## References

* The move "Minimoose" utilizes the character of the same name from the Season 2 episode "The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever" and the movie "Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus", who was designed by Zim to be the ultimate weapon (though he doesn't know how to use it).
* The move "GIR" utilizes the character of the same name that acts as Zim's energetic sidekick throughout the Invader ZIM series. Him attacking opponents by exploding could reference the Season 1 episode "Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom", in which Zim orders him to self-destruct and happily obliges.
* Both of Zim's up strongs utilize a Shock Spear, a weapon used by another Irken in "Megadoomer".
* His victory animation, as well as his render, reference a piece of official artwork.
* His costume references the human disguise that he wears in nearly every episode of Invader ZIM.
	+ GIR's eyes also turn red in this costume, referencing his more competent "Duty Mode".
