Characteristics
There have not been any depictions of the members of this tribe. However, we know that they were a "savage, war-like tribe" from the Faron region. They constructed several ancient monuments, such as the Palmorae Ruins, as well as the three labyrinths: North Lomei Labyrinth, South Lomei Labyrinth and Lomei Labyrinth Island. Their name comes to us from their largest ruin site, the Zonai Ruins. Their untamed ways, likewise, are known to us by the flavour text pertaining to their armour. On nearly every surface of stonework associated with this tribe, there is a peculiar and consistent whirling or spiral pattern: this seems to be a mark of the tribe.

History
Very little is known about this tribe's history: but what we do know can be gleaned from the remains of their civilization, left behind all across Hyrule. They seem to have disappeared and — judging by the state of their civilization's remains — it happened a very long time ago. With the constant, unnatural thunderstorm above the Thundra Plateau, as well as the dense miasma of darkness hanging over the Thyphlo Ruins, it seems the tribe were skilled in magic.

Breath of the Wild
Making their semi-official debut in this game, they only exist as part of the land's vast and storied history.

Trivia

 * The name Zonai seems to be an anagram for, meaning "mystery".
 * Their ruins have several statues, falling into three categories: pigs, owls, and dragons.
 * Pigs are representative of power (see Ganon); owls depict wisdom (see Kaepora Gaebora); and the dragon is predominantly found around the Spring of Courage: so it most likely represents that virtue.
 * This may mean that the tribe had some knowledge of the power of the gods.
