GIR is the insane, hyperactive robotic sidekick of Zim. He's the closest thing the incompetent Irken has to a friend, other than Mini Moose of course. He is a broken SIR unit created by the Irken Empire in the Invader Zim Universe.

Appearance[]

GIR is a small robot, with levitating body legs and blue orbs and a silver body. He has a levitating cylindrical head and an antenna on top of it. His eyes, chest, and are a light blue color.

Personality[]

GIR is happy-go-lucky, enthusiastic, energetic, excitable, and extremely hyperactive. GIR will eat just about anything, regardless of whether it is edible or not. Most of the time he spouts nonsense, but does have a few, short moments of clarity. Every so often, GIR will display brief instances of complete functionality. Usually triggered by Zim giving an order, this “Duty Mode” is made manifest by the cyan parts of GIR's body and eyes flashing red, his voice changing from high-pitched to harsh, deep and rough, and GIR himself snapping to attention, alert and utterly obedient.

Abilities[]

  • Built-In GPS- GIR has an advanced GPS system in his head that allows him to locate any mapped location.
  • X-Ray Vision- GIR has the ability to see through solid objects.
  • Laser Eyes- GIR can shoot energy beams out of his eyes, which can easily tear through metal.
  • Jet Feet- GIR's feet have installed rockets which can propel him though the air.
  • Snack Storage- GIR has shown to be able to hold an endless supply of tasty snack foods in his head.

Weaknesses[]

  • Personality- Due to GIR being overly energetic and nice, he rarely uses his combative abilities unless he enters Duty Mode.

History[]

Creation[]

GIR was created as a SIR Unit by the Irken Empire. They are Standard-issue Information Retrieval units, designed to assist Irken Invaders on gather valuable knowledge during their missions assigned to them by the Almighty Tallest. They also function as thermoses. The Irken Scientist who developed the original SIR programming is Hok. There is a digital brain scan of Hok in every SIR Unit as error-correcting software.

During the Great Assigning for Operation Impending Doom II, the Almighty Tallest constructed GIR out of broken SIR parts to give to Zim, as he is not a real Invader and they are just trying to get rid of him by sending him to Earth. The junk Tallest Purple put into GIR's head messed up his operating system, causing it to always feel pain.

Once GIR comes online he reports for duty to his master. Zim asks what the "G" stands for, GIR doesn't have an answer and starts beating his head. Zim asks the tallest if he's supposed to be stupid. Tallest Purple tells him he isn't stupid, he's "advanced". Zim then takes GIR in his Voot Runner to Earth. The trip takes six months. When they finally arrived Zim set up his base of operations and chooses disguises for himself and GIR. The robot is gifted a green dog suit by the disguise machine and wears it when outside of the base.
