Personality
Zem is a grotesque, troll-like alien known for his vulgarity and disgusting nature, specifically shown in his penchant for constantly burping and making revolting noises. He is also largely gluttonous, and many of his quotes usually have something to do with eating. He also seems to have a passion for rock music, as he forms horns with his hands and lets go of his tongue while winning. This is more evident in his Punk skin where he plays air guitar.

Trivia

 * Zem did not appear in the GBA version of Crash Nitro Kart although his icon appeared in some screenshots, including on the back of the box.
 * While apparently from Gasmoxia, Zem appears to be a different race then Oxide, resembling Velo in appearance. It is possible Zem or his race originally came from Velo's world.
 * The promotional comic for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled establishes that Zem is already Oxide's henchman since Crash Team Racing, implying that Gasmoxians can come in different shapes or sizes.
