has unleashed among the sentient inhabitants of the universe. To have a brutal industrialized hellscape is one thing, but to populate it with his army, criminals and many other overlords who assist Zalgo in creating "a world where the innocent and the weak are always preyed upon," in Lara's description, is entirely different. The true evil of Zalgo is that he utterly enjoys dehumanizing the universe, reduced the inhabitants of many planets to a Darwinian struggle in which strength and cunning untethered from morality prosper. It is a world not merely of "catastrophe, devastation, and carnage," as Slenderman says, though it is certainly that. More devastating, though, is that it is a world where vices have become virtues, where children have become slaves to evil and manipulation, where restraint and mercy lead only to death and ruin, where the few pockets of innocence and joy are singled out for ruination, where underlings do not merely carry out evil orders but torture refor pleasure (calling it "fun"). This is the unspeakable evil Zalgo has unleashed. ''All for his enjoyment and pleasure''.

This is the first recorded Monster to his rule. Zalgo also seeks out the death of Slenderman's remaining Proxies. but with little success.ever exist.



* AndThenWhat: Zalgo clearly didn't think of what to do next once he conquered the Under Realm.
* TheBadGuyWins: Zalgo has successfully conquered the Under Realm and killed Slenderman, and has remained undefeated ever since. He now hopes to destroy the last of Slenderman's Proxies.
* BigBad: Despite being the primary villain, Zalgo has less overall appearances and no longer has any plots that involve antagonizing the Proxies, because after all, Zalgo ''is'' a GodOfEvil and without Slenderman, no one on the Proxies side can even harm him.
* BondVillainStupidity: No doubt about it, his unwillingness to directly confront the Proxies will bite him in the ass at some point.
* EvilIsPetty: One monster in the Cut-Throat Cavern claims that the first thing Zalgo did as ruler of the Under Realm was draining the land of water as punishment for the Monsters disrespect of him.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Zalgo acts as this in the series. Sure, he's still the chief antagonist, but a lot of antagonists have more involvement than himself in the plot such as Shadowlurker (the top enforcer of the Under Realm), Enderman (who kidnaps BEN), the Grand High Inquisitor (a brutish, tyrannical man in Zalgo's employ) and the Stiltwalker and Seedeaters. On the other hand, we have Jeff's Inner Self later revealed to be his EvilCounterpart, who serves as a more psychological threat to Jeff. So yeah, Zalgo, so far, has never directly acted against the Proxies; instead, it's the other mentioned characters that cause trouble for Jeff and his friends.
* HeroKiller: He killed Slenderman long before the comic began.
* KarmaHoudini: At least as of now, he has yet to be defeated.
* KickTheDog: When his minions bring surviving members from Jeff's gang to him, he rolls his eyes and uses his EyeBeams to fry them, not even interrogating them as he had previously planned.
* LackOfEmpathy: He reacts to [[spoiler: Shadowlurker's death]] without even batting an eye.
* LaughablyEvil: Especially compared to his canon comic counterpart. The comic displays Zalgo in a comedic depression and frustration over his minions' constant failure to kill the Proxies.
* NervousWreck: While he outwardly displays apathy towards the Proxies, in private he's deeply frustrated by the fact that none of his minions can seem to kill the Proxies to the point that he secretly relies on a psychiatrist in the form of himself.
* OffingTheOffspring: He killed Slenderman long before the comic began.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: His depression in the comic is jarring considering his Laughably Evil schtick.
* OrcusOfHisThrone: He managed to destroy Slenderman and plans on simply waiting for the Proxies to die of old age. With the Proxies unable to stop Zalgo without Slenderman, Zalgo doesn't care enough to find them himself.
* OutOfFocus: He appears very sporadically despite being the chief antagonist. Justified in that the Proxies can't do anything to defeat him and he sees no point in doing anything.
* PetTheDog: A downplayed example. It seems Zalgo's utter hatred of humanity has wavered to the point where he welcomes criminals from the Human World into the Under Realm for safety from the police. However, this isn't saying much, as he still treats mortals as inferior creatures who aren't exempt from his rules.
* PluckyComicRelief: Oddly enough, despite being the BigBad, his LaughablyEvil tendencies make him a main source of levity, especially in the otherwise DarkerAndEdgier non-canon comic.
* PsychopathicManChild: We discover that his minions' constant failure to kill the Proxies has driven him to depression, but he comes off acting like a teenager or young adult who's simply become bored and confused about what to do with his life. In contrast to Jeff, whose depression seems much more justified, because his whole life has been mostly full of tragic events.
* PyrrhicVictory: Zalgo succeeded in destroying Slenderman, leaving the Proxies no way to defeat him, and then afterward he successfully took over the Under Realm. The problem is that Zalgo now has to wait years for the Proxies to die of old age, potentially giving them all the time in the world to find something to end him. Now Zalgo just stays moping around in his lair and having therapy sessions with himself.
* StepfordSmiler: Zalgo has been reduced to this. Outwardly, he portrays himself to his followers as being completely apathetic towards Jeff or any of his many enemies. Privately, he's reduced to a sad puddle of his former self, wracked with anxiety over the fact that every attempt to kill the Proxies has utterly failed and faces uncertainty about the prospect of the Proxies eventually teaming back up to defeat him.
* TheSyndicate: It is revealed that Zalgo has begun to welcome outlaws, bandits, gangsters and evil organizations from the human world into the Under Realm. Interestingly, most of the antagonists have connections to Zalgo, from lowly thugs to ruthless mobsters, assassins and slave drivers.
* VictoryIsBoring: His victory over the Proxies has been going in his favor, even if his war on the Proxies isn't over yet. However, Zalgo can't enjoy his (temporary) triumph because the Proxies just won't die, and sooner or later they'll face Zalgo again.
* VillainDecay: He seems to have lost a lot of interest in killing the Proxies and has almost given up on combating them completely. It doesn't help that he's literally began to talk to himself and close himself off from his own followers. Somewhat justifiable in that, the Proxies have absolutely no way of beating him and therefore Zalgo sees no reason to continue battling them.
* VillainousBreakdown: Zalgo has been reduced to sulking miserably in his lair and literally talking to himself (in the form of a therapist) about his minions' inability to defeat the Proxies, even though Slenderman is dead. He's completely apathetic to his minions and subjects bringing him tribute, and generally seems to have come down with depression.
* WeHaveReserves: After defeating Slenderman, Zalgo has sent wave after wave of demonic minions after the Proxies over the years, even after it's become clear that none of them stand a good chance. After nine years of doing this, he's stopped holding out hope that any of the demons will ever kill a single Proxy, and they're now commanded entirely by the Shadowlurker.

Responsible talking about, when the game was bombarded with keeping the Under Realm in check, Shadowlurker is the top enforcer of the Under Realm, destroying and crushing any rising rebellion against Zalgo. He was also tasked macabre imagery, with X killing Tails, Knuckles the capture of Jeff the Killer.Echidna, and Dr. Eggman in very horrifying ways. Tom was his next victim after playing it.



* AintTooProudToBeg: A downplayed example. [[spoiler: After Jeff does a number on him by using a grenade, he half-heartedly tries to plead with Jeff for his life. It didn't get him too far.]]
* ArchEnemy: Has sort of become this to Jeff.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: As [[LaughablyEvil entertaining]]]] [[spoiler: as he was, Shadowlurker deserves little or no pity after Jeff killed him, considering how he mass-murdered and subjected many innocent people to Zalgo's rule, and he was an insufferable, uncouth {{jerkass}}.]]
* AxCrazy: He slaughtered Jeff's recently formed mercenary gang, including the men, women, and children inside. When Jeff confronts him, he reveals he did this days ago and has been casually waiting for him (Jeff) to show up.
* DirtyCop: Despite being the new Sherrif of the Under Realm, most of Shadowlurker's daily activities consist of silencing any rising rebellion, massacring villages, and oppressing thousands.
* DeathEqualsExplosion: [[spoiler: Explodes into dark energy when Jeff chops him in half.]]
* TheDragon: To Zalgo.
* EvilIsPetty: He didn't ''have'' to kill Jeff's gang, or even the many children guiltless of any crimes. He just wanted to.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He chats quite amiably with Jeff and gives him almost nothing but compliments throughout their fight, even when he is defeated... and he also slaughtered Jeff's entire mercenary gang just to draw Jeff out and then bragged about it.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: When Jeff chops him in two with a machete.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Even when he's ''not'' killing rebels and oppressing thousands, he acts like a smug asshole by default.
* KillerCop
* KnightTemplar: While Zalgo is a CardCarryingVillain, Shadowlurker fully believes he is bringing law and order by carrying out Zalgo's oppressive laws.
* LackOfEmpathy: He had no problem butchering Jeff's mercenary group right down to the innocent children.
* LaughablyEvil: Despite being a lot more ruthless than his canon comic counterpart, he's still fairly comical and goofy.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Much like his canon counterpart he's still pretty comical, but he is still the murderer of thousands.
* OneManArmy: Single-handedly killed an entire gang of mercenaries, no henchmen required.
* PoliceBrutality: An adept at this.
* PsychoForHire: He seems to enjoy his job.
* {{Sadist}}: In contrast to his canon counterpart, Shadowlurker is a bit of a sadist, casually slaughtering any opposing rebel forces with ease. He even slaughters people even when ''not'' under Zalgo's orders.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the canon series, Shadowlurker was evil for sure, but he was still a bumbling henchman with [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]] and a lot of comedy to dish out, making him pretty difficult to take seriously. Here, he's a smug {{jerkass}} who regularly subjects people to Zalgo's tyranny without a hint of remorse. He's also been shown to take the lives of innocent children, something his canon counterpart was never shown doing.
* WarmUpBoss: So far the only significant antagonist fought in the non-canon story.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Is killed pretty early on by Jeff.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He murders everyone in Jeff's gang, including the innocent children.

[[caption-width-right:350:"'''I AM GOD''']]
X (also known as Sonic.EXE) is an entity born from dark matter that has taken on Sonic the Hedgehog's form. One avid Sonic fan named Tom received a copy of a classic Sonic game in the mail from his friend Kyle about the possibly demonic CD and that it has to be destroyed. But regardless, Tom decided to try it out of curiosity. As he played, he began to see what his friend was talking about, when the game was bombarded with macabre imagery, with X killing Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, and Dr. Eggman in very horrifying ways. Tom was his next victim after playing it.

One of Zalgo's best torturers. His job was to specialize in etiquette, customs, translation and torture.

They are a truly despotic empire, they have been conquring planets for eons and have been unstoppable for years. They have one of the largest armies in the omniverse, with over duodecillion still serving Zalgo to this day.

to:

* ColdBloodedTorture: He submits the Proxies of Universe 346 to this. When Universe 346 Jeff insists that he will die before he tells him where Slenderman is, Shadowlurker gloats about how Jeff doesn't whine but he's going to scream, before electrocuting him.

* RealityWarping: To the point where he turned a ''planet'' into a giant gold coin. "Lege4nds of the Multiverse" has him using this power to a much more pragmatically. [[spoiler: He turns Slenderman's projectile attacks into stuffed animals, turns an entire army into sotne statues, turns Hoodie into a decretive blanket, turns Smile Dog into a monkey, and turns Speedy into a fish.]]



* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Yes, Shadowlurker kills Zalgo and effectively saved the multiverse, but he still murdered half a million innocent lives during his years with Zalgo, including childrena and Zalgo's own minions. It's a wonder Aton just let him off scot-free without even acknowledging his crimes.]]
