-Bay zora are uniquely inborn with minor lightning magic, reminiscent of an electric eel. A few bay zora even resemble eels. In some tales this electricity was used to power musical instruments, and even give energy to ornate mechanic temples.

-Several famous musicians, like the Indigo-Gos, hail from this heritage. Lulu, Mikau, and the other zora encountered in ''Majora's Mask'' are bay zora.
+These zora are particularly renowned for their standing armies, as most of them are trained from a young age in the art of the spear—both crafting and wielding it. Though these zora are peaceful, the widespread capability to defend themselves lends legacy to their monarchies and ancestors. Indeed, these zora tend to place a particularly high importance on royal lineages and those who came before.

 {{RT|Cascade Crafting}} Among your kin, everyone is taught how to craft survival weapons from what washes up on the shore. While at sea or in the wilderness, as a [[phase]] action you can fashion a {{i|dagger}}, {{i|spear}}, or {{i|javelin}}. This crude weapon can't be sold but it can be wielded by others. You are always proficient with a weapon you craft this way. If you become proficient with all martial weapons, you have a +1 bonus to damage rolls you make with these weapons.

 ===Prismatic Zora===
 Prismatic zora, true to their name, can come in a rainbow of colors instead of merely blue. Some prismatic zora have red scales, some blue, some green, some violet, and others a more subdued brown, among many other possibilities, but all prismatic zora have a cream-colored chin, chest, and belly. The color is usually hereditary. These zora tend to be particularly tall, often standing a foot or two above most other zora.

 These amphibious folk can walk on land just as well as any hylian, but are also capable of living in freshwater or saltwater indefinitely. '''Zora''' (“''ZOAR-uh''”) live near or sometimes in water, as a way to press their amphibious advantage.

 A zora's forearms and heads bear fins used for swimming. Most have webbed feet as well, but only a minority have webbed fingers. Unsurprisingly zora make for exceptionally strong swimmers, and some of them can even swim directly up waterfalls.

 {{RT|Size}} Zora can vary greatly in size, but an average adult is about 6 feet tall. Your size is [[Medium]].<br/>
 {{RT|Age}} Zora age at inconsistent rates, but generally they age much slower compared to most humanoids and as a result can live much longer.  A "growth spurt" marks the transition between a zora child and adult; this can occur as early as 20 years of age or possibly as late as 100 years.  The oldest of zora have survived through three centuries with few apparent signs of aging after their growth spurt.<br/>
