is the second youngest sibling of Killua. While the other members of the Zoldyck family refer to Alluka as male or as an object, Killua, who is the closest to Alluka, states that Alluka is female. Alluka is a dark child with the ability to grant wishes and a second personality, named by Killua. Once a person grants three requests made by Alluka, Nanika grants their wish. The bigger the wish, the bigger Alluka's demands will be for the next person. If four of Alluka's demands are refused in a row, at least two people, the refusee and their closest friend/love, will die. A larger wish requires more deaths in the next round when the demands are refused; dying in the order of the amount of time they have spent with the refusee. Once people die in refusal, the demands "reset" to the lowest difficulty level. Because Alluka's power is considered too dangerous, Alluka is locked up alone in a room full of toys. Fearing that Killua will ask Alluka's help to save Gon's life, Illumi asks for Hisoka's help in searching for and killing Alluka, as Alluka poses a grave danger to the entire Zoldyck family in the case of Killua getting killed by Alluka's power. Killua eventually has Alluka cure Gon without consequence, this is because Killua can make demands of Nanika without paying a price. After Gon is healed, Killua demands Nanika not grant anyone else's wishes and starts traveling together with Alluka. The caption to a standalone illustration of Alluka in Volume 33 of "Hunter × Hunter" reads "Ai. I'm from the Dark Continent.," suggesting that Alluka's power is due to the Gaseous Life-form: that humans brought back from the Dark Continent.
