Invader Zim Dog Names

Introduction

Invader Zim is one of Nickelodeon's most raunchy, manic, and wild shows from the early 2000's. Created by then upcoming comic artist Jhonen C. Vasquez, Invader Zim follows the titular alien invader as he tries (and fails in spectacular fashion) to take over the world in the name of the Irkin Empire. Usually in these types of stories, an Earthbound hero rises to the occasion to thwart the evil aliens. And while that character does exist, in the form of ZIm's next door neighbor Dib, more often than not, that character isn't needed; Zim is so insane and incompetent that he often gets in his own way, effectively bringing him back to square one any time he makes the slightest bit of progress.

GIR

GIR is Zim's faithful, psychotic robotic assistant and one of the few characters on the show who doesn't, in some form or another, despise or ridicule Zim. In fact, GIR is perhaps the only character throughout the entire series to unironically Zim in all of his endeavors, making this cantankerous tin can the nearest thing Zim has to a friend. Funnily enough, GIR's child like innocence and whimsical personality makes him particularly susceptible to Zim's abuse, as the little robotic lunatic usually won't stand up for itself whenever Zim berates him or subjects him to a risky experiment. Though Zim may treat GIR harshly most of the time, the Irkin Invader tends to show more kindness and sympathy towards GIR than he does to any other characters on the show, which is really saying something once you consider how cold and callous Zim can be.

The reason GIR takes the spot as the top dog of Invader Zim, however, isn't purely owed to his frantic personality; to remain undetected by the inhabitants of Earth, GIR dons a dog costume that has essentially fooled every character in the show, despite the suit having blatant stitch marks and a giant pair of fake googly eyes at the top. GIR's dog disguise is loved by fans of the show from all around the globe, as there have been many episodes in which GIR has spent a large portion of the episode, if not the entirety of a few episodes in his somehow incredibly effective disguise. One figures that the large zipper on the front of the costume's torso area would be a dead giveaway, but with the suit's uncanny ability to wag the fake tail and occasionally blink both of the googly eyes fastened to the head of the costume, GIR's subterfuge is much more effective than it ought to be.

A few other canine characters have appeared on the show aside from GIR, each with their own varying levels of significance to the overall show or a particular episode. Of particular note is Poop Dawg, who appeared on the episode "Door To Door" as a mascot for a school fundraiser that Zim and Dib had to participate in. Despite only appearing in one episode of the series, Poop Dawg left a big enough mark to lead die hard Invader Zim fans to quote him and his very poorly constructed rhymes whenever they get the opportunity.

Invader Zim Dog Name Considerations

The manic characters of the Invader Zim world are really the heart and soul of the delightfully demented series; everyone in the show is crazy, in their own special way and their hyperactive personalities often mesh together to create a cacophony of screams, explosions, and madness. The Invader Zim TV series was unrelentingly frantic and frenetic; the episodes moved at a breakneck pace and the jokes were dark and humorous. It wasn't a show for everyone, leading the series to get cancelled halfway through its second season, but the fans of Invader Zim are a very vocal, dedicated and delightfully deranged bunch, just like the characters of the show.

The show's main character, the titular Invader Zim, is equally foolhardy as he is devious; he's a manic member of an intergalactic colonizing species who's positively over eager to prove himself as a genuine terror. Unfortunately (for him), Zim's often intricately laid out plans tend to get disrupted by some unforeseen circumstance. Other times, Zim's sheer over zealousness mixed with his rampant idiocy foil his own plans. And finally, the other manic characters who inhabit the Invader Zim world get in the way of Zim's plans for Earth. The show has no shortage of insane characters for you to name you dog after, so look for the one who most appeals to you.
