Zamor Spheres are special hollow spheres of crystal that can be fired from Zamor Launchers.
History
Zamor were first designed by the Nynrah Ghosts and used by Toa Jovan around 79,000 years ago.[citation needed: OGD,etc?]
The Nynrah Ghosts later redesigned the Zamor Spheres and their launchers.[citation needed: OGD,etc?] Prototypes of these new launchers were stolen from them by the Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka.[2]
Zamor Spheres containing Teridax's Antidermis were used by the Piraka to enslave nearly the entire Matoran population of Voya Nui.[3] The Toa Inika and Voya Nui Resistance Team used Zamor Spheres filled with Energized Protodermis to reverse the effects of the virus on the Matoran [4] and the Toa Nuva.[5]
Hakann imbued a Zamor Sphere with Vezok's power of absorption and used it to steal Brutaka's power for himself and Thok. Hewkii used a special Zamor Sphere made by Vezok to reverse this effect.[4]
Axonn imbued a Zamor Sphere with his power over stasis fields, allowing the Toa Inika to freeze Vezon and Kardas.[5]
Functionality
The skin of each Zamor Sphere is made of a special crystal that can temporarily become intangible when physical contact is made with another object. The sphere is filled with gas, liquid, or energy, depending on what effect is desired. When the Zamor hits a target, the sphere's solid surface gives way and releases its contents into its target, leaving whatever is in the sphere to do its work on the target. Zamor Spheres are entirely transparent, so their color is a reflection of the contents.[3]
