Trivia
- In concepts, Zanthar was going to look similar to an island, having things such as a castle and a river on it's back.[4] Its features are vaguely reminescent of the Island Head Beast, a gigantic, monstrous, disembodied head covered with trees.
- Zanthar, along 8 Ball aren't seen after the Shacktron battle. Presumably, because Dipper sent him flying across the town.
- Therefore, he's not seen during the scene, where the Henchmaniacs and the Nightmare Realm's monsters are sucked by the rift.
- Zanthar, along 8 Ball, are the only Henchmaniacs, without an aura.
- Zanthar is the largest of all of Bill's minions.
- Despite this, Zanthar's size has changed considerably, during the entirety of Weirdmageddon: when he's presented, his size his larger than anybody else, but in some scenes later, his size is shrunk and his size, is about Pyronica and 8 Ball's size, possibly, this is because, he's very large to animate.
- Zanthar, along Teeth, Pyronica and Lava lamp shaped creature, make a brief cameo in Gravity Falls: Journal 3, in which them, along other three unknown Nightmare Realm residents go after Ford.
