Having only had one short appearance in a 2D game, little can be said about the Zunas' physiology. From the side, it looks like their heads are supposed to be rather thin, with no signs of a nose. Since the graphics don't provide much detail, this may not be an accurate observation. This means that currently, their sole distinct feature is their vibrant green skin, which is pale green at their faces. Some may say they are cactus-like.

==Trivia==
==Nomenclature==
*Zuna's skin color and body shape is slightly reminiscent of cacti, which may be a reference to how they live in the desert.
The Zuna may have been named for the {{Wp|Zuni people|Zuni}}, a Native American tribe in the southwestern United States. Their name may also be based on the Japanese word for sand, {{Romanize|砂|Suna}}.
*The Zuna may have been named for the {{Wp|Zuni people|Zuni}}, a Native American tribe in the southwestern United States.
**Alternately, the Zuna's name may be based on the Japanese word for sand, {{Romanize|砂|Suna}}, thus coinciding with their home in the desert.
*The (presumably) male Zuna seem to be wearing [[Roc's Feather]]s in their hats.
