The Zipp is a a strange creature from Dimension X in the 1987-1996 animated TV series, appearing in the episode The Big Zipp Attack. It is part of a species known as the Zipps, and becomes an issue for Shredder and Krang when its egg crashes on the asteroid where the Technodrome is stranded.
After hatching, it followed them to the Technodrome and began eating the metallic war machine. Shredder disposed of the creature by throwing it through a portal to Earth, where it became trapped in a wooden barrel until freed by Michelangelo. While the Turtles were initially charmed by it, the Zipp immediately began causing chaos by eating metal objects in their lair.
Upon eating objects with copper, the Zipp split into hundreds of different Zipps, but was later reunited into one large creature by being fed chocolate. It also ate a rigidium spire that shrank it back to its original size. Upon reentering the portal, it began another rampage through the Technodrome.[1]
