Character(s): Zigg Zoldyck, Maha Zoldyck, Isaac Netero, Linnet Hors-d’œuvre

spoilers alert: Zigg Zoldyck’s official appearance was on chapter 344. For anyone who isn’t caught up to hxh’s manga events, do not read any further for fear of catching spoilers.

Side note: Keep in mind that these are MY headcanons. If you do not approve or have your own headcanons for him, then keep these to yourself.

Was a huge mischievous boy in his childhood.  

Used to love scaring the shit out of the maids and butlers that were passing by.

Would steal at least three sugar bags a day from the chef’s kitchen.

Zigg is that one kid who used to only eat sugar packs and run around with them all over the mansion while Maha sat quietly to the side watching his chaotic son ruin the hallways.

Maha just had to deal with his shit on a constant basis.

Zigg would usually lay on top of one of the Testing gate dragons while waiting for his father to come home after work.

Is the most unhinged but mysterious zoldyck heir above them all.

Has seen too much for his own good.

Has watched every ex compilation available at the moment. 

This guy constantly looks hyper and is proud of it.

No matter what he feels, he’ll always have that mysterious smile plastered on his face.

His butlers secretly believe he might have just made a stupid grin too many times and it eventually permanently stayed on his face.

Zigg has had many names over the years.

He was commonly known in the assassination industry as “The Smiling Devil”, “The Devil’s messenger” and even “The Devil’s horns”.

These names were given to him due to his unhinged expression.

Whether he was smiling intentionally or not, it didn’t change the fact that people couldn’t help but feel tense whenever he was around.

You can imagine how his targets must feel.

It would be laughable and even bold to claim that the cheshire silver-haired heir might have a personal weakness.

His sheer power and strength alone easily overpower any assassin and fighter combined.

His best friends, as well as traveling companions, would have to be Netero and Linnet.

Zigg doesn’t care what he labels them, he just likes tagging along with them to see what kind of stupid shit the three of them will do

This trio has been through hell and back.

They even have been to places where no man has ever laid foot. 

From the way that he talks, eats, decorates, wears clothes, or when talking about his likes and dislikes, Zigg would never respond or do these things the right way it was supposed to be. 

He’d eat while adding too much sugar or salt to the dish, or he would gobble it all up without chewing it.

He also has this habit of only choosing dark minted chocolates as a sugary snack, loving the smell of sour milk, spreading cold butter on cold bread, and brushing his teeth right after drinking any kind of juice.

Whenever he talks, he always has to expressively show what he’s talking about by using his hands and arms to portray the scene.

This wouldn’t be abnormal to do if it wasn’t for the fact that he constantly does it for the smallest things.

When it comes to giving him the task to be creative, his decorating skills can be quite… unique.

Let’s just say he can turn any house or room into Alice in Wonderland if left unsupervised.

Has a weird thing for cute things.

His clothing style is at least less odd than anything else he does.

He’s always seen wearing his sleeveless shinobi shōzoku outfit which is usually the attire worn by the zoldyck heir.

Whenever he wasn’t seen wearing it, he would put on a sleeveless shirt with a pair of long shorts or pants.

As for any special events that involve ballrooms or fancy restaurants, he’s surprisingly all prepared and ready to be seen in suits.

His preferences are far from being considered ‘crazy’.

In fact, they are chaotic more than anything else.

His likes range from having an appreciation for asymmetrical circles with coffee rings, being strangely proud of having tangled wires, taking off drawers and cupboards to use them as wall forts, attempting to leave the house when it’s icy, always leaving the front door and windows open, reading with gloves on, messing up a bubble wrap, only using cold water when showering, and finally, eating the last pizza from the box while Netero and Linnet argue on who should take it (this one seems to happen a lot if it’s considered to be a part of his list).

His likes could also be considered his habits.

He also has a deep admiration and fascination for games with mysterious world-building and weird lore such as Majora’s Mask, Sally face, Fran Bow, Omori, Silent Hill 2, and Bloodborne.

His dislikes on the other hand are far more unexplainable than his likes.

He dislikes tea, swimming in a pool, or simply seeing a pool, pizza, riding a bike, sunbathing, glasses, daydreaming, clippers, soft mattresses, and cardboard boxes.

He frequently breaks imaginary fourth walls.

Is physically capable of doing a full 360 turn with his head.

No one, including Netero and Linnet, knows for sure what the fuck is wrong with him.

But what they both secretly found exceptionally beautiful about him was his constant blabbering and admiration for anything uncommon.

He never ignores anything that seems to be abnormal.

On the contrary, he welcomes the unusual.

Of all the zoldyck heirs to have existed, Zigg Zoldyck is known as “the one who saw too much”.

After accepting Netero’s invite to join him and Linnet on an expedition, which would later be revealed to be an unrecorded journey, it turned out that the three of them became anonymously known as the only survivors who came back alive from the Dark Continent.

Their physical conditions seem to be stable and in good condition enough, however, their mental sanity in comparison has long been gone.

This exceptional trio unfortunately received some aftereffects from their dark travel.

After having gone through this horrific experience, each of them had been subjected to different side effects.

Linnet Hors-d’oeuvre had the misfortune to become speechless. 

Due to what she has seen and witnessed, the many horrors and unspeakable calamities left her in a voiceless state incapable of telling her misadventures about this cursed continent.

Zigg, on the other hand, became more deranged and twisted than ever before.

The only one who had at least some kind of morality left in them was Netero. But even putting it in that way would be considered too simple to conclude for him.

Unlike Linnet and Netero however, Zigg managed to limit his odd tendencies when he’s around people.

This would explain his sudden new strange manners.

These habits help him cope with what he’s dealing with.

Still, he doesn’t see any problem with the fact that he received some side effects from the unknown world.

Unbeknownst to him, however, he brought a calamity by the name of Ai with him.

At first, he thought that the voice in his head must've been made up by his imagination.

But when he eventually realized that this wasn’t the case at all, it finally dawned on him that the thing glued to him wasn’t natural.

No one believed him when he explained the situation he was dealing with: he was the only one who could hear it after all.

This did not only make him sound more absurd than usual, but it also made him look a bit off-putting to his butlers and relatives.

The constant remarks about his odd new behavior did not bother him. He enjoyed the fact that he possessed something horrendous even if it had the ability to kill him.

Despite the fact that he tried numerous times to communicate with the calamity residing in him, it was only able to pronounce certain words to him.

The poor communication between him and it, was considered progress to Zigg. He just knows that someday, Ai will gain some kind of consciousness as time will take its course.

He never once gave up on their small but poor attempts at conversations. He was too engulfed in studying it that he sometimes forgets his own duties as heir.

He’ll stay in his room for many hours of the day; almost full days just to talk to it.

On the other side of his chamber, however, his butlers and relatives could only hear him talking to himself.

He kept forgetting so much of his own work that he began having a butler specifically suited to organize his schedule for every day of the week.

Each day passing by was only another chance for him to attempt making progress with the thing that was taking every space in his mind.

Zigg’s fate as well as his existence has been turned into another secret hidden away by the zoldycks.

His belongings have been locked away in the deepest parts of Kukuroo Mountain.

If even one singular individual would've tried to know about who he once was,  no one would’ve been able to take the truth.
