Trogyl

"CHILD OF CREATION. YOU'RE DEAD. DEAD MEAT. I WILL CONSUME YOU. RISE BEYOND THE GODS."

- Trogyl, to Tempo at their final confrontation

Trogyl is technically a deity, despite being repeatedly described as something older and more dangerous. It has dominion over paranoia, irrational fear, and the monsters under the bed. It desires nothing more than to blanket the people of the multiverse, even the gods themselves, in fear.

Appearance
Trogyl is clad entirely in red and black, including a tattered cloak and a steel crown encircled by barbed wire. Its face is pale and scarred, with noticeable fangs protruding slightly from its mouth, and its eyes are large and completely black.

Abilities
Being a Phobia elemental, Trogyl is able to summon and manipulate the ferocious Phobias - creatures manifested from fears of the things that don't exist - as well as form their essence into various shapes, including blades, spikes, claws, and even a massive exoskeleton. It most commonly will materialize its weapons of choice, two massive hands controlled with its mind known simply as the Phobic Hammerfists. It is also able to do the same with Noise, though only with more focus.

Backstory
Nobody knows how Trogyl came to be, save maybe for The Beginning, The End, and a select few major gods. Even fewer know that it still exists. It is suggested that, in a time before history, it ran rampant through the world, spreading fear and its Phobias wherever he pleased, but it has spent the entirety of Zolara's history slumbering at The Bottom of Demise.

Personality
Trogyl is a simpler being, running off of less brainpower than the gods, but relies entirely on instinct and primal urges to dictate its goals instead. However, it is still quite a cunning adversary, and is capable of making plans in order to lead itself to victory. When backed into a corner, however, it will ultimately release all of its fury and abandon all attempt at cunning.

Tempo
Though they don't meet for a long time, Tempo frequently berates Trogyl's Phobia henchmen, which often run rampant in the Reaper's City, and often insults their creator. Though most don't believe that they have a creator aside from the Reaper's City itself prior to meeting Trogyl.

Trivia

 * Trogyl is primarily based off of Cronus from Greek Mythology, and, to a lesser degree, the concept of Primal Reversion from the Pokemon series.
 * Trogyl's resting place, The Bottom of Demise at the Underworld's lowest point, is a reference to Greek Mythology's Tartarus - a pit that led to the deepest point of Hades, where Cronus was imprisoned. Tartarus is also the name of the massive dungeon that greatly impacts the plot of Persona 3.
