Zamor Sphere

Zamor Spheres were essentially hollow balls: gas, liquid, or energy could be put into them, depending on what effect was desired. The spheres were then fired by Zamor Launchers at the target, where the solid surface temporarily became intangible and the substances inside them passed through to the target.

The earliest known Zamor Launcher was used by Toa Jovan, roughly 79,000 years ago.

Modern Zamor Launchers were first invented by the Nynrah Ghosts on Nynrah some 3,000 years ago, but some prototypes were stolen by Nidhiki and Krekka for the Dark Hunters (at some time before Nidhiki was mutated into his insectoid form). Their mission also included destroying the production machinery, to delay the Matoran from making more launchers quickly.

A group of Ex-Dark Hunters, calling themselves "Piraka", stole their Zamor Launchers from Xia. The leader of the Piraka, Zaktan, built a vat to collect a virus called Antidermis that would fill their Zamor Spheres with Teridax's essence. Some of Voya Nui's Matoran opposed the Piraka, and they managed to steal one of the Zamor Launchers. After studying it, the group's inventor, Velika, built a set of launchers of his own and gave them to the Matorans' new allies, the Toa Inika. The Inika's launchers were upgraded from the Piraka's, as they could hold up to four spheres instead of just one.

Set Info
A box of Zamor Spheres was available in 2006 and contained about 10 Zamor Spheres, but no launcher was included. There were four green Zamor spheres included with each of the Piraka sets, and four Zamor Spheres included with each Toa Inika set. They were also used as ammunition in the Midak Skyblasters and Air Launchers.
