Zalgo
He waits behind the walls, for the time when the angles are right.
He is the Nexperdian Hive-mind of chaos.
Fear him.

so he's something from some sort of geek-game like WoW or something then?

Not at all
It's meant to be an allusion to a Lovecraftian-style thing from beyond.

did some googling
"Knock-off. There is no deity or monster in Lovecraftian lore named Zalgo. It's just a generic Lovecraftian sort of thing Shmorky did at SA way back when and became a meme for people to use when editing awful comic strips and webcomics. Here's the first "appearance" of Zalgo."

He is all that bubbles and blasphemes at the roiling heart of chaos.
Now where did I put my copy of "Dick and Nyarlathotep Go To The Beach"?

an interwebs meme
based loosely on some kind of lovecraftian evil being such as Chtulu. a bunch of webgeeks started putting ZALGO references into popular webcomics and posting them on messageboards.

Evilscary has decided to do it well though. i personally fuckin love the spooky hatstandishness of it all...
