Okay, you force my hand, people! Gotta keep this thread alive somehow...anyway, here's what I wrote about hybrids in the Zim universe on Gaia...

Irkens and humans could not reproduce sexually, for Irkens lack the necessary organs. Using certain technologies, however, an Irken might be able to "engineer" a sperm cell to fertilise an egg, thus creating the embryo, which would be placed in a modified smeeting chamber. The chances of a successful embryo, however, are between extremely slim and nonexistent. This is because the Irken genome most likely does not have the necessary set of chromosomes.

However, should an Irken-human hybrid exist, there would be benefits and drawbacks. Hybrids would possess superior strength, constitution and intelligence as compared to normal humans, plus not need the vital Pak that a pureblood Irken needs to survive. There would most likely be redundant organs, as the squeedlyspooch is supposedly a combined supraorgan that does everything the heart and brain cannot.

The drawbacks are water tolerance and food allergies. Irkens must have some form of water resistance to survive on Earth without special environment suits. The planet's atmosphere contains a significant amount of water vapour and moisture; if Zim could not handle water, he would be incapable of setting foot on Earth without instantly sizzling. A hybrid would have increased water tolerance, perhaps so that swimming would cause pain like a mild sunburn. Food allergies would be present, but not so terrible as to cause the hybrid to choke or burn on contact.

In short, an Irken-human hybrid would be superior to either race alone, but would be nearly impossible to produce under most conditions, even with the benefit if the Irkens' mastery of their own genetics to the fine art of creating a smeet to order. Perhaps if they could master the humans' genome, a hybrid could be researched and produced. The perfect Invader, indeed!

So shall it be said, so shall a million more ZADR fics be written.

Bio, you truly are my tallest for this. I wonder how I missed this thread in the first place? Just out of curiousity is it wrong that i find Gaz kinda hot?

No, not really. Because she'll never return another person's affection. She's an angry little girl who hates mankind for obstructing her path to what she sees as the true meanings of life: Bloaty's Pizza Hog and Vampire Piggy Hunter.

Though, should you be curious, official art of her at the age of 16 does exist, drawn by one of the chief animators.

Why do you think I think she's hot? And where can I find this picture that im already corupting in my mind? Man im creepy.
