Zygotta

Zygotta is a fictional entity appearing in comic books published by Image Comics. It is a powerful alien parasite that seeks to infect and control living hosts. Zygotta's primary characteristic is its ability to absorb the memories, abilities, and even physical attributes of those it infects. This allows it to evolve and become increasingly formidable with each new host.

The origins of Zygotta are often depicted as an ancient and malevolent force from another galaxy. Its primary goal is typically conquest and assimilation, spreading its influence across the cosmos. When Zygotta infects a host, it often leaves the original consciousness dormant or completely erased, acting through the host's body as its own. This parasitic nature makes it a significant threat to individuals and entire civilizations.

Zygotta has been a recurring antagonist for various characters within the Image Comics universe, particularly those with cosmic or supernatural connections. Its battles often involve heroes attempting to free infected individuals or stop Zygotta's spread before it can achieve its ultimate goals. The entity's design usually reflects its alien and parasitic nature, often with a grotesque or unsettling appearance. Its longevity and adaptability make it a persistent danger, capable of returning even after seemingly being defeated.
