Zagyg, the Mad Arch-Mage and
punster, is the sole known servant of Boccob, for the latter recognizes no
others except on special occasions. Zagyg is mad only in that none but his
master seems to be able to fathom his reasoning and sense of humor; few,
if any, hold him as their deity.
Zagyg will appear in nearly any
guise when upon the Prime Material Plane. His actual appearance is said to
be rather unremarkable in a wizardly sort of way. Likewise his garb is
varied to suit the situation, dark blue and silver being colors often
noted. 
Being able to employ weapons and
devices common to both fighters and magic-users, Zagyg is likely to appear
with a vorpal blade in one hand and a wand of wonder in the other. Harmful
effects of items employed by this being tend to affect not him but his
opponents instead. Thus, if Zagyg donned a ring of weakness, all those
around him might well be affected while Zagyg is untouched. He has been
known to strike with a padded club, or cast a haste spell upon an
opponent, however. Somehow, despite his seeming madness, Zagyg survives,
carries out his assignments, and moves on.
Zagyg can likewise travel all
planes and is the bane of many. He serves Boccob most carefully, but
apparently out of his own will and a desire to retain enlightened
neutrality and uncertain humor everywhere.
It is said that anyone mad enough to
seek to serve Zagyg must confront the demi-god personally, and
periodically thereafter, and be subject to judgment.
