Shnooky and his unit were sent to Earth to gather information. However, when they saw a bunch of human infants in a hospital, they mistakenly believed that the babies were Nar-Gh'ok hostages. Shnooky's team then "liberated" the infants by teleporting them to their ship, but when the unit was discovered by hospital workers they were forced to take the place of the babies they freed and have been stuck on Earth ever since. Shnooky was then catapulted back into his crib by Zim, and never makes an appearance again, apart from a small cameo in Tak: The Hideous New Girl. He was voiced by Phil Lamarr.
