Zog is a dreadful creature, part fish, part man, part beast, part fowl, and part serpent. His face is like that of a man, with ears like horns, horns instead of eyebrows, and a horn on the end of his chin. His hair is carefully parted and his face is actually quite handsome. His eyes glow like coals, though he keeps them shrouded by his long lashes. Instead of feet, his legs end in hooves shod with gold. His arms are as well-formed and white as a woman's. The rest of his body is generally hidden by a richly embroidered robe because it is too hideous. He has broad, feathery wings at his shoulders which allow him to swim with terrific force. His undulating body is broad and thin like an eel and ends in a fish's tail.

Zog has lived for twenty seven thousand years. Centuries ago Zog was cast from the earth into the sea where he caused much trouble. He waged a terrible war against King Anko, but was conquered and driven into his castle where he was imprisoned.

For revenge, Zog captured Queen Aquareine and Princess Clia, along with their guests Trot and Cap'n Bill. He tried to torture them with his Yell-Maker, but the mermaid queen's magic protected them. He also unsuccessfully attempted to boil and to freeze his prisoners. When they finally made their escape, Zog pursued them but was captured in King Anko's coils where he was crushed to a mass of jelly-like pulp.
