The Zok Troops are an evil organization led by Zokket that serve as the main antagonists of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The majority of the members are robots that were created by Zokket by repurposing and rebuilding junk. They were given the ability to speak solely to be able to cooperate and help with communications, with them often replacing the letter S with the letter Z when they speak in imitation of electric currents. Zokket cares very little for them, finding it “absurd” to see them speak to the point where he considers them “ephemeral things” that will have no place in the world once Reclusa is reborn. Throughout Concordia, the Zok Troops infect many residents with Glohm which causes them to desire loneliness. They are also in conflict with Bowser's Minions during the game being engaged in aerial warfare with them.

Mario and Luigi fight the Zok Troopers frequently throughout the game. Zok Troopers take critical damage if the Anti-Zokket Specialist Battle Plug is equipped, and defeating 250 total Zok Troopers fulfills the Zokket Buster challenge.

Weeping Troopers, which are Reclusa's minions, contain Zok Troopers within them and use their abilities. When a Weeping Trooper is defeated, the contained Zok Troopers flee the battle.

It is unknown exactly what happened to the remaining lesser Zok Troops at the end of the game, though it is implied that several did survive, as shown with the aforementioned fact that Zok Troopers in the Weeping Troopers flee the battle every time a Weeping Trooper is defeated.
