	+ He was referenced in the six Goo Jit Zu series (*Dino Power*, *Dino X-Ray,* *Galaxy Blast, Goo Shifters, Glow Shifters, and Deep Goo Sea*) meaning that he has been around for the thee fifths of the franchise.
* Tyro, Verapz, Orbitox, and Warsnap are the only characters to have less than 4 fingers on each hand.
	+ Tyro, Verapz, and War Snap have 3 fingers on each hand. Orbitox has no fingers because his arms are tentacles.
* When Blazagon said "There's something about this in the Supagoo Book," Tyro begged for it not to be a rap. This is a callback to Episode 7, where Blazagon rapped.
