Gozer the Gozerian, also known as Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar and the Traveler, is a powerful and malevolent entity from beyond the universe, dedicated to the destruction of worlds. Uniquely, however, not only must Gozer first be invited/summoned into the realm it seeks to destroy, it also allows the inhabitants of the hapless world it lands on to choose the form of their destroyer, though with a rather liberal interpretation of the word "choose."
