| - This Bloody GIR (pictured; left) was later found to be in the intro of "Mortos der Soulstealer." Many believed that this image was the reason behind the cancellation of Invader Zim, though Jhonen Vesquez, the creator of the show, revealed at an InvaderCON panel that Nickelodeon did not find out about the image until after the show's end. Vasquez also stated that when it was discovered, Nickelodeon wasn't particularly bothered by it. Although the idea for Bloody GIR was confirmed by Ressel not to have surface until the time of "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy," some claim to find it in early episodes of the series, such as "Dark Harvest" and "Attack of the Saucer Morons." Some have also claimed that Bloody GIR was meant to debut in the episode "GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff," where GIR was supposed to be covered in blood while floating with the data canister draining humans. However, this is directly contradicted by Ressel's statements on the matter. Certain images of Bloody GIR can only be seen in frame-by-frame viewing. Otherwise it will be a flash, or, in some cases, blend into the movement of the animation. He is never animated; Bloody GIR will always appear as a still image. However, the opacity and size of the Bloody GIR is varied.
