History
Zamor were first designed by the Nynrah Ghosts and used by a Toa of Magnetism named Jovan, around 79,000 years ago.
The Nynrah Ghosts later redesigned the Zamor Spheres and their launchers. Prototypes of these new launchers were stolen from them by Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka.
More recently, Zamor Spheres saw action on the floating island of Voya Nui, first used by the villainous Piraka to enslave nearly the entire Matoran population with the Antidermis virus and then by the Toa Inika to reverse the effects of the virus via Energized Protodermis. Zamor Spheres containing Energized Protodermis were also used by the Voya Nui Resistance Team to free the Toa Nuva who had been enslaved similarly.
Functionality
The skin of each Zamor Sphere is made of a special crystal that can become intangible temporarily when physical contact is made with another object. This feature is used two ways. First, the Sphere is filled with gas, liquid, or energy (depending on what effect is desired). Second, 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.
