"The sphere turned immaterial once more and passed into the Matoran's body before releasing the contents."

Skabelon:Object 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.Skabelon:CN
The Nynrah Ghosts later redesigned the Zamor Spheres and their launchers.[1] Prototypes of these new launchers were stolen 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[]
Hewkii firing a Zamor Sphere
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.[3]
