The Mighty Irken Race Trivia Quiz

Answer: Zim

Zim is the main character of the show, hence why his name is in the title! Zim has caused a few blackouts, the death of two previous leaders, and the destruction of about half of his home planet. Under the guise of a new mission, his leaders banished him to the outer reaches of the galaxy. They believed that he'd die. Instead, Zim found Earth. I refuse to let him destroy it!

Answer: Tallest

The Irken leaders are chosen by height. Height is therefore something very important in the Irken species. Small Irkens like Zim, Scoodge, and Table Headed Service Drone Bob are out of luck on the short end of the spectrum. The current Tallest are Red and Purple; two Irkens that are the same height. Before them was Tallest Spork, and before him was Tallest Miyuki. Zim killed both Miyuki and Spork, though by accident.

The idea of ruling by height seems kind of dumb to me.

Answer: Squeedly spooch

The name of this organ is revealed when Zim was hit by a dodge ball in "dark Harvest". I remarked that humans don't have squeedly spooches, but my sister Gaz said that she has one...for some reason. I used my X-Scope to see into Zim's body to see the long organ. It vaguely resembled an intestine, if I recall correctly.

Answer: Tak

Zee and Tenn are already Invaders, and Miyuki is a deceased Tallest. Tak was stuck in her room when Zim destroyed the power on Devastus while trying to get a snack from a vending machine it was stuck in. She was stuck when the test was continuing on the other side of the planet, which had power.

The Control Brain she pleaded with sent her to Dirt. She eventually escaped and went to Earth to ruin Zim's life and take his mission. Unfortunately, I teamed up with Zim to stop her. I could have done it on my own, you know...

Answer: SIR

Each Irken Invader is given a "Standard Information Retrieval" unit, or SIR. Gir is Zim's malfunctioning SIR unit. Tak has her own named Mimi, which she seems to have built on her own. I remember reading about them in Zim's computers. They can apparently be used as thermoses.

Answer: The Resisty

The Resisty is a resistance force against the Irken Armada, led by a Vortian named Lard Nar. Many different species make up The Resisty. Not having a name when they were going against the Armada at first, Lard Nar turned to his crew for help. A cone-shaped alien named Shloonktapooxis suggested "The Pirate Monkeys", saying it was an awesome name. Lard Nar shot him down and went with the idea of an alien named Spleenk; "The Resisty".

When Tallest Purple called it a stupid name, Lard Nar yelled that he knew it was stupid and questioned why he listened to Spleenk. Spleenk responded that even he didn't know. I'm wondering, too...

Answer: Scoodge

Larb was sent to Vort, Bob is a table headed service drone, and Zim was unknowingly banished to another planet. Scoodge was sent to conquer Blorch because he was so short. Though he was upset about it, he was the first Invader to complete their mission.

The Tallest launched him into the planet and named another soldier Scoodge to take the credit. Scoodge went to Hobo 13 to get back in the Tallest's good graces, but he ended up almost being killed by Zim. He and Zim have been what could be classified as 'friends' since they were babies.

In an unaired episode, Scoodge moved into Zim's basement to help him with his mission. Kind of pathetic. Zim treats him like dirt.

Answer: Smeet

It was shown in the episode "Parent Teacher Night" that the robotic arm that gave Zim life called him an "Irken child". Zim, however, refers to Irken babies simply as "babies" when insulting my by saying "Irken babies play with more advanced toys!" The term 'smeet' is the proper term, however.

Answer: Operation Impending Doom II

Tallest Red revealed the name of the Operation in the first episode, "The Nightmare Begins". He told the Irken soldiers that they ones standing behind the tallest were chosen to help in "Operation Impending Doom II". The Operation is called "II", because it is a second phase.

It would still be the first phase, but Zim didn't realize he was still on his own planet. He destroyed a lot of it and killed many Irkens. The Operation was put on hold for some time, but it is back on now. Leave it to Zim to ruin his own species' plans.

Answer: The Massive

Thanks, I was worried there for a second! The Massive is the Tallest's command ship, as well as the main flagship of the Irken armada. It is, as the name suggests, rather large in size. It can smash through planets on its own, as shown in "Backseat Drivers From beyond the Stars".

In the same episode, it appears as though the workers onboard aren't fed. When the Tallest drop their donuts in surprise, the workers dive onto the snacks quickly.

Answer: Foodcourtia

Dirt is a janitorial planet, Devastus is the Irken training planet, and Conventia is the Convention Hall planet. Zim was banished to Foodcourtia some time before the show began, as punishment for destroying half of Irk. He escaped and was banished to Earth, unbeknownst to him that it was banishment, and discovered by his former boss.

The boss, Sizz Lorr took Zim back to the planet to work at the restaurant Shloogor's. Zim escaped again to Earth. The Empire often takes over planets and then renames them based on what the planet becomes.

In this case, Foodcourtia is a large food court planet.

Answer: Bugs

Irkens are a green, bug-like species. They have black antennae on their heads, as well as large, bug-like eyes. In their PAKs, they have mechanical legs. When Zim has them deployed and holds himself in a certain position, he looks like a spider. Zim himself is like a cockroach. No matter how many times you hurt him or shove him away, he always comes back perfectly fine.

Answer: Storing memories, life support, amongst other things

Irken PAKs have a lot of different uses. When I stole it in "Ten Minutes Til Doom", it latched onto me. It almost turned me into Zim, because it holds an Irken's memories and personality to transfer into a host body. Zim was getting weaker and weaker throughout this episode. That's because the PAK is a life support system. Ten minutes without it, and an Irken will die.

It also has mechanical legs, a communication device to the Irken's robot, and various other tools. I don't want to be on the wrong end of that thing.

Answer: Junk food

Irkens are actually allergic to meat, so eating it is probably not a good idea. The most I've ever seen an Irken eat is snacks. I know the Tallest are fond of donuts, slushies, nachos, popcorn, and a few other things. Even GIR likes snacks, like Chocolate Bubble Gum and Suck Monkies. Zim has been seen eating what looks like "Lik-M-Aid", otherwise known as "FunDip", before. For all the snacks they consume, it's a wonder Irkens are so thin. Good metabolisms, I guess.

Answer: Planet Jackers

The Planet Jackers species lives near a dying sun. To keep it burning, they take other planets and throw them into it as firewood. They first encase the planet in a hollow shell that has a projection of that planet's sky. In order to prevent any soldiers from being killed, the Irkens have formed a treaty with the Planet Jackers.

Although, in the unnamed final, unaired, two-part episode, one of the Tallest says that because the Planet Jacks joined the Resisty, the 'fake treaty' with them is off. Any planets that are unmarked by the Irkens are fair game to the Planet Jackers.
