Zappies (as named by Nickel) are a type of power/weapon that, so far, has only been used by Four and X where a large white energy beam is fired from the user's hands. Four usually uses it on anyone who attacks him, criticizes him, or does anything to make him upset. The zappies have been used in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", "Four Goes Too Far", "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", "Outbreak At Stake" and "Oneirophobe's Nightmare".
When he uses it on someone, the target slowly loses health, similar to how health is lost in a video game.

Trivia[]

- Bottle referenced the zappies in "Today's Very Special Episode" by saying, "Four's gonna fry us!".
- So far, most zappies were caused by forks or Four being criticized.
- When Four uses the zappies, he starts shaking his hand and grunting. He occasionally quietly says, "It's time."
- Four and X are the only characters confirmed to have the ability to use the zappies.
- In “Chapter Complete” Four is seen using the Zappies to create The BFDI.
- X is confirmed to have learned how to use his zappies in "BFDI: Claustrophobe's Nightmare". However, this is non-canon.
