Physiology

Zamite are small, shark-like creatures with relatively large mouths that house many rows of sharp teeth. They have been observed in various stages of development. Some have fully developed legs, while others slide on their bellies.

During battle, Zamite can grow larger when it ingests bodily fluids. These fluids also allow Zamites to grow legs if they are ingested by the individuals without limbs.

Behavior

Zamite behave similar to Giggi in the manner of aggressively attacking any possible food source and draining them of their vital fluids.

Habitat

Zamite inhabit frigid locales such as the Frozen Seaway and the Frost Islands.

General Notes

• Zamite are capable of shooting a globular substance out of their mouths that inflicts Iceblight. This seems to be similar to the substance Zamtrios use in order to cover their upper bodies in ice.
• Similar to Giggi, Zamite will latch onto hunters and suck on their body fluids to develop legs and grow bigger.
