Zhar the Mad is a quest boss found in a library section of level 8 of the catacombs. He gives a demented little speech, but will leave you alone unless you provoke him, at which point he attacks with Fireballs. He is the first sighting a player has of the mage type monster, who are not otherwise seen prior to level 13. | '''Zhar the Mad''' is a quest boss found in a library section of level 8 of the catacombs.

==Trivia== | |||
[[File:Boss-lloigor-the-crazed-name.jpg|frame|Lloigor the Crazed, from Diablo 3.]] | |||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhar_(Great_Old_One) Zhar] is a character from the Lovecraft mythos, first featured in a short story by August Derleth. | |||
In Derleth's story, and others also set in the Lovecraft Mythos, Zhar has a brother named Lloigor. Another demon mage very similar to Zhar the Mad appears in Diablo III, with the name Lloigor the Crazed, in an obvious homage to this character. | |||
