Zed

Zed is a female Anubian Baskurr currently owned by Kevin Levin, and formerly by Khyber.

## Background

Zed was found by Khyber and chosen as a "worthy tool" for his hunting career. Ever since, she has been trained and responded to her master's commands.

With every test subject failing to remain stable and in control of their transformations, Zed became the perfect host for the Nemetrix due to her savage nature.

## Personality

Zed, as Khyber's pet, was very savage and aggressive. She was also a lot more feral, and was very loyal to Khyber prior to the events that led to Khyber taking the Nemetrix away.

When Kevin saved her, Zed became loyal to him and soon became his pet, where he discovered her true

gender much to Gwen's surprise. After being taken in by Kevin and, by extension, Gwen, Zed seemed to have calmed down and is a lot more tame than before.

Zed is able to understand others and their intentions better than most humans can.

Zed doesn't like Argit.[MW 1] However, she did let him ride on her back in Weapon XI: Part 2.

## Appearance

Zed is a dark blue creature that appears to be a cross between a dog and a dinosaur. She has red eyes, blue-gray spike-like hair running down from her collar to the tip of her tail, and black lines on her neck and legs.

Zed used to wear a red spiked collar that had the Nemetrix on it, but now she wears a light blue collar with a gold bone-shaped dog tag.

## Trivia

* The idea of Kevin adopting Zed was requested by Greg Cipes due to his love of animals. Early on, there were some thoughts of an Earth dog for Kevin, which Derrick J. Wyatt started designing, before they decided to give him Zed.[DJW 1][DJW 2]
* During her appearances in the first two seasons, Zed went unnamed because Khyber saw her only as a tool to hunt, and didn't care about her enough to name her.[DJW 3]
* Zed's name was first revealed in the credits for The Frogs of War: Part 2, despite not appearing in that episode.
* Khyber almost never fed Zed, preferring to let her hunt for her own food.[3]
* Zed's gender was first revealed by Kevin in Showdown: Part 2, something that both Azmuth and Khyber were unaware of.[1][4]
* During the events of The End of an Era, Zed was at home with a grounded Devlin Levin.[DJW 4]
* The reason why Zed is listed in the credits for The Frogs of War: Part 2 is because she was supposed to physically appear in the episode but her part was cut for time.[DJW 5]
* A scene with Ship and Zed interacting was discussed, but it did not come to pass.[MW 2]
* Speaking of Ship, Zed shares a few similarities with him, such as both of them being dog-like aliens and able to detect if something is wrong with a person.[5][6]
* "Zed" happens to share the same name of the Tetramand deity.[7]
* Coincidentally, Kevin previously had an alien pet in the Null Void that he called a dog.[DM 1] He took the pet to a vet named 'P'str'ph'.
