Gozer the Gozerian
Ghostbusters film (1984)
Gozer the Gozerian, also known as Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, The Traveller, is a Sumerian shapeshifting god. Gozer appears to be a shapeshifter, able to change form at will.
After World War I, an insane surgeon named Ivo Shandor, leader of a secret apocalyptic cult, designed a ziggurat disguised as a massive apartment building in New York City (55 Central Park West) for the specific purpose of gathering psychokinetic energy (PKE) that would power a portal that would allow Gozer and its minions to enter the world and destroy it.
By 1984, the building had gathered enough energy to pull Zuul and Vinz Clortho through. The two planned to possess suitable humans to open the portal on top of the building to let Gozer through. Because of this, the PKE level in the surrounding area was a few thousand times greater than normal. As a byproduct, numerous ghosts were 'revived' and became active throughout the city as they waited to join their new master.
Gozer's minion entities Zuul (the Gatekeeper) and Vinz Clortho (the Keymaster) soon begin seeking human hosts.
