Zipponian

Jump to navigationJump to search

The Zipponians are natives of the Planet Zip. The species is identifiable by its lack of noses and two pairs of ears. The majority of Zipponians are green, but black, blue, and pink skin tones are seen to exist. Notable Zipponians include King Nonose and the Robot Inventor.

Zip also appears to be home to a number of species that do not match the typical Zipponian silhouette. They look fun to draw.

Fiction

An evilly sniggering Zipponian was with the King when representatives of Planet Zorg sent him the powerful robot Thugatron. Though awestruck, the Zipponian had to sheepishly tell the King that Thugatron did not come with batteries. Robo-Capers issue 15

A Zipponian with eyes on stalks was impressed by the King's new miniature sabotage robot, Tinytin. A more conventional Zipponian with strabismus crushed Tinytin underfoot, having not seen it. Issue 16

A Zipponian with all black skin dispatched a robot on a speedy mission to Earth to buy a bag of spuds before half day closing, much to the King's dismay. Issue 17

A small alien with a round body, an eye on a stalk, and weedy limbs was with the King when he introduced Aggrobot. Issue 18

The King fought in battle alongside at least three quadrupedal spidery guys. They, along with a broad number of regular Zipponians, returned from a particularly shambolic invasion that would have been helped by Kog the Unstoppable. Unfortunately, a wide-eyed technician and his colleagues couldn't get the robot started. Issue 19

The King once accosted an alien best described as a head with arms and leg to tell them about his new robot in disguise. Unlike the King, the alien was aware that Earth motor cars typically don't have visible limbs or heads, and face-palmed at the robot's design. Issue 20

Another passing alien in the King's sights was a stumpy little fellow with a large nose, an antenna, and a black claw. They followed the King on a promise of seeing the marvellous warrior robot Bolto the Brutal, but the King's technicians – more conventional Zipponians – only had spare parts to work with, resulting in a very flimsy robot. Issue 21

A Zipponian was alerted by the King's declaration that their latest robot had been fitted with the ultimate weapon, and he eagerly guessed that it was a multi-directional ultrasonic elbow disorganizer. He was boggled to find that it was instead a 24 hour video of Crossroads. Issue 22
