**Zayn** is a being of an unknown species who was created by Tartar's Primordial Ooze right after he was defeated. He's Veepi Moop's best friend and one of the first members of the Moop Team. He's the only one of said team who doesn't have a direct counterpart, although he does have some semblances and opposites to Arya.

## Backstory

Commander Tartar, ever since he vowed to reinstate a better race than the Inklings and Octolings, feared about his work when he died. So he created an ooze called Primordial Ooze (also known as Supersanitized Ooze, or Supersanitized Ink). He tested it on a lot of subjects, the most useful being Applicant #0000, Terrence, and one day, he got it right. He fabricated a large supply, enough to completely fill one of the sanitization containers. When Razi and the other applicants broke out, Tartar became fearful of what they might tell to the world, so he broke the singular container and activated the NILS Statue.

Tartar didn't succeed, but the Primordial Ooze did. After a day, the Ooze became Zayn. Confused on what to do, he started to wander all over the place. He visited and completed stations in the Deepsea Metro, but he enjoyed the Matchmaster station the most. He lives inside the octopus figure's head, which he filled and decorated with random things he would find in other stations.

One day, after feeding off of one of the blood bags at the first station, he overdosed on them and got unconscious. Veepi noticed Zayn after randomly wandering the Deepsea Metro line. She brought him, along with Chroma, to her apartment, and he woke up a few minutes later, thinking he got kidnapped, and wanting to destroy them.

All three soon created the Moop Team.

## Appearance

Zayn has his hair cut in a similar fashion to the Bed Head hairstyle, but without suction cups, since he isn't an Inkling. His ink color is turquoise green, just like the Primordial Ooze, and he also has various cuts on his face, which he covers with band-aids. He has glowing green eyes, and gray spots under his eyes. He also wears a black T-shirt and black shorts.

## Personality

Zayn is a reckless guy who prefers action to technology. He also seeks emotion and power, going so far into drinking other people's ink to increase his speed and abilities. However, he isn't good at keeping secrets, as he can blurt out whatever comes to his head whenever he gets angry. He's very rude with anyone other than the Moop Team or any of his Sanitized teammates.

## Trivia

* Zayn wields a modified version of the N-Zap, equipped with Toxic Mist and Triple Splashdown.
* When overpowered, Zayn gains superspeed, infinite Splashdowns, and a voice which some claim to be even louder than the burst of ooze from the NILS Statue (which he can also replicate by himself).
	+ His hair also glows brightly, and starts dripping ink on the floor.
	+ He always keeps Chroma around, because her sub weapon is Burst Bombs, which Zayn munches on whenever he needs a boost of energy.
* Zayn shares some resemblances to Arya, as well as complete opposites, such as:
	+ They are both related to an AI. (Tartar and O.R.C.A. respectively)
	+ Their main color is a shade of green. (Turquoise and neon green respectively)
	+ They both have marks on their body. (The gray circles under Zayn's eyes, and the circuit-like pattern on Arya's hand)
	+ Zayn's name starts with the last letter of the alphabet, while Arya's starts with the first.
	+ Zayn is five years old, while Arya is 12,000.
* Zayn is extremely protective of Razi, and it's known he was the one who saved her from the Spire of Order.
* Zayn can partially sanitize people by circling around them and coating them in Primordial Ooze.
	+ He first did this with Meep Team Member Mice, and soon after, Artsy.
* It is unknown how Zayn came to have that name, but Razi thinks that he chose it himself because it's taken from the words "Sanitized" and "insane", two words that are commonly used to describe him.
* In Thread #4 of Season 3, it is revealed that Zayn has a younger sister named Zora.
* Zayn's Meepfest Username is "SaniZayn66.”
