Zamor Launcher

The Zamor Launcher is a weapon that fires Zamor spheres, small projectiles whose effect depends on the substance loaded into them.

The Piraka turned the launchers to enslavement. Zaktan filled a Zamor sphere with antidermis and tested Avak's launcher on a Ta-Matoran named Dezalk, which left him completely loyal to the Piraka. Equipped with launchers and spheres, the Piraka used an assembly to bring the island's Matoran under their control. To extend their reach, several Lava Crawlers were modified into Caravan Crawlers, each carrying a Zamor Launcher, though their shells had to be partly cut away to mount the weapons.

The resistance turned the same weapons against their makers. The Matoran loaded their launchers with energized protodermis to free enslaved Matoran, and later used them to liberate the Toa NuvaToa NuvaThe form the Toa Mata took after stepping into the Energized Protodermis beneath the Bahrag, with new masks, new tools, and the elemental scale to fight Karda Nui., who had been drained of their elemental powers and enslaved by antidermis.
