Zokket[1] is a major antagonist in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. As the leader of the Extension Corps and his army as a whole, Zokket's goal is the "downfall of Concordia" and he wishes to achieve it by spreading Glohm throughout the continent.[1][2] He wears a mask, a top hat that covers red and green cables, and a dark red cloak with a wire cutter-like object in the front. His cloak follows a design trend previously used by Cackletta, both the younger and elder Princess Shroobs, Dark Fawful, and Antasma. The name "Zokket" appears to be a voicing of "socket".
