This god usually appears as a human bearded male of powerful physique.
He often shape changes.
He disdains the use of armor,
but will use a +5 shield, his Aegis.
Zeus is able to simultaneously attack and cast a 30 point lightning bolt each melee round.
He wields a spear that does 6-60 points of damage.

When his wounds spill blood on the earth,
the blood forms a random sixth <6th> level monster.
This can happen once per round.
The monster will fight for Zeus until dead or 48 hours elapse.

A giant white eagle is always at the god's side,
and one of its type is occasionally given to those the god favors.

Zeus is the son of the titans Kronos and Rhea.
He led the gods in their overthrow of the titans,
and became their general ruler.
He is the lord of the upper air and the major ruler of the plane of Olympus.
However, his rule is not always absolute,
and the other gods and goddesses may argue his decisions.
