Recurring Characters
- Tak (Olivia d'Abo): A female Irken invader who had an unfortunate encounter with Zim. Which trapped her in a building on Devastis, the Irken military training planet, therefore missing her chance to take the test to become one of the Irken Elite Soldiers (and an Invader). In "Tak: The Hideous New Girl", she comes to Earth, digiused as a human girl, and attempts to take over Earth, but she is thwarted by Zim, GIR, Dib, and Gaz, who reluctantly work together to defeat.
- MiMi: Tak's SIR unit, built for in the planet Dirt. Her disguise is also holographic, to be generated as a black cat. Like GIR, she is easily distinguishable from other SIR units. She has no dialogue in the show and is taken over with GIR's personality and is dismembered in the process. She thinks of GIR as arrogant.
- Piggy: A live piggy that GIR has been seen having tea and watching movies with and seems to have a fascination with piggies, because he also has a large collection of rubber ones, which are thrown into a time machine by Zim to destroy Dib.
- Computer (Jhonen Vasquez): Zim's computer is normally seen talking with Zim. He is scattered around the house and base so Zim can talk to him whenever he needs to. The computer also seems to display defects, similar to GIR, in both that he lacks information on Earth and will occasionally change his voice tone to a much harsher version at usually completely unnecessary times and situations. In the episode "Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain" Computer's brain is replaced with GIR's.
- Minimoose (Jhonen Vasquez): A floating purple shape with stubby legs and antlers, Minimoose is introduced as Zim's other sidekick. However not much of the character's history was explained before the series was cancelled.
- Invader Skoodge (Ted Raimi): An failed and competent Irken Invader who was assigned to planet Blorch, home of the slaughtering rat people, due to his shortness. He was the first Invader to successfully conquer a planet in Operation Impending Doom II, but is prejudiced against by the Almighty Tallest, who proceed to launch him into the planet as the first shot of the destruction. Somehow, he survived. When Zim says "But I thought the Tallest killed you" on Hobo 13, Skoodge replies "Yeah...But I'm okay now." Skoodge is very loyal to The Almighty Tallest who hate him. He was planned to be included in future episodes of the show, but it was canceled with the ones unfinished.
- Bloaty (Rosearik Rikki Simmons): The owner and/or mascot of the Chuck E. Cheese-like restaurant, Bloaty's Pizza Hog. He is mostly seen in commercials. He was only seen out of his pig costume once, in the episode "Bloaty's Pizza Hog," and apparently has an eating disorder. He is an elderly, morbidly obese man, to the point of being fatter out of costume than in it.

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
