About

Shmeegus is a green, alien, and childlike character created by TikToker @zlorgoverse. The character was first introduced in September 2025 via a series of cutesy videos where Shmeegus and his cast of friends sing about their love for fun and candy. Shmeegus and his friends are depicted as multicoloured circular creatures with two feet, one eye, and one antenna. Another alien character named Zlorgo is implied to play a parental or guardian role to the Shmeegus, taking them to the doctor and tucking them into bed in different videos. Shmeegus first went viral on TikTok after @zlorgoverse posted a song showing the group of aliens singing, "I am Shmeegus and I like fun," to the tune of "Jingle Bell Rock." The artwork may be inspired by Pim from Smiling Friends, while the names may have taken inspiration from Alienposting memes.
