Taken from the pamphlet, "The Zone and You: Knowledge is Power!"
Zone as a Species
The Zone is an unknown form of life, thought to be energy based, that reside in the layer of space below ours. Highly aggressive, they display a cold hatred for humanity, and even among other Zone there is no evidence of long-lasting relationships or mutual cooperation. Mating habits are unknown as most seem to be asexual although many theories have been put forth to try to explain this, including binary fission; the reproductive system of bacteria and other protozoa, sporogenesis; reproductivity through spores, or other more esoteric means.
Although the Zone are thought to exist in an energized state in Belowspace, they rarely take physical form there. The physical appearance of the Zone can vary wildly, as all Zone choose an item placed in Hammerspace to model their body after. They generally tend to pick objects not already chosen by another Zone, but it is not unheard of to encounter a Zone with the exact appearance of another, even when the original is known to have been destroyed. Why some Zone mimic the appearance of others like this is unknown.
Zone tend to have psuedo-natural powers, that is abilities not found in nature but developed though biological means. Abilities manifested follow the Zone's physical appearance e.g. a Spider Zone could have poison or webs; even flaming webs, but would not manifest things such as firearms or radioactivity, unless those followed the lines of the previous example. Physically the Zone are unusually powerful, being able to lift several tons with ease and being highly capable at hand-to-hand combat. There is even evidence of the Zone having their own highly developed martial arts systems, although this has not been confirmed as of yet.
