Discussion Zahard's true form

[TheLastMartian]

I think he is becoming less and less human as time goes on, maybe even becoming closer to being a Guardian.


In the data floor Bam saw him with red tentacle things, and when the real Zahard interfered, he did it via much larger red tentacles that came through the mirror.


It is also said no one has seen him in a long time and he sends orders without showing himself, maybe he is going through some sort of metamorphosis right now.


Maybe the tower grows itself by making new guardians for future floors. I feel Enyruu killing the guardian is a foreshadow that the final antagonist is gonna be a being similar to the guardians if not Headon and them.

Interesting.

Interesting idea. It could be that whatever entity inside of Zahard that gives him power is taking over. From the GoG, it seems that Zahard has a “power” inside him similar to Bam and he gave in to it. Just like the Red Thryssa took over Hell Joe, perhaps this thing is taking over Zahard. No idea if it is admin like or not but that would be possible.

One idea I had was that the ten heads actually want to save Zahard from this thing. They still like him for who he was, but not for who he’s become.

I don’t think that Zahard has lost his physical form, but that would be quite a shock, a.la. Halo when you finally get to your lost commander and he’s all morphed into this weird flood thing.

Anyway, Zahard likely isn’t “human” anymore. Probably hasn’t been for a long time.

I would bet strongly on Zahard hiding his “true body” somewhere, appearing only as projections (like in the mirror, but elsewhere too), and that his inactivity is really about his absence.

What that means and the significance of it are separate questions, but the baseline fact i am betting on is that Zahard isn’t “present” or “fully present” in the tower (in some sense, at least).

This may or may not touch on true form issues, but would certainly be related to them.

So Zahard is 'third eye' Psykos. Hmm.

Always viewed the power inside as some sort of parasite, kinda like the parasites in stargate, you can clearly tell Zahard back before he left the hell train was a completely different person, he believes himself to be more then human.
