Irkens

    Ilk 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ilk_by_ladyanaconda_dcuqy05_fullview.jpg
Ilk's age chart.

Biological child of Almighty Tallest Red, Ilk's perhaps the most beloved Irken in the Massive (alongside her father and uncle, of course), especially since she doesn't discriminate about height. Just a thing: don't call her a princess. She's not a damsel in distress who requires a man to come save her, thank you very much!

  • Action Girl: Ilk would rather fight her own battles than let others fight for her, unlike her father and uncle.
  • Animal Talk: She was able to communicate with a swarm of space roaches and get them to board a escape pod to get them out of the Massive.
  • An Arm and a Leg: She nearly lost a leg to an Indokuro attack a when she was young, but it regrew.
  • Baby's First Words: Her first word was Zim, much to her father's dismay.
  • Battle Couple: With Blue.
  • Be Yourself: Ilk was afraid of telling her father that she had no intention of becoming an Invader like him because she didn't want to disappoint him. At the end of Lost, she has finally opened up to Red, and he accepts it.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Sister in this case.
  • Big Eater: Got it from dad. She left an infirmary at the mention of snacks despite being weak over her injuries.
  • Black Sheep: Unlike the rest of her race, Ilk doesn't discriminate because of one's height, she's pretty open-minded and overall she lacks the drive that leads the Irken race to subjugate 'inferior' species.
  • Bonding over Missing Parents: She befriends Blue after learning they have this in common.
  • Cool Big Sis: To Rouge, her half brother.
  • Cry into Chest: As a smeet, she did this very often with her father.
  • Daddy's Girl: Ilk's very close to her father Red, particularly because he was the one who raised her. She's still exasperated by his habit of treating her like a smeet, though.
  • Damsel in Distress: Averted. Ilk rarely needs someone to save her unless she's somehow incapacitated.
  • Don't Wake the Sleeper: As a smeet, she didn't take it kindly to being awakened from her nap.
  • Drives Like Crazy: As a smeet, she drove the Massive around space with its remote controller, throwing everybody inside around.
  • Eaten Alive: Briefly by Zimkro near the end of Indokani.
  • Engagement Challenge: Ilk goes through this alongside Blue in order to prove she is worthy to be his mate.
  • Family Eye Resemblance: She has her father's crimson red eyes.
  • Fearless Infant: Ilk was quite daring as a smeet. She constantly crawled out of her cradle and wandered around the Massive looking for her father, sometimes even going through dark and narrow ventilation ducts.
  • First Kiss: Downplayed. She actually shared a hug with Blue, but in Sobrekt culture, this can be considered the equivalent of the first kiss.
  • First Pet Story: Ilk's first was a goldfish from Zim. Sadly, Purple kiled it by accident and they got a replacement one, only for it to die of old sage shortly after.
  • The Ghost: Downplayed in Pre-Parental Panic, as she doesn't directly appear, but is mentioned a few times. Justified, as she's implied to be with Blue.
  • Healing Factor: Thanks to the Moondrop Flower stolen from Sobr to save her from a fatal disease, Ilk gained the ability to regenerate missing limbs and heal minor injuries, much like the Sobrekt themselves.
    • Later on, this particular trait enables Red to make a deal with the Control Brains at the end of Lost: she will donate some of her DNA to give this trait to future generations of smeets in exchange for not being assigned as an Invader.
  • I Got Bigger: She had a considerable growth spurt during her years in the Academy. By the time Indokani takes place, she reaches up to Red's chest, much to his delight.
  • Interspecies Friendship: She's more than happy to make friends with other species, including a young Screwhead and Sobrekt, including her love interest.
  • Interspecies Romance: She's in a relationship with Blue, a Sobrekt.
  • It Runs in the Family: Her crimson red eyes, stubborness, big appetite, and habit of forgetting certain words all come from her father.
  • Kids Driving Cars: During her early years, she was able to hack a ship to change its coordinates to Earth. In Lost, she snuck out of the Massive in one.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Or in this case, like father, like daughter.
  • Marry for Love: she and Blue truly love each other.
  • Meet the In-Laws: Blue met her mother-in-law offscreen at some time before Indokani and they seem to be on relatively good terms.
  • Missing Child: One one occasion, she changed her ship's coordinates to Earth instead of Irk, wanting to visit Zim. However, she forgot to inform the people waiting on Irk, leading everyone to assume she was kidnapped on-route by rebels.
  • Missing Mom: Ilk's biological mother died at childbirth, so she lacked a maternal figure during her early years. Further explored in a chapter of The Smeet' in which she becomes interested in maternal affection after watching Dumbo''.
  • Near-Death Experience: Has one after a branch goes right through her abdomen. She's saved thanks to her self-regeneration abilities.
  • Parental Substitute: Lena is like a surrogate mother to Ilk, perhaps the first maternal she's ever had in her life.
  • Rule of Empathy: Ilk has a deep sense of empathy which enables her to actually bond with non-Irkens, unlike the rest of her people. This is what later enables her to fall in love with Blue and befriend enslaved species such as a Screwhead.
    • This unique quirk is what makes her unfit for the Invader job, as she can grow attached to any other species and this would have made it impossible for her to eventually betray them to the Irken Empire.
  • So Proud of You: After recovering from her fatal wound, Ilk and Red have a heartfelt talk and he assures her that he'll always be proud of her regardless of the path she wishes to take.
    • Additionally, after succesfully escaping from Hoth, Ilk manages to get a reasonable ceasefire agreement with the Sobrekt leader by herself, which further makes her father proud.
  • Shared Family Quirks: Ilk is as much of a big eater as her father. She quickly darted out of the Ibris's infirmary at the mention of snacks despite being barely recovered from her previous injuries. Additionally, she has trouble in remembering certain words, much like Red.
  • Stubborn Mule: Ilk got this trait from her father. She's constantly
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Ilk is the spitting image of her father.
  • Sweet Tooth: Her favorite types of snacks are sugary ones, especially donuts.
  • Team Mom: To the Raptor Squad, sort of. She usually stands between during arguments and tries to keep them together.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: Since she arrived to the Massive when she was just a smeet, she's technically the youngest Irken living on the Irken flagship.

    Lena 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dczhagb_03c4ba5b_cc1d_4808_b8df_b28ed7721aec.jpg
Lena

The Massive's newest doctor as well as Tallest Red's love interest. What she lacks in combat ability she more than makes it up with her medical knowledge and her bigger sense of empathy.

  • AB Negative: She has a rare blood type.
  • Accidental Murder: She didn't intend to kill the Hothian soldier, but it was an instinctive reaction.
  • Action Girl: Averted. Lena is no fighter and would rather stay on the sidelines.
  • Benevolent Boss: She's nicer to her subordinates than her husband. In Lost, she promised Bob to get him a longer break for his spine.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Lena might not be naturally violent, but she's still an Irken. Messing with those she cares about ought to remind her of that.
  • Blanket Fort: In Pre-Parental Panic, she's made one to act as a den during the last term of her pregnancy, and then gives birth in it.
  • Combat Medic: Averted. Lena implies that she forfeited the soldier training in favour of training mainly as a medical drone. Thus, she lacks any combat ability.
  • Closer to Earth: She is more level-headed and rational than Red and Purple, and more likely to think things through.
  • Damsel in Distress: Due to her lack of combat abilities, she's often in this situation.
    • The clearest example is in Lost, where she was easily subdued and knocked out by Captain and taken hostage by the Hothians in two occasions during the climax.
    • Happens again in Pre-Parental Panic when she's taken hostage by Vortians while pregnant, except that this time, she outright kills her captors when she goes momentarily feral after her water breaks.
  • Determined Doctor: Her patients' welfare comes before anything.
  • Disposable Love Interest: Averted. Red made it clear she wants no one but her by his side.
  • Freak Out: She loses it after killing a Hothian in self defense, which violated her doctor's oath.
  • Friendship as Courtship: Her romance with Red started like this.
  • First Kiss: Red kisses her the Irken way (antenna-touching) just as she's awakening in the Ibris's med bay.
  • Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: While she forgives Red for his undue hostility earlier, she makes it clear that she won't trust him again until he has earned it. Thankfully, he did.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Played with. Despite her gentle nature and somewhat dorky habits, Lena has a firm resolve and will not stand for being pushed around or given undue unfairness. This is mostly evident after Red's outburst at her in Lost. She coldly rejects his apology and tells him she'll quit her job on the Massive when they go back despite his pleas.
  • Good Stepmother: Lena sees Ilk as her own child.
  • Happily Married: By the time Indokani takes place, she and Red are happily married.
  • Hands-On Approach: Red helps her like this while giving her tips about combat moves.
  • The Heart: She's always taking care of those around her, and tries to encourage them to get along.
  • Hot Consort: She's attractively tall, has a rare eye color and has a thin frame, which in Irken standards is deemed as attractive.
  • Hysterical Woman: After her first kill, she goes hysterical for violating her doctor's oath.
  • Imperiled in Pregnancy: In Pre-Parental Panic, a group of Vortian slaves take her hostage when she's near the end of the pregnancy term.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Her eyes are a shade of cyan-green blue.
  • Interspecies Friendship: She's in relatively good terms with the Raptor Squad.
  • Jacob and Esau: Subverted. She loves both Ilk and Rouge equally, but is closer to Rouge because she carried him inside her womb and the smeet is extra attached to her because of this.
  • Killing in Self-Defense: In Lost, Lena resorts to this when a Hothian is about to kill her.
  • Love Confession: Gets one from Red in Lost.
  • Love Hurts: She becomes heartbroken when Red screams at her that she's not Ilk's mother, has no say in her upbringing and should remember her place and becomes convinced he doesn't care for her.
  • Mama Bear: She goes completely feral and kills her Vortian kidnappers when she goes into labor to protect her unborn smeet.
  • Maternity Crisis: Lena goes into labor just as she's being held at gunpoint by Vortians.
  • My Secret Pregnancy: She decides to keep her pregnancy a secret from Red to avoid stressing him out even more.
  • Obvious Pregnancy: Downplayed. Since she's only carrying one egg (and the size of an Irkenette's belly during pregnancy depends on how many eggs she's carrying), her abdomen didn't swell that much.
  • One-Night-Stand Pregnancy: Played with. She and Red are already married by the time they have drunken sex in Indokani.
  • Parental Substitute: Lena acts as a motherly figure for Ilk.
  • Picky Eater: In Pre-Parental Panic, she becomes picky with food and often changes her mind about her cravings.
  • Pregnancy Test Plot: When Gaz points out she might be pregnant, Lena does one to see if she's right. It comes out positive.
  • Screaming Birth: Averted in Pre-Parental Panic, as she's never mentioned to have screamed during the labour. This implies that Irken labor isn't as painful as other species'.
  • Take a Third Option: She gives Red one when Iraa holds her hostage by shooting herself in the shoulder and distracting him.
  • Take My Hand!: Red holds her hand assuringly before they jump off the Hothian ship before it crashes.
  • Team Mom: to Red and Purple when they 'act like smeets'.
  • To Be Lawful or Good: Due to her doctor's oath, Lena is reluctant to end a life, even if neccesary. This causes her to break down after her first kill even though it was in self-defense.
  • The Medic: Lena's main job is a doctor. She was assigned to work on the Massive' due to her height and'' skill.
  • Wacky Cravings: She takes a strange liking of Sobrekt cuisinem which involves live critters and organs fried in oil due to her pregnancy.
  • You Remind Me of X: Lena's uncanny resemblance to Tallest Miyuki, Red's first love, is what attracts him in the first place.

    Red 

Almighty Tallest Red is mostly portrayed as in the show: Brilliant, but Lazy. but additionally is made more responsible and serious than his co-Tallest, courtesy of having to look after a smeet.

  • AB Negative: He has a very rare blood type, the same as Lena, which enables him to give her some of his blood to save her life.
  • Action Dad: Has shown that he's willing to go to greath lenghts for Ilk in various occasions.
    • Causing the Sobrekt's wrath by stealing a one-of-a-kind flower from their home planet to get the main ingredient to cure Ilk from Drilo's Disease.
    • Hunting down and torturing rebels throughout the galaxy when he thought they had kidnapped Ilk.
    • Chasing the Sobrekt with only a few Invaders after they kidnap Ilk and Lena, even though they ended up stranded in a barren planet.
    • Focusing a wendigo-like carnivore's attention on himself to give Ilk time to get away.
    • Going straight into battle against Hothians despite his injured state.
  • Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: In Indokani he signed a permission slip allowing Skoodge and Bob to bet the Massive after a single shot of Soberkt alcohol.
  • Anger Born of Worry: He gets mad at Ilk when she runs into battle against the Hothians when he had told her not to. Ignoring the fact that she showed great skill in combat, she endangered her life and could have died. In Pre-Parental Panic he becomes pissed at the warden for allowing a group of Vortians to take his pregnant wife hostage.
  • Anti-Smother Love Talk: He gets one from Captain after Ilk is run through by a branch and nearly dies, and is forced to come to terms with the fact that Ilk is growing up and needs to have her own experiences.
  • Assassination Attempt: Suffers one at some point between The Smeet' and Lost'' from a pair of kryvtors.
  • Bad Boss: He doesn't care about the wellbeing of his underlings unless they're tall, give them snacks or both. The most evident examples are Invader Larb and Lena.
  • Bar Brawl: Got into one in Indokani after getting drunk.
  • Battle Couple: He and Lena, though it's more on his side.
  • Best Friend: Purple. Further proven in Indokani, when he was willing to sacrifice the Massive to ensure Purple's safety, even commenting that the Massive can be replaced, but Purple can't.
  • Big "WHAT?!": After being informed that Sendou is painting the Massive green.
  • Big Word Shout: Does this with Zim's name after the later accidentally becomes Ilk's first word.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: While the smartest and more independent of the two Tallest, he's spent too much time snacking and letting his skills rust, though he was still skilled enough to infiltrate Sobr and steal a flower. He gets back in shape somewhat during the events of Lost.
  • Broken Tears: Red sheds this as he holds his dying daughter in his arms, even begging Lena to save her.
  • Buffy Speak: Terrible with words.
  • Character Development:
    • During the events of the smeet, he becomes more responsible as he gets used to looking after Ilk as he gets attached to her.
    • In Lost, he comes to terms with Ilk growing up and having to make her own choices while dealing with his newfound feelings for Lena.
  • In Indokani, he recognizes that he's been selfish in excluding Purple and hurting his co-ruler's feelings with his constant complains about Cheesecake instead of helping him.
    • In Pre-Parental Panic, a new side of him is shown. He's afraid of going through another loss like Miyuki's, and of what he might become should it happen again.
  • Childhood Friends: He and Purple have known each other literally since their birth.
  • Cooldown Hug: Gives one to Lena as she breaks down over her first kill as he comforts her.
  • Code Name: 'Red' is the name he was given by the Control Brains when inaugurated as Tallest. His real name is unknown, so far.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While usually lazy and carefree, when Ilk, Purple or Lena are endangered, you better stay out of his way.
  • Disappointed in You: Tells this to Ilk after she finally snaps and tells her she doesn't want to be an Invader.
  • Disposable Love Interest: Played with. After Iraa takes Lena hostage, Red tries to pull this card, but it fails because he cares too much about her.
  • Doesn't Know Their Own Child: He didn't realize Ilk didn't want to be an Invader nor her insecurity over bonding with other species until she finally tells him straight out.
  • Doting Parent: He loves his smeet and loves to pamper her, though this led to him always seeing her as his little smeet even after she grows up.
  • Empty Nest: It's implied he got it after Ilk left for the Academy.
  • Enemy Mine: Throughout Lost with Captain in order to make it alive out of Hoth, though by the end of the story they have grown to respect each other.
  • Fainting: After learning from a message, and not in person, that Ilk is getting married to Blue.
  • Face Palm: Does this when frustrated or annoyed.
  • Family Eye Resemblance: His daughter has his same eye color.
  • Freak Out: Right at the start of Pre-Parental Panic, when he thinks Lena has gone into labor.
  • Friendly Enemy: By the end of Lost, he is on more or less 'friendly' terms with Captain, though neither will admit it.
  • First Kiss: While waiting for Lena to wake up, he leans forward and touches her antenna with his, the Irken equivalent of a kiss.
  • Follow in My Footsteps: He wants Ilk to become an Invader because he was one in his youth.
  • For Your Own Good: His main reasoning behind certain decisions he took regarding Ilk. He made her believe that the indokuro attack in which she lost a leg was a nightmare and withheld the Control Brains' warning from her to protect her feelings, even though this would later damage the foundation of trust between him and his daughter.
  • Good Parents: Red turns out to be a decent father for Ilk despite his flaws.
  • Grand Romantic Gesture: Sharing a snack with Lena and then donating his blood to save her blood counts, as both are things no Tallest would ever do for anyone unless they really for them.
    • For his marriage proposal, he carved "Will you marry me?" in one of the recent conquered planets with the Massive's laser cannons.
  • Happily Married: With Lena by the time Indokani takes place.
  • Her Heart Will Go On: inverted gender. Red lost Miyuki, but she still holds a special place in his heart.
  • Heel Realization: Twice. First when he realizes he was unjustly harsh on Lena, and the second when Captain makes him realize that he wanted Ilk to become an Invader to relive his own glory days.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: When he comforts Lena, he recalls his own murder of the two kryvtor assassins in self-defense, but he feels no shame about it. As he put it, it was them or him, Ilk and Purple.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Throughout Indokani, he shows constant disregard for Cheesecake for the latter's misbehavior despite knowing Purple loves him as his own child. Also, while he had good intentions when he had Zim sabotage other competitors to help Purple stay in the exams, he didn't take his co-Tallest's feelings into account, which led to Purple feeling betrayed.
  • Insultof Endearment: Captain refers to him as 'Irken' instead of My Tallest or even Your Tallest, but Red doesn't seem to mind anymore.
  • If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: After Blue and Ilk get married, Red gives the former a look conveying this.
  • Jacob and Esau: Subverted. While he loves his two children equally, Red's closer to Ilk because he raised her from the diapers and has had more time to bond with her. Besides, Rouge spends more time with his mother.
  • Jaw Drop: Near the end of Lost when the Ibris comes out of hyperspace and finds the Irken Armada in a chaotic battle against the Sobrekt one.
  • Keeping Secrets Sucks:
    • Hid the fact that Purple killed Ilk's fish when toying with it and they replaced it.
    • Hid the indokuro attack and the moondrop flower theft from Ilk.
    • Hid his blood relation to Ilk from most of the universe, though this one is justified as it is to keep her safe from his enemies.
    • Hid the information about the toxicity of Hoth's atmosphere from Ilk and the Sobrekt.
    • Hid the sabotage on other participants in the indokani exams from Purple.
  • Kick the Morality Pet: After slapping Ilk and while arguing with Blue, he turns on Lena when she tries to talk him down, calling her a mere medical drone, screaming at her that she'll never be Ilk's mother and to mind her own business. He later regrets this.
  • Killing in Self-Defense: His reason for killing the two kryvtor assassins and whoever comes against him and Purple.
  • Like an Old Married Couple: His relationship with Captain resumed.
  • Love Confession: He tells Lena that he loves her after finally escaping from Hoth, and then aboard the Massive, asking her for a chance to prove his love is sincere.
  • Love Hurts: Played with. He's heartbroken when Ilk nearly dies in his arms (paternal love) and then when Lena rejects him as he tries to apologize (romantic love).
  • Love Interests: First Miyuki, then Lena.
  • Making the Choice for You: He had already decided that Ilk would be an Invader without even asking her opinion about it.
  • Meet The Inlaws: Played with. He meets his fellow in-law, Blue's mother, in Indokani, and it's plainly obvious she hates his guts for murdering her mate and father-in-law, though thankfully she keeps civil about it.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Although he was only trying to help Purple, keeping it a secret from him made Purple believe Red didn't believe in him, hurting his feelings.
  • Nom de Guerre: He's only referred to by his Tallest name 'Red', as nobody except the Control Brains and his co-Tallest know what his real name is.
    • It's highly likely that Ilk may know it.
    • In Indokani, it's mentioned that Lena knows it, as she's now his wife.
  • Notorious Parent: He's one of the Almighty Tallest of the Irken Empire, feared throughout the universe, and Ilk's father.
  • Oh, Crap!: Happens often.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: "Red" is a codename, not his real name.
  • Pacing a Trench: Lampshaded by Purple.
    Purple: You know, if you weren't hovering, you'd make a ditch.
  • Panicky Expectant Father: In Pre-Parental Panic he loses it twice. The first when he believes Lena has gone into labor, and the second when she actually does.
  • Papa Wolf: Do not mess with his baby smeet if you know what's good for you.
    • Further proved in Indokani when he chases after Blue with his PAK-weapons after learning that he and Ilk must be naked for their wedding ceremony.
  • Parental Love Song: He sings a modified version of Baby Mine to Ilk to soothe her down. Unfortunately for him, Purple recorded it.
  • Please Put Some Clothes On: His reaction after realizing Captain is naked in Lost.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Leader of the Irken Empire, and he has red eyes.
  • Red Is Heroic: Played with. As his name implies, his main coloration is red. But while a major character in the series, he's far from being 'heroic', given his awful attitude with people and would rather have others fight his battles.
  • Rejected Apology: Lena rejects his apology for having been a jerk to her.
  • Resentful Guardian: Averted. While he was uncertain of Ilk's presence at first and tried to return her, by the end of the first chapter of the Smeet he's grown attached to her.
  • Rock–Paper–Scissors: Has one with Captain to decide the best way to go down the cliff, but his lack of a thumb makes it harder to tell which sign he's making.
  • Sarcasm Mode: Constantly uses it, especially when annoyed over something.
  • Second Love: Lena.
  • Stubborn Mule: Once he sets his mind, there's no changing it.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Ilk has most of his traits, particularly his crimson eyes and skin tone.
    • Since it's never specified how her mother looked like, it's hard to determine whether she has any of her physical traits.
  • Take Me to Your Leader: Demands this to Captain after learning of the Massive's take over.
  • Take My Hand!: He holds Lena's hand reassuringly
  • The Bet: Makes one with Purple in The Smeet over Ilk's first word, then one with Sendou in Indokani to win back the Massive from him: if Cheesecake defeats Maugrim in an upcoming tournament, he'll give it back.
  • The Mourning After: Subverted. While he did mourn Miyuki for a long time and part of him still loves her, Red did move on and fell in love with Lena. Her vague resemblance to Miyuki may have played a role on it, though.
  • The Unapologetic: He outright refuses to apologize to Blue for killing his grandfather and father. In a way he is right, as he was merely defending himself from two assassins and doesn't regret doing it in the least.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Donuts and a bunch of cinnamon rolls Tallest Miyuki made for him.
  • Worthless Foreign Degree: He was the best of his generation in the Iken military, but he cannot wield a simple longsword without difficulty.
    • On his defense, the Irken Military doesn't use such 'primitive weapons, instead relying on long-distance plasma guns, riffles, cannons and electric spears. As such, Red probably has little to no experience in hand-to-hand weapons.
      • Additionally, since Sobrekt are of larger size, even their long-range weapons are considerably bigger and heavier than Irken weaponry.

    Purple 

Almighty Tallest Purple is mostly portrayed as in the show: immature, childish and less independent than his co-Tallest. However, he's also shown with Hidden Depths whenever the situation calls for it.

  • A Boy and His X: He and Cheesecake.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Is called 'Pur' by Red. Ilk calls him Uncle Pur.
  • Anxiety Dreams: In Indokani, he has a nightmare about Cheesecake leaving him behind and being killed by Maugrim, and everybody mocking him for his failures.
  • Assassination Attempt:
    • Suffered one with Red when two kryvtors snuck into the Massive. Thankfuly, it failed.
    • In Indokani, he's hunted down and nearly killed during the final examination by a group of former aspirants who were disqualified thanks to Red's sabotage.
  • Bad Boss: He doesn't care about the wellbeing of his underlings unless they're tall, give them snacks or both. The most evident examples are Invader Larb and Lena.
  • Berserk Button: Messing with his snacks, messing with ''cheesecake' or messing with his niece.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Don't be fooled by his childish and immature tendencies. He has a darker side if you know which buttons to press.
  • Big Eater: Like in the show, he's constantly portrayed eating something.
  • Bound and Gagged: Got this treatment in Lost thrice.
  • Bridal Carry: Captain had to carry him in the climax of Lost
  • Character Development: Goes through this the most during the events of Indokani, realizing that he hasn't been acting as an actual leader to the Irken Empire and has little achievements to brag about compared to Red and Zim, but overall that he's been too selfish in refusing to accept responsibility for Cheesecake's actions and not wanting to see his defects.
  • Call-Back: In Pre-Parental Panic he calls Bob for a refill, forgetting that he had been fired after the events of Indokani, and has to be reminded.
  • Childhood Friends: With Red.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While even more irresponsible than Red, Purple too has hidden skills, particularly his academic knowledge and ability to fix things. E.G: Repairing the oven single-handedly just to get his donut production back on track, and piloting the Ibris out of Hoth while Marousi and Foxtrot were too weak to do so. Especially highlighted in Indokani, where he reveals himself to be a capable fighter, being able to expertly wield Sobrekt twin swords, use the environment to his advantage, and defend himself against assassins.
  • Code Name: 'Purple' is the name he was given by the Control Brains when inaugurated as Tallest. His real name is unknown, so far.
  • Compressed Abstinence: Gets something similar to this during the first few hours on Hoth after Fury eats all of his doughnut supply. He wails all night and then hallucinates with bugs. Red has even dubbed these episodes as Doughnut Abstinence Syndrome, DAS for short.
  • Cool Uncle: Acts as this towards Ilk, and often pampers her more than Red.
  • Delicious Distraction: In The Smeet, he gets distracted by a newly-baked bunch of cinnamon rolls and leaves Ilk alone with a bag of discarded doughnuts despite being told not to give her any sugar.
  • Doting Parent: To Cheesecake. He fails to properly discipline or train him and instead pampers him with food and affection.
  • Egg Sitting: While in Hoth, he looked after Cheesecakes egg while Masouri and the others were forced to repair the Ibris by the Hothians, and ended up hatching him. Then in Indokani, the first stage of the Indokani exams involved looking a fake egg during an entire day.
  • Feed by Example: He eats some baby food in The Smeet to prompt Ilk to eat and ends up eating it himself. In Lost he does the same with Cheesecake to show him donuts are food.
  • First Pet Story: Indokani focuses on him and Cheesecake.
  • Freak Out: He goes into full-panic mode after confronting Sendou over his take over of the Massive.
  • Friendly Enemy: After the events of Lost, he gains a newfound respect for the Raptor Squad and the Sobrekt even though he still acts like a jerk somewhat in Indokani.
  • Greater Need Than Mine: Purple realizes that Cheesecake will never be truly happy onboard the Massive and releases him in Sobr.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He has the shorter fuse of the two Tallest.
  • Hidden Depths: He shows his hidden skills throughout the series:
    • In The Smeet, he was mentioned to have fixed an oven on his own just to get his doughnuts made.
    • In Lost, he acted more like a leader to the other Invaders when separated from Red and was able to pilot the Ibris out of Hoth.
    • In Indokani he reveals himself to be a capable swordsman when he eventually defends himself from an assassination attempt.
  • Interspecies Romance: implied at the end of Indokani with Akkono.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Non-romantic example. At the end of Indokani, Purple realizes that Cheesecake will be happier and healthier living in the wild with his packmates in Sobr, so he decides to set him free.
  • Jaw Drop: Near the end of Lost when the Ibris comes out of hyperscape and finds the Irken Armada in a chaotic battle against the Sobrekt one.
  • Let Us Never Speak of This Again: With the Invaders when they see him being carried bridal style by Captain due to his injured leg. Even threatens to throw them out of the airlock in person should they speak of this to anyone.
  • Naïve Animal Lover: While he loves Cheesecake, he has no knowledge about an indokuro's needs and unintentionally fails to provide him a proper diet and care.
  • Nom de Guerre: He's only referred to by his Tallest name 'Purple', as nobody except the Control Brains and his co-Tallest know what his real name is.
    • It's highly likely that Ilk may know it.
  • Oh, Crap!: After dropping the incubator and cracking the indokuro egg in Lost.
  • Pet Monstrosity: Cheesecake, his pet indokuro.
  • Post-Victory Collapse: Purple faints running a few meters in a race in Indokani; thankfully, he passed to the next stage.
  • Power-Strain Blackout: Due to years of neglecting his physical condition, Purple gets exhausted shortly after running in a short race and even requires an oxygen mask.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Highlighted. Purple is one of the Almighty Tallest, ruler of the Irken Empire, the most powerful force in the universe.
    • Additionally, in Indokani he reveals a more battle-capable side to him after successfully fending off seven assassins all by himself.
  • Stubborn Mule: Much like Red, there's no changing his mind when he sets on something, and certainly refuses to admit he's wrong.
  • Sweet Tooth: He can't go on without his donuts and snacks for too long, as mentioned up above.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: In Lost he's forced to come to a temporal truce with the rest of the Raptor Squad so they can focus on making it alive out of Hoth.
  • The Nose Knows: Was able to smell cinnamon rolls in the Massive's kitchen all the way from Red's room, and could tell Zim was carrying donuts.
  • Third Wheel: To Lena and Red, who have become a couple after Lost.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Donuts. He even has a private stash of exclusive flavors.
  • You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Once you make him angry, beware. Hell will break loose.
  • Worthless Foreign Degree: Akko's lecture points out that his height and rank have no value when he has no personal achievements to be proud of.

    Rouge 

Red and Lena's newborn smeet and Ilk's half-brother. While young, he already shows signs of his personality.

  • The Baby of the Bunch: he's the youngest character in the series so far.
  • Brainy Baby: He can understand what's going on around him despite his young age to the point he can express his emotions in many ways other than wailing.
  • It Runs in the Family: he has his mother's eye color.
  • Kangaroo Pouch Ride: Rouge spends most of his time inside a pouch Lena sews on her robes' abdomen for him, as Irkenettes used to carry their smeets in pouches.
  • Momma's Boy: Rouge is very attached to his mother and cries when she goes away. This is actually natural, as newborn babies tend to be more attached to their mothers because they believe they are one and the same. Lena is very attached to her smeet herself.
  • The Speechless: Subverted. Being a newborn, Rouge cant talk, but he communicates via sounds like squeaks, growls, whimpers, etc.

The Raptor Squad

A Elite squad of four kryvtors and an indokuro often assigned to work in the field. They were introduced in Lost.

    In General 

  • Alien Animals: They are Kryvtors, anthropomorphic velociraptors.
  • Berserk Button: In common, they hate when somebody endangers a member of their team, as they are fiercely protective of each other. Individually:
    • Blue: someone daring to hurt Ilk, Fury or his pack mates.
    • Masouri: someone damaging his beloved Ibris.
    • Echo: anyone, anyone, calling her weak or underestimating her because of gender.
    • Foxtrot: Still unknown.
    • Fury: someone grabbing his tail or trying to take his food.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Blue for Blue, orange for Masouri, purple for Foxtrot and green for Echo, black for Fury.
  • Combat and Support: They fight together as a team, most evidently during the climax in Lost.
  • Cool Ship: The Ibris.
  • Character Shilling: They idolize Zim due to all the things he inadvertently did to the Irken Empire.
  • Character Tic: They tap their talon claws, much like actual velociraptors, when stressed, anxious or to communicate via secret code.
  • Cross-Cultural Handshake: In accordance to Sobrekt culture regarding physical touch, they will give their tails in place of their hands for a 'handshake'.
  • Dual Wielding: All of the team carries twin weapons.
    • Blue has twin laser kunai.
    • Masouri has butterfly twin swords.
    • Echo has dual sai.
    • Foxtrot has twin swords.
  • Hates Being Touched: According to Sobrekt culture, physical touch is a form of showing affection in an intimate way, so they seldom touch other people, let alone each other. E.G. In Lost, Foxtrot gave Purple his tail to shake instead of his hand.
    • This is how Red realized that Blue felt something for Ilk when he caught him hugging her, which is the Sobrekt equivalent of a first kiss.
  • Healing Factor: Their body can regenerate lost limbs and tissue, but unlike Ilk, they need a special gel for minor and major wounds alike.
  • History with Celebrity: With Zim, who is a celebrity amongst the Sobrekt.
  • Inspired by…: Their namesake Raptor Squad from Jurassic World. Echo and Blue even have their names unchanged, though the latter is shown as a male.
  • Interspecies Friendship: They are on pretty neutral terms with the Irken Empire, and are particularly close to Ilk's family due to their experiences in Hoth.
  • Ninjas: From their attires and combat style, and being kryvtors, they have great agility, stamina and are skilled in ninjutsu.
  • Sibling Team: Though not related by blood, it's evident they consider each other as brethren and packmates.
  • The Fettered: They are honorable and rarely resort to underhanded methods to achieve anything, if at all. Instead of outright killing the Tallest and the Invaders after they crashlanded on Hoth to rescue Lena and Ilk, they merely tied them up.
    • Additionally, Blue was willing to hunt for the Irkens to make up for Fury eating their ration of snacks.
  • The Smurfette Principle: There's only one female, Echo.
  • Undying Loyalty: The Raptor Squad are willing to risk their lives for each other.

  • Disappeared Dad: Blue never met his father because he left on a mission to assassinate the Tallest and never returned.

    • Then again, Red himself didn't regret it either.
  • First Kiss: Played with in Lost. It's more of a 'first hug', though, as Sobrekt don't kiss, and instead the hug is the equivalent.

  • Interspecies Friendship: He's friends (somewhat) with Zim, an Irken, to the point he invited the defective to his wedding.

Masouri

Pilot, mechanic and owner of the Ibris. Has a crush on Echo. Just don't tell her, okay?

  • Adventurer Outfit: Unlike his fellow kryvtors, his main outfit includes an orange scarf, black gloves, goggles and a leather waistband.
  • Butt-Monkey: Out of the four kryvtors, Masouri is most likely to get the short end of the stick in a plan.

  • Casanova Wannabe: He has a crush on Echo, but so far he's failed to catch her interest.

  • Just Friends: So far, he's been friend-zoned by Echo, his teammate and crush.

  • Spiky Hair: Instead of a typical crest other kryvtors have, his black feathers stick out from his head in many directions like spines.
  • The Engineer: He's the main mechanic to the Ibris, and is able to not only repair it, but adapt it to a type of metal that would enable it to work even with magnetic waves that previously rendered it nonfunctional.
  • The Precious, Precious Car: He adores the Ibris and he's not afraid to show it, particularly in Lost, where he wept after the crashland left it in a deplorable state, and then got mad whenever Iraa claimed it as his ship.
  • The Smart Guy: Of the Raptor Squad, he's the most intelligent and would rather resort to logic.
  • Watch the Paint Job: He absolutely detests when anyone makes a scratch on the Ibris, as shown in Lost.

  • Bound and Gagged: In Lost, she got this treatment during the climax, though it didn't last long as Ilk's party soon freed her.

  • Death Glare: Those who know her know to shut their mouths if she gives you this.

  • Just Friends: She's got Masouri in the friend zone.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: She's the most volatile of the four kryvtors.
  • Oblivious to Love: Though it's implied the Raptor Squad have known each other for a long time, she's doesn't seem to realize that Masouri is in love with her.
  • Original Character
  • Tomboy: There's not a single fiber of girly behavior in her entire body.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: In Lost, she acts openly hostile and distrustful of the Irkens. By the time of Indokani, she was warmed up to them considerably and is even willing to share a table with the Irken Invaders.
  • Tough Love: Her definition of 'showing affection' is giving you a smack on the shoulder or the back of your head.
  • Women Are Wiser: Played with. She's often shown as the more serious and mature of her entire squad, but she's also the most reckless and aggressive.

    Foxtrot 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iz__raptor_squad_by_ladyanaconda_dcrvwab_fullview_0.jpg
Foxtrot

The Ibris's communications officer. Don't worry if he seems like a jerk at first, he's actually a nice guy. It's just that he finds it amusing to make others think he isn't.

  • Afraid of Needles:
  • Captain Obvious: Has a habit of pointing out the obvious, often to spite others. In his first appearance, after Captain uses a proverb about patience (Don't go after the Azelle, let the azelle come to you), Foxtrot points out that kryvtors do chase after their prey

  • Nerves of Steel: Foxtrot never loses his cool throughout Lost, and was cool-headed enough to make a temporary truce with Purple after they were taken captive by the Hothians.

    Captain: It's Captain!

  • Hates Being Touched: Truthful to Sobrekt culture, they do not like physical proximity unless they're mates.

  • Disapproving Look: Often gives one to Purple at least once whenever she appears.

  • Interspecies Romance: Implied with Purple at the end of Indokani.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: She's right when she tells Purple that his height has no say in the exams, as Sobrekt value ability and skill, not height like the Irkens. She's also right as she calls out on him for not taking the role of indokani seriously and points out how he's spoiled Cheesecake.
  • Knight of Cerebus: So far she's never been portrayed in any humorous light. She takes the indokani exams seriously and is determined to pass.
    • She briefly shows a hint of humor during the last phase as she opens up with Purple.
  • Motive Rant: During her time with Purple on the final phase, she explains that she wants to become an Indokani because her whole family is deeply rooted to that rank.
  • The Ace: She's the aspirant with the most experience in the exams. She delivered her egg without a scratch, was the first to arrive at the race and successfully completed the third task, though this last one isn't shown.
  • The Rival: to Purple, as she's far more successful than him when it comes to indokani training.
  • Women Are Wiser: She's smarter than Purple and the rest of her aspirants.

Recurring Characters

    Zim 

Everyone's favorite Invader is mostly portrayed as in the show, with the difference that he actually cares about Ilk, the only child of his 'buddy' Tallest Red.

  • Bad Boss: He doesn't care at all about his underlings.
  • Crusty Caretaker: He ended up taking care of Ilk in The Smeet after she changed her ship's coordinates to go to Earth instead of Irk, and actually made a decent smeetsitter even though he inadvertently revealed Ilk's identity to Dib.
  • Cry into Chest: Ilk cries into Zim's after Red slapped her in Lost. Naturally, he's apalled and unsure of what to do next, so he merely taps her shoulder reassuringly.
  • Did Not Think This Through: His modus operandi is 'attack first, make a plan later, make sure it's an enemy or think it through later'.
  • Disney Death: He's eaten alive by Zimkro, but he's shown to have survived it.
  • Eaten Alive: In Indokani, Zimkro seemingly devours him during their first encounter, but it's later revealed that he's been just stuck inside his stomach.
  • Entitled Bastard: He expects everyone to respect and admire him despite his selfish, egomaniac attitude.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He really feels something for Gaz, as he took her along to Blue and Ilk's wedding in Indokani. Additionally, he seems to genuinely care about Ilk.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He was appalled when Tallest Red smacked Ilk, and did not defend his actions when he comforted her.
  • Fatal Flaw: He gets distracted by unimportant treats and surprises. Plus, there's his ego.
  • Glory Hound: He's constantly seeking his Tallest's approval throughout any means necessary, often at the expense of others.
  • I Reject Your Reality: he doesn't realize, or doesn't want to realize, that his Tallest lied to him. In Lost, when a severely injured Red calls him a defective, Zim blames it on Red being delirious.
  • Interspecies Romance: With Gaz, a human.
  • It's All About Me: He's an egomaniac.
  • Jerkass: To everyone except the Tallest and Ilk. Somewhat toned down with Lena and the Sobrekt.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: played with.
  • Lack of Empathy: Subverted. While he doesn't care for anyone but himself, Ilk seemed to be an exception to this rule, probably because she's the only one who openly likes and looks up to him.
  • Never My Fault: Always blames his shortcomings on others.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Indokani, he tries to make breakfast for his Tallest, but inadvertently cooks the egg Purple was supposed to look after for the first stage of the indokani exam.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: in Lost, he comforts Ilk after Red slaps her during an argument and shows a rare moment of sympathy.
  • Only the Chosen May Ride: Played with. While Zim is the only one whom Zimkro will accept as rider, the blood transfusion he gave Ilk has caused Zimkro to believe she is Zim too.
  • One-Man Army: The nickname the Sobrekt call him, Hitorken, literally means this.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: His plans often end up killing or blowing up anything but their intended target. It is because of this that the Sobrekt hold him in high regard.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He considers himself as Irk's finest Invader and the Tallest's favorite, which couldn't be further from the truth as they hate him and he's a defective.

    Dib Membrane 

Dib's human rival and the 'sole Defender of Earth'. So far, his only appearance has been in Lost.

  • Arch-Enemy: To Zim, as per canon.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Throughout Lost, he's often treated like a nuisance and never taken into account. Partly justified, as he's constantly bugging Purple and the others with a camera.
  • Little Stowaway: It's implied he snuck into Zim's cruiser when the latter departed for Hoth.
  • Only Sane Man: How he sees himself with the rest of the group, who are always bickering amongst themselves.
  • Paparazzi: Played with, as he spends the majority of the story recording his experiences in Hoth with a Hothian camera in hopes of using it as proof that aliens are real. Too bad the video is later eaten by a newly-hatched Cheesecake.
  • Sarcasm Mode:
    Dib: Oh, a threat, how brilliant. They'll surely let us out now, especially after you just proved them right. I'd clap my hands, but I'm still tied up.
  • Super-Intelligence: As per canon, Dib's intelligence surpasses that of normal humans, as he's able to figure out how to work with a Sobrekt cruiser without instructions.
  • The Smart Guy: He's the only one who puts survival before any petty feuds and is the one to point out to the Irkens and Kryvtors that they much put their differences aside, even if it just temporally, to have better chances of escaping alive.

    Gaz Membrane 

Dib's younger sister, portrayed as Zim's girlfriend. So far, her only appearance has been in Indokani.

  • Ax-Crazy: If you come between her and her the things she likes, say your prayers.
  • Berserk Button: Do not mess with her food, video games or boyfriend if you want to live.
  • The Dreaded: Not even the Sobrekt dare messing with her.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She really feels something for Zim, given that she lets him touch her and seems tolerant of his shenanigans. While she doesn't seem to care that Zim was eaten in Indokani, she points out that Zim can't be that easily killed. Later on, when Zimkro breaks into the Tallest's base, Gaz silently scares him into releasing both Zim and Ilk. Afterwards, she scolds Zim for worrying her.
  • Jerkass: Just like in the show.

    GIR 

Zim's companion SIR unit built with garbage parts by Tallest Red. So far his only appearance has been in Lost.

  • Attention Deficit... Oh, Shiny!: GIR is incapable of focusing on anything for more than five seconds.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: Just like in the show.
  • Nice Guy: He doesn't have a fiber of malice in all his metallic little body.
  • Only Sane Man: During Lost, due to the magnetic waves from the sun he has brief moments of being lucid during which he makes smart suggestions or plans.

    The Invaders 

Larb, Tenn and the rest of the Invaders are recurring characters in the series, often in a supportive role. The main three portrayed are Invaders Larb, Tenn, and Skoodge.

  • Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Skoodge gets into one in Indokani with Bob against Sendou, in which they lose the Massive.
  • Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Skoodge was partially drunk when he made the above-mentioned wager, though sober enough for it to be considered legal.
  • Awesome Ego: Larb thinks highly of himself because he's the Tallest's favorite and best Invader.
  • Becomingthe Mask: Tenn infiltrated the Kurokani corps to gain more information about it, but becomes genuinely attached to her newfound companions.
  • The Chew Toy: Larb becomes one to Zimkro after sneaking into his habitat.
  • Compressed Vice: Skoodge turns out to be a gambler under the influence of alcohol.
  • Dead Pet Sketch: After Purple accidentally kills Ilk's pet goldfish, Larb, Stink and Tenn go look for a replacement one.
  • Dragon Rider: Tenn after joining the Kurokani corps, though she pilots her mount from the inside rather than riding on its back.
  • Friendly Enemy: They have a more-or-less friendly relationship with the Raptor Squad after the events of Lost, especially Skoodge with Masouri.
  • Find the Cure!: In The Smeet, some Invaders go gather ingredients to cure Ilk from Drilo's disease.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Larb calls the Sobrekt policy of choosing leaders via ritual combat stupid, to which Sark retorts by pointing out Irkens choose their leaders based on height.
  • Insufferable Genius: Larb is the best Invader, as well as Red and Purple's favorite, and he loves to rub it in his fellow Invaders' faces, especially Zim's.
  • Interspecies Friendship: with the Raptor Squad somewhat.
  • The Infiltration: Tenn infiltrates the Kurokani corps, a branch of the Sobrekt military, in Indokani
  • Jerkass: Most of the Invaders towards each other, especially Larb.
  • Lack of Empathy: This is a requirement for the Invader job, as they must not get attached to the native species they are to conquer or it might compromise their mission.
    • However, they do show certain empathy towards Ilk because she's the Tallest's daughter, and seem genuinely fond of her.
  • Nice Guy: Skoodge might be considered the only one who is genuinely nice.
  • Oh, Crap!: Larb in Lost as he realizes he's abandoned the controls of the ship they were flying in.
  • Only Friend: Skoodge could be said to be Zim's only friends amongst the Invaders.
  • Surprise Car Crash: In Lost, they crash on Hoth when Larb gets distracted and away from the steering wheel of their ship.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Skoodge when he is fired and banned from the Massive by Red for almost losing it, leaving Irken space to move in with Zim.
  • The Rival: All Invaders are rivals amongst each other for the Tallest's approval, particularly Larb.
  • Who Is Driving?: Bob asks this to Larb in Lost upon noticing the Invader is not in their spittle runner's steering wheel anymore.

     Bob 

A table drone abused by the Tallest. Thankfully, he counts as one of Ilk's friends despite his short height.

  • Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Gets into one in Indokani, costing the Irken Empire the Massive.
  • Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: He gets too drunk with Skoodge in Indokani and both bet the Massive in a chance game, which they lose.
  • The Chew Toy: To the Tallest, who are always picking on him.
  • Compressed Vice: Gambling, as seen in Indokani, probably stemming from the events of Hobo 13.
  • Height Angst: The reason he's mistreated and looked down upon is because he's too short, even more than Zim himself. In fact, if he weren't so short, he might have been assigned as a soldier.
  • Hidden Depths: In The Smeet, he's the one to deal the final blow to the indokuro sent to the Massive with an electric spear, apparently knocking it out. Earlier, he had distracted the animal with Skoodge so Tenn could take Ilk to safety. This shows that he's somewhat battle-capable even if he works as a table drone.
  • Interspecies Friendship: With the Raptor Squad, the first people to treat him fairly despite his short height.
  • Nice Guy:
  • No Sympathy: The treatment he gets from everyone (except Ilk and Lena). In fact, Tallest Red himself shows disinterest that Bob might hurt his spine if he continues in his usual position for too long.
  • Odd Friendship:
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When he's fired and banned from the Massive by Red for almost losing it, he leaves Irken space to move in with Zim.

    Cheesecake 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_psftg8g92p1sx9asa_540.jpg
Cheesecake

Introduced in Lost, Cheesecake is Purple's pet indokuro, and after Zim, the main source of Red's headaches on the Massive. Don't be fooled by his scary appearence. He's a dog trapped in an monster's body... most of the time.

  • All Animals Are Dogs: his behavior is very much like a dog's.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Cheese by Purple.
  • Ascended to Carnivorism: In Indokani, his first taste of meat awakens his carnivorous instincts.
  • Badass Adorable: He's scary, but cute.
  • Came Back Strong: During the course of Indokani's later chapters, his time with Fury's pack helps him awaken his dormant instincts, learn how to behave like his kind and helps him gain stamina and lose weight.
  • Cuddle Bug: loves cuddling, especially with Purple.
  • Cute Clumsy Creature: Due to being overweight and lazy, Cheesecake is quite clumsy and absent-minded to the point he can't even hunt a small animal.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Lizard.
  • Fluffy the Terrible: Cheesecake doesn't exactly sound intimidating for an indokuro.
  • Hates Being Touched: only lets Purple and a few people touch him, anyone else gets a nasty bite.
    • In a later chapter, he nearly bites Purple's hand when the latter tries to stop him from fighting for a meal with Cougar and Panther.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He goes nuts when he sees medical drones, as they'd put needles in him when he was a hatchling. He also hates when anyone tries to hurt Purple.
  • Imprinting: During his first appearance in Lost, Purple was the first living thing he saw when he hatched.
  • Incompetent Guard Animal: Cheesecake was supposed to be studied as a military asset for the Irken Empire, but Purple's pampering has made him lazy, overweight, distracted and quite dumb.
  • It Can Think: He might not be very intelligent, but he's certainly smart enough for an indokuro.
  • Odd Name Out: He's the only indokuro with a non-threatening name. While other names such as 'Fury', 'Panther', or 'Maugrim' are intimidating and fitting for an indokuro, 'Cheesecake' sounds silly.
  • Original Character.
  • A Pet into the Wild: he's put with Fury's pack in a wild environment so he can learn to behave like his own species and awaken his aggressive instincts, which are vital for the fight against Maugrim.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: As a hatchling he was adorably. Now, not so much.
  • Running on All Fours: He mostly moves like this, as he never learned how to run on his hind legs.
  • Stronger with Age: As an adult, he's nearly the same size as Fury, so it's implied he's as strong as him.
  • Sweet Tooth: He loves doughnuts and snacks, as Purple mostly fed him with this. This diminished after tasting meat for the first time.
  • Toilet Humor: He uses Red's carpet as his evacuating place, which is one of the main reasons Red dislikes him so much.
  • The Nose Knows: Being an indokuro, he can track down people or animals through smell, though in his case he needs some training to polish it.
  • Troublemaking New Pet: due to being untrained and undisciplined, Cheesecake shows typical pet misbehaviors such as aggression, severe separation anxiety, overweight and evacuates anywhere.
  • Undying Loyalty: despite growing more wild, Cheesecake remains completely loyal to Purple.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As a hatchling and before being put with a pack of indokuros, he was openly affectionate and playful. When Purple visits him some time later, he's grown more physically distant, lost his taste for snacks and gained an aggressive touch, shown when he snaps at Purple for trying to interfere with an argument with the other indokuros.

    Zimkro 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_put0rgsk171tpacdvo1_1280.jpg
Zimkro's reference chart

A genetic hybrid created by the Sobrekt as a gift for Zim. He was introduced in Indokani.

  • Artificial Family Member: Since he's made with Zim's DNA, you could say he's his biological son.
  • Berserk Button: Seeing Larb sent him into a frenzy and attacked him.
  • The Big Guy: He was the largest of the clutch, and this enabled him to have the dominant role. As an adult, he has the length of three earth canoes.
  • Blind Obedience:
  • Bizarre Alien Senses: His smell is to advanced that he can smell a person's blood even if it's still inside their bodies. However, if two people share the same blood, he will get confused and eat both.
    • This is portrayed near the end, when he swallows Ilk because of the blood transfusion Zim gave her during the events of Lost, thus giving her his 'scent'.
  • *Drool* Hello: When Larb sneaks into his habitat on the Tallest's orders, Zimkro greets him like this before attack him.
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: He immediately senses danger from Gaz as she silently snaps an eel in half, him a clear message, prompting him to expel Zim and Ilk from his stomach.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: According to some information about his growth, he seems to have been naturally aggressive with his clutch mates, even killing his remaining sibling in a dominance display.
  • Heinz Hybrid: So far, he's got 5 known different DNA sequences.
  • Horse of a Different Color: He becomes Zim's second method of transportation, though he carries his rider inside his stomach and not on his back.
  • Hybrid Monster: He's a genetically-engineered creature.
  • Imprinting: Recordings of Zim's voice and images of him were seemingly used to have Zimkro imprint on him and see him as his parental figure.
  • LEGO Genetics: His genome includes Kurokran, Indokuro, Light Fury (from How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World), Great Leonopteryx (from Avatar), a yet unknown creature, and Zim.
  • Only the Chosen May Ride: He was designed to accept only Zim as his rider.
    • However, since Ilk shares Zim's 'scent' due to the blood transfusion he gave her during Lost, Zimkro believes she too is Zim and will swallow her.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: He's mostly serpentine, but he has dragon traits, such as wings and horns.

    Jack

Looks familiar?

The head Communications officer on the Massive, and unfortunately for him, the main target of Red and Purple's pranks.

Antagonists

    Iraa 

The leader of a doomed race inhabiting Hoth. His only appearance was in Lost.

  • Alien Fair Folk: His species resembles space elves with silver hair, pointy ears and dark gray skin.
  • Broken Tears: During the climax in Lost, he breaks down when he finds his wife, the last female Hothian, is dead.
  • Desperation Attack: His last attempt at securing the Ibris to escape from his doomed homeward.

  • Doomed Hometown: Hoth's atmosphere became contaminated with deadly toxins due to an asteroid and has become uninhabitable. Sunlight cannot get through the thick clouds and everything is covered in contaminated snow.
  • The Leader: He's seen as such by the remaining Hothians, and shows concern for his soldiers' welfare.
  • Shoot the Hostage: threatened to do this to Lena in the climax, but thankfully Lena got ahead of him.
  • Starting a New Life: He intended to use the Ibris to take his people out of Hoth and start anew somewhere else.
  • Unusual Ears: Pointy ears, similar to those of an elf.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: While openly hostile and cruel to the Irkens and Sobrekt, trying to steal the latters' ship and leave them stranded, his intentions were actually noble.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He was willing to hurt Ilk and Dib, both of whom were children, to get away with his plans.

    Sendou 

Renown indokani and Maugrim's owner. Appears in Indokani.

  • Affably Evil: Subverted. He might be a jerk, but not outright evil. In fact, he acts in a surprisingly polite manner towards the Tallest.
  • Benevolent Boss: It's implied he's a stern but just leader.
  • Defeat Means Respect: Starts respecting Purple after Cheesecake defeats Maugrim.
  • Graceful Loser: When Cheesecake beats Maugrim fairly, Sendou lets the Irkens take back the Massive as per agreement, acknowledging that the better indokuro won.

  • The Rival: implied with Captain.

  • Big Guy: He's a large indokuro specimen, even slightly bigger than Fury.
  • Evil Wears Black: Like all indokuros, his scales are midnight black.
  • Free-Range Pets: When not working, he roams around the indokuro reserve freely.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He's got such a short fuse that one only needs to bump into him by accident to send him on a rampage against the unfortunate soul.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Unlike Cheesecake or even Fury, Maugrim is never given any humorous moments. In fact, his reputation is so deadly that even other indokuros clear away from him.
