Zamor Spheres, also known as Zamors,[2] are special hollow spheres of crystal that can be fired from Zamor Launchers.
History
The first known use of Zamor Spheres were by Toa Jovan and his Toa Team around 80,000 years ago,[3][4] with launchers designed by the Nynrah Ghosts.[5]
The Nynrah Ghosts later redesigned their launchers.[5] Prototypes of these new launchers were stolen by the Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka.[6]
Zamor Spheres containing Teridax's Antidermis were used by the Piraka to enslave nearly the entire Matoran population of Voya Nui.[7] The Toa Inika and Matoran Resistance used Zamor Spheres filled with Energized Protodermis to reverse the effects of the virus on the Matoran [8] and the Toa Nuva.[9]
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.[8]
Axonn imbued a Zamor Sphere with his power over stasis fields, allowing the Toa Inika to freeze Vezon and Kardas.[9]
Functionality
Zamor Spheres, while normally solid, can become momentarily intangible. This feature is used to fill the sphere with gas, liquid, or energy, and is activated again when the sphere is fired and strikes its target, releasing its contents onto or into them. Zamor Spheres are entirely transparent, so their color is a reflection of the contents.[7]

Set Information
Zamor Sphere Set | |||||
|
The Piraka and Toa Inika canister sets of 2006 were each packaged with 4 Zamor Spheres, yellow-green for the Piraka, and one of three different colors (yellow-red, sea green, or blue) for the Toa Inika. These each consisted of a mix of two colors, and could vary in hue and transparency. Additional packs of Zamor Spheres were sold separately as 8719 Zamor Spheres. These contained 10 gold, gunmetal (described as "black") and silver Zamor Spheres in a random three-three-four color combination.
Zamor Spheres also appeared in various playsets in 2006. Yellow-green spheres were used by the Piraka, while blue spheres were used by the Toa. 8892 Piraka Outpost had four blue Zamor, 8893 Lava Chamber Gate had four green and six blue Zamor, 8894 Piraka Stronghold had five green and two blue Zamor, and 8624 Race for the Mask of Life had four green and two blue Zamor. The scale of the Zamor Spheres as depicted in the playsets is considered non-canonical.[21]
