About
A PLZ account is a regular DeviantART account which was created purely for the use of the avatar. Usually the Icons are meme-related and they are extremely popular in DeviantART.
They are called Plz Accounts due to the mass majority of them ending in the 3 letters ‘PLZ’ to not only ensure a usable DeviantART name is not taken, but to also identify their purpose.
It is hard to determine when the first PLZ was created, but the oldest accounts are 2 to 6 years old.
Like the wtfplz which Unfortunately was Banned and the Avatar was removed.

The avatar can be a 50 × 50 pixels picture, which can be either Animated or Static.
Combo
There are PLZ accounts which can be combined together, to form a bigger image. A good example is the Wormhappyplz (pictured), created by Billythegoat101. It is a worm version of the Awesome Smile, with various things to customize it, like a bikini, a big mouth, arms, etc.
Longcatarmplz, longcatheadplz, longcatbodyplz, longcatbody2plz, longcatbody3plz, longcatfeetplz and longcattailplz together form a picture of longcat.
Because the maximum size of an User avatar in DeviantART is very Limited (50×50 pixels) some pictures are too big.
So the users creates various plz accounts, that together form a bigger picture. (This can be called either Combo or Mosaic
Reaction Guys is one of the Newest Examples.
