Zuul is a key antagonist from the 1984 film Ghostbusters. She is a demigod and a servant of Gozer the Gozerian, a powerful Sumerian deity.

Zuul's primary role is to serve as the Gatekeeper of Gozer. She possesses Dana Barrett, a cellist living in New York City, transforming her personality and physical characteristics to embody Zuul's demonic presence. During the possession, Dana (as Zuul) exhibits violent tendencies and a single-minded focus on preparing for Gozer's arrival.

She appears in various forms throughout the Ghostbusters franchise, including the film sequels and associated media. While primarily known for her role in the first film, Zuul's association with Gozer and the overall mythology of the Ghostbusters universe ensures her enduring presence in the franchise's lore. Her imposing demeanor and connection to a larger, cosmic threat make her a memorable and significant figure.
