“It is so beautiful. You are so bewitched by its beauty, you are not sure if you can wield it.”
The Warhammer of Zillyhoo is a legendary weapon that appears in multiple adventures in both canonical and non-canonical contexts.
In Problem Sleuth[]
Candy Corn Vampire Problem Sleuth and Gummy Worm Zombie Ace Dick are brought to tears by the hammer.
The Warhammer of Zillyhoo is a non-canon item first seen in Problem Sleuth extra number 25
. When Zombie Ace Dick transforms into Gummy Worm Zombie Ace Dick, Candy Corn Vampire Problem Sleuth becomes angered by ZAD's Truffle Shuffle-ing about. To defeat this foe, PS summons the Warhammer of Zillyhoo, a magical hammer with a name that is just as ridiculous as it looks.
- “There she is. Forged in fire by the smiths of Pipplemop, commissioned by the sage Lord of the Wozzinjay Fiefdom in the Realm of the Snargly Fruzmigbubbins.”
PS is overcome by the Warhammer's beauty, and he and ZAD collapse crying in each others arms because of how beautiful it is.
In Homestuck[]
The Warhammer of Zillyhoo has also appeared in Homestuck under hammerkind. Gamzee appears to have the Warhammer of Zillyhoo in his jokerkind specibus and John has also obtained this weapon, after the bunny hugens it for his use.
The flash sequence where the tribute to Zillyhoo was sung.
The warhammer's beauty dazzled the Warweary Villein, the Courtyard Droll, and Karkat Vantas, John and Gamzee showing themselves to be the only ones who are not too overcome to wield it. The majesty of the hammer was such that John felt compelled to sing
its name in a light, tenor gregorian chant towards a (imaginary) cathedral window.
Its cost is listed as One Zillion Zillium.
John had intended to use it against Jack, and show him its true might, but he was incapacitated before he could.
Some time after his resurrection, John is seen with a new hammer, named the Pop-a-matic Vrillyhoo Hammer by Hussie. Its alchemisation clearly involved the Warhammer of Zillyhoo and one or more Vriska related objects.
The Warhammer is eventually revealed to be one of seven legendary weapons from cherub mythology. It was named for its place of manufacture, the continent of Zillyhoo, and shares the same origin that it did in Problem Sleuth. The post-scratch kids alchemize it and the other weapons while under the influence of Trickster Mode.
Trivia[]
- In Homestuck, it lacks the point on the top that it had in the Problem Sleuth extra, and the face is smiling rather than gaping vacantly.
- When the post-scratch kids alchemized a Warhammer of Zillyhoo, it was missing the blue triangular "eyebrows" that were seen on John's and Gamzee's.
