Zyumorphs were released on May 21, 2017, alongside Sinomorphs. They have 6 different forms that are specific to the 6 different biomes on Dragon Cave, and are the first species to have such diverse forms but still be considered the same species.
These dragons also feature the Breed Specific Action "Summon" (not to be confused with the Summon BSA related to Guardians of Nature), which becomes available when a user has collected one adult of each of the 6 different types of Zyumorphs. The action becomes available on the Action pages of the adults in this set, and can be used only once to summon a Sinomorph dragon, to which the BSA then remains on the page but is unusable. To summon further Sinomorphs, users must collect another set of 6 Zyumorphs for the BSA to appear again.
When sorted by "Breed", these dragons sort as "Zyumorph" and within this, will then sort using the numerical values of the cave's biomes (with Coast being first and Volcano being last). If still using the old Legacy Breed Name Sort, these dragons sort as "Dinozord", between Diamondwing and Dorsal Dragons, on a user's scroll.
Official descriptions[]
Egg[]
This shiny egg seems to radiate power.
Hatchling[]
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very protective of other hatchlings.
Mature hatchling[]
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very protective of other hatchlings.
And look! It has gotten bigger! It must be close to maturing.
Adult[]
Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

Encyclopedia entry[]

Trivia[]
- While each biome variation appears to display a different morphology, all variants behave as Western Dragons by game mechanics such as undead creation.
- All the codes of the first eggs of each kind caught by TJ09 (1this, 2isnt, 3even, 4myyy, 5inal, 6form) spell the phrase "This isn't even my final form".
- These dragons are theorized to be inspired by the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series, though spriters have neither confirmed nor denied this.
- It was later revealed in the thread that Marrionetta created the concept of the Zyumorphs.[1]
Additional information[]
- Regarding Zyumorph's shared descriptions:
“
- I don't know what TJ or the others who worked on these feel, but as the description writer, I can say that I did one joint description for two reasons: it helps to unify a group of differently-bodied sprites as one breed, and it helps create an air of mystery around them. My personal headcanon is that people know these guys exist, but don't really make direct contact with them enough to know specifics about the individual varieties' behavioral habits, and fleshing out distinct personalities for each variety would run contra to that.
