The Zoldyck Family, also known as the Zaoldyeck Family, is a famous fictional family of assassins appearing in the Japanese manga and anime series Hunter × Hunter.

The Zoldyck family is considered by and far the most deadly assassins in the Hunter × Hunter world. The family owns and lives at Kukuroo mountain, a dormant volcano in the Dentora region of the Republic of Padokia which stands 3772 meters. Their estate is surrounded by huge stone walls guarded by a giant dog named Mike and highly skilled attendants. Few people unrelated to the family have any idea what is within the estate. There is lots of mystery surrounding the Zoldyck family; a single photo of any of the members can be sold for millions.

Children in the family are trained from birth in the art of assassination, although each member of the family has the privilege to choose the specialty of their forte and liking as they grow up. For example, the oldest child Illumi seems to be a master of disguise; whereas the next oldest, Milluki, is a computer wizard and expert hacker. In every generation, there appears to be a prodigy child whom would be named as their heir. Currently, the heir to the Zoldyck business is Killua, one of the four main characters of Hunter × Hunter, though Killua has stated that he has no desire to inherit his family's occupation. It is believed that each member of Zoldyck's family begun their training from their date of birth.

They possess a unique set of talents: resistance to almost all types of poison, the ability to tolerate high amounts of electricity, and immense strength (Killua was able to open a 16-ton door before receiving any form of nen training).

1) Maha Zoldyck

Maha Zoldyck is Zeno's grandfather and the oldest assassin in the Zoldyck family. Maha has only appeared once in the series along with Kalluto and Illumi on a mission to kill the Ten Dons in Yorknew City in chapter 100 of the manga. Maha is the only Enhancer in the Zoldyck family, and is the eldest Zoldyck at the age of 98. It is also noted by Zeno that Netero is the only man alive that has ever survived a fight with him.

2) Zeno Zoldyck

Zeno Zoldyck (ゼノ ゾルディック Zeno Zorudikku?) Zeno is Killua's grandfather and Silva's father. A witty old man, his advancing age has not dampened his quick thinking and speed in battle. Zeno wears alternating signs on his garb that say either "A Kill A Day" or "Never Retire." He appears to be on good terms with the Hunter Committee's Chairman, Netero, who hired Zeno to assault Ming Jol-ik's palace in East Gorteau in order to catch the chimera ant king off guard. He noticeably hesitates in the battle when he realizes the King has come to care for the safety of a human prisoner. Zeno favors Killua more than his other grandchildren. Zeno Zoldyck is voiced by Tadashi Miyazawa.

3) Silva Zoldyck

Silva Zoldyck (シルバ ゾルディック Shiruba Zorudikku?) Silva is Killua's father. A silent, pensive figure, Killua's interaction with him seems limited. He allows Killua to go along with Gon on their journey to find his father, but only because he sees it as a crucial step in his development as the head assassin of the Zoldyck Family. During the Southernpiece Auction in Yorknew City, Silva and Zeno are both hired by the Ten Dons to assassinate the Phantom Troupe, but withdraw from the job when their clients are killed due to a job taken by Illumi, Maha, and Kalluto. Silva recently appeared amid the assault on the Palace in East Gorteau, killing Cheetu on the way to pick up his father. He has killed an unknown member of the Phantom Troupe according to Killua. Silva Zoldyck is voiced by Kouji Ishii.

4) Kikyō Zoldyck

Kikyō Zoldyck (キキョウ ゾルディック Kikyō Zorudikku?) is Killua's mother. She was injured attempting to prevent Killua from running away from home to take the Hunter Exam, although she is proud of Killua for doing so. She is the maternal figure of the Zoldyck family and is an assassin herself. She seems to be slightly paranoid and is cautious of Killua's friends. Kikyō is looking forward in Killua to excel in assassination and anticipate that one day, he will continue on with the family business. According to Illumi, Killua is her favorite son. Kikyō Zoldyck is voiced by Rena Yukie.

5) Illumi Zoldyck

Illumi Zoldyck (イルミ ゾルディック Irumi Zorudikku?) is Killua's eldest brother. He is an experienced assassin, whom along with his father was responsible for Killua's training and upbringing. During the 287th Hunter's Exam, Illumi disguised himself as Gittarackur, using special pins to change his entire facial structure to the point where he can only be recognized by his voice. An oppressive aura from him makes even Killua fearful and wary whenever he approaches Illumi. Illumi holds a twisted and emotionless love for Killua. Illumi and Silva raised Killua to believe that the only thing sustaining him was darkness, and that the only joy he received through the world was in causing the death of others. He was also responsible for planting a needle within Killua's brain, forcing the latter to run from battles he was not sure he could win. Illumi did this to ensure that Killua would able to live to carry on the family business and as a means of protecting his little brother. This needle is self-extracted by Killua in the battle against Rammot. A certain amount of friendship is shared between Hisoka and Illumi, although it is unclear as to how it could have developed. Illumi once came to the aid of Hisoka by standing for him as a double in the Troupe hideout whilst Hisoka attempted to find Chrollo. Illumi Zoldyck is voiced by Urara Takano.

6) Milluki Zoldyck

Milluki Zoldyck (ミルキ＝ゾルディック Miruki Zorudikku?) is Killua's second eldest brother and an obese figure who possesses a strong aversion to performing any kind of physical activity. In fact, prior to the Yorkshin City auctions, Milluki had not left the mansion in eight years. He seems to be a sort of otaku, since his room is covered with female figurines from various anime and computer games. Milluki is talented in hacking computer systems, as Killua asked him to hack a memory card from Ging. He was also injured during Killua's escape. Milluki is primarily in charge of torturing Killua as punishment, but does not have the drive to carry it out very long as it is exhausting and extreme physical exertion is needed. After being tipped off the whereabouts of Greed Island, Milluki's excitement resulted in one of the rarer moments in which he made an outside expedition in search of the game. However, he was unable to win a copy and left in frustration. Milluki Zoldyck is voiced by Katashi Ishizuka.
