Meekrob is the planet to which Invader Tenn was assigned. The dominant species native to the planet are highly intelligent beings of pure energy, which would make it difficult for Tenn and her SIR Unit to disguise themselves.
The Meekrob are assumed to be sworn enemies of the Irken Empire. In the episode "Megadoomer", Tenn was supposed to receive a Megadoomer Combat Stealth Mech as a gift from her leaders, but - thanks to a rebellious worker on the Conveyor Belt Planet switching the labels - instead received a package of deadly malfunctioning SIR Units, which were meant for Zim. As a result, Zim ended up receiving the Megadoomer, while Tenn got the psychotic robots, which promptly began to destroy her base and ruin her cover.
The Meekrob made their first and only physical appearance in "Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom". However, these were not real Meekrob, but illusions created by Zim. While this illusion may be accurate to their true appearance, Zim's track record with factual accuracy provides an element of doubt.
Facts of Doom[]
- The name Meekrob sounds similar to "Mi krop", a Thai fried noodle dish.
- It is unknown what the planet Meekrob looks like from space.
- From what was briefly seen of the planet, the terrain appears to be rocky and barren, although it’s plausible that Tenn picked a location far away from the population to ensure her cover wouldn’t be blown.
- The planet’s sky seems to be a sort of pinkish grey.
- The fact that Meekrob has clouds implies it has an atmosphere, as Tenn is able to breathe without issue.
- The planet is confirmed to have flora on it, as one of the malfunctioning SIR Units was seen holding a flower of some sort during Tenn’s first transmission to the Tallest.
