At the start of their lives, they had an almost white colour, had no suckers and were more feminine and graceful. They became [[orange (colour)|orange]]-coloured, were covered in suckers and became more stocky and masculine in appearance after being sterilised. The greatest rank a Zygon could attain was "warrior engineer". To become a warrior engineer, any Zygon must undergo sterilisation, a process which makes them more aggressive and single-minded.

Zygons were able to produce [[electricity]] bolts from their hands that could stun humans or other Zygons or disintegrate them into piles of hair and skin.

This was exemplified by the [[Skarasen]], a large, cybernetically enhanced creature from their homeworld. Zygons were also known to depend upon the lactic fluid of the Skarasen for their survival.

One of the most important Zygon discoveries was their use of [[body-print]]s. Usually, the Zygons would capture a specimen, such as a [[human]], and put them in a special receptacle. A Zygon could then take the form of this specimen, mimicking both voice and appearance. This body-print needed to be renewed every two hours, while the prisoners were kept alive but unconscious. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons (TV story)|Terror of the Zygons]]'') However, in some circumstances they were able to adopt the shape of the specimen without keeping them in a receptacle, although they still needed the specimen alive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') At some point they gained the ability to keep the shape of a deceased specimen, as long as they did not need any more information from them. They also gained the ability to forge a telepathic link with another being and take the form of a someone from their memory.
