Characters
Tamer
In the fiction of the show Tamers are beings with special powers; their main characteristic is The Dom, an energy that is passed from parent to child. With the passing of the generations, powers and knowledge are passed on which lead to real dynasties of Monster Tamers.
The five Dom powers are:
- Sight Dom - the ability to see monsters and ghosts invisible to ordinary people.[7][8]
- Voice Dom - the ability of Tamers to force monsters and phantoms to do what they say.[8][9]
- Gesture Dom - the power to control monsters by gesture, and to capture them in a DomBox.[8][10]
- Enviro Dom - the ability to create an environment to be able to survive in an unfamiliar environment, and which also functions as a force field.[8][11]
- Energy Dom - the ability to release an energy ray that affects monsters, dark phantoms, and even ordinary things, but not witches.[8][12]
Dom Items
The Dom Items are valuable items that are given by the Tutors to experienced Tamers.
- Universal DomBox - A gun-like container used by Tamers, it can capture any monster and multiple ones. Upon the monster's capture, the DomBox specifies the name, species, danger level, and status of the monster.[13] However, this DomBox can only contain a monster for two hours, then it must be transferred to its specific DomBox or else the monster will escape.[14] While the Universal DomBox can capture Dark Phantoms it will dissolve them rather than trapping them, since they are untrappable.[15] It also have the ability to analyze any liquid substance that is invisible to the naked eye.[16][17][18]
- Zick's Sunglasses - This item is a gift from Elena to Zick. At first, it was used to help cover Zick's eyes when they turn red, but it helps him intensify his power for the Energy Dom.[13]
- Dom Glove - This item will improve the power levels of a Tamer by capturing every four monsters by giving the Gems of Power. The Red Gem is the basic first level, while Yellow Gem is at second level. At the third level, earning the Green Gem has the ability disintegrate Dark Phantoms, and while the fourth level is the Blue Gem. It is unknown how to earn the White Gem, the fifth and final level, although, since Zick can earn a new gem by collecting 4 monsters, in theory Zick has to capture 20 monsters to earn the White gem.
- Regular DomBox - special boxes used to hold a captured monster. There are different types of DomBoxes for each monster.[12]
- Tele-skates - These items will be earned along with the Green Gem.[16] They have the ability to allow the carrier to teleport anywhere to its destination of their choosing.[19] It can also be upgraded to teleport along with someone else.[20]
- Dom Staff - This Dom weapon amplifies the Tamer's Energy Dom by firing a strong ray beam through the staff .[21]
- Hypno-Disk - This device is used to erase and alter peoples memories.[22]
- Crystallizator - This device is mainly used for freezing monsters when no Dombox is available. It has a dial to adjust the ray's temperature.[23]
- Radio-Worm - An anti-escape wristband. This tracking device makes a loud screech when the monster tries to remove it.[24]
- Disco-Monster - A gun-like device that forces a monster to dance. This makes a monster exhausted so it can be captured easily.[25]
- Densifier - This item can alter the body of a person by adjusting it to allow the body to pass through any attack, walls, and objective. It can also make the user's body too heavy or can be used to weaken a monsters power.[20][26] It also has to ability to make the user look like a Dark Phantom.[27]
- Scepter Dom (ZetaDom Stick) - A wand with the ability to control monsters at will. It's considered to be the strongest Dom weapon. However, if the scepter is used too much, it becomes uncontrollable and the user becomes a small monster as a side effect.[28]
