Zuul
Zuul, a ferocious female Terror Dog, was The Gatekeeper of Gozer. Being female, she had shorter horns than her male counterpart, Vinz Clortho, The Keymaster. She was worshipped in 6000 BC by various primitive civilizations, and, along with Vinz, had a gargoyle crafted in her likeness flanking the temple on the roof of the Shandor Building.
Zuul originally appeared standing guard in Gozer's Temple inside Dana Barrett's refrigerator as she had arrived from getting groceries. The demon growled out its name at her in a horrendous demonic voice, frightening her into visiting the Ghostbusters for help. After it's original apparition, both gargoyles "hatched" from their statues atop the Shandor Building in the middle of a thunderstorm. The Terror Dogs possessed two tenants in the building, Dana and her neighbor Louis Tully, in order to copulate as part of the ritual required to open the gateway to Gozer's dimension.
Zuul chose to possess Dana Barrett, manifesting her possession in Dana by making her very sexually aggressive and giving her the ability to levitate and growl monstrously like a demonic beast.
After successfully possessing Dana, Zuul could speak in Dana's voice but could not access her memory or knowledge. Awaiting the arrival of the Keymaster, Zuul encountered Peter Venkman when he arrived for his pre-arranged date with Dana. When Peter sees her he is immediately taken aback by the radical change in appearance Dana had undergone through Zuul's control. Zuul (in Dana's body) asked him if he was the Keymaster, to which he replied negatively. Disappointed, Zuul quickly slammed the door in his face. Peter regrouped and knocked on her door once again, which she opened, quickly asking him once again if he is the Keymaster. This time Peter lies in order to gain entry to the apartment, stating he is a friend of the Keymaster. Zuul smiles and let him in, introducing herself as the Gatekeeper and speaking to Peter of the coming of Gozer, "the Destructor" as he looks around her living room, noticing the apartment walls and furniture are oozing ectoplasm. Zuul walks toward the bedroom where she proceeds to wantonly seduce him, in an aggressive yet unsuccessful attempt to copulate with him. Peter casually dismisses her advances, insisting instead on speaking to "Dana" to the point a frustrated Zuul responds in an otherworldy, demonic voice that "There is no Dana, only Zuul!". Peter, undaunted, gives Zuul to the count of three to let him speak with "Dana". As he counts down Zuul (in Dana's body) exhibits further signs of demonic possession. First rolling her eyes while purring demonically, then violently jerking her head while panting desperately and finally concluding their "date" by levitating above her bed while growling inhumanly at Peter out of tremendous frustration from his constant rejection of her sexual advances. Quietly observing the purring Zuul float in midair, Peter emotionlessly asks her to come down to which the floating demoness responds with a horrendous guttural roar which finally scares him. Afterwards Peter sedates Zuul and leaves her unconscious on her bed when he heads over to the Ghostbusters headquarters. When the firehouse explodes, releasing all of the ghosts onto New York City, Zuul is awakened sensing the release of psychic energy.
As the Ghostbusters make their way toward the Temple, Zuul and Vinz awake after having sex atop a large altar. Zuul sits up coyly, her evil eyes scanning the rooftop when Vinz awakes with a contented grin and dangling limp belt between his legs. The two demons briefly look at each other before they slide off of the altar. They stare in awe at the top of the Temple as it is struck by lightning from the hellish storm above. Zuul and Vinz take their places atop the stone pedestals previously mounted by the Terror Dogs where they await and watch excitedly as the massive structure before them is struck by lightning bolts shooting from the dark sky. As the Ghostbusters close in on the Temple, Zuul and Vinz raise their arms to the sky when, suddenly, lightning shoots from the top of the Temple striking both demons who redirect the energy toward the large Temple door causing it to slowly open. Upon completion of the opening of the portal for Gozer, Zuul and Vinz absorb the supernatural energy, briefly making their bones glow and causing their bodies to gyrate violently until they succumb and lower their arms down to their pedestals, transforming back to their natural Terror Dog forms. Upon completion of their transformation their bones briefly glow, revealing an entirely different and monstrous bone structure. Zuul briefly stares at her demonic body before she and Vinz turn to notice the Ghostbusters, roaring menacingly at them before taking their places beside Gozer at the Temple. Zuul and Vinz roar ferociously when Gozer electrocutes the Ghostbusters. The two Terror Dogs were later destroyed when the Ghostbusters "crossed the streams" and reversed the particle flow through the gateway, creating a massive explosion. Dana was extracted, alive and unharmed, from Zuul's burnt corpse.
