Zilch is a grumpy wizard who hates numbers. He is the antagonist of the double-length episode Journey To Numberland and is voiced by Chris Phillips.
Physical Appearance[]
He is a green elf that wears a dark blue cap, a green shirt with a black belt with a green spiral on it and green pointy shoes. His outfit is covered in zigzags, except for his pants which is striped. He has a magic staff, which he uses to stop Team Umizoomi from freeing the King of Numbers.
Bio[]
Zilch is a resident of Numberland. He lives by himself in the Crooked Tower. He has a silly laugh that lets the King of Numbers know when he is close by.
Zilch hated and disliked numbers very much. His dislike for numbers was all because he didn't know how to count. But in the end, he starts to appreciate numbers because Geo, Milli and Bot taught him how to count.
History[]
Zilch hates numbers more than anything, so he locked up the King of Numbers in the Crooked Tower, and threw the 3 keys to open the door far away across all of Numberland.. But in the end, when the king of numbers was set free; he actually reveals that he doesn't like numbers because he doesn't know how to count. Eventually, the trio teach him to count and he likes them.
Powers and Abilities[]
Zilch uses a magical staff. He knows many spells which he performs by saying a rhyming chant and waving his wand. The first part of the chant sometimes has nonsense words, and the last part of the chant describes what he wants the spell to do. He can also teleport, likely from using the wand.
After Zilch used the giant spell, his staff broke into dust and he could no longer do any magic.
