Shermie the Germie is the "son" of the villain M'Lord Orus, and made his first and only appearance in the episode A Fungus Amongus. He is a purple, sapient, metal eating fungus that grew in the ship full of garbage that Orus was banished in, and came to acknowledge Orus as his father. Orus used Shermie to eat a hole through the rocket and had him aid in getting his vengeance on Atomic Betty and the Galactic Guardians. Orus and what was left of Shermie that he collected were placed back on the rocket and sent back into space.
