Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE[]
In Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE, Haruki mentions that "artificial demons" (written with the same kanji as the Zoma race) are being produced via obscure rituals at the former site of Home II. The process is described as involve ritually sealing a demon's soul within a deceased body. This turns out to be the fate of the player's mentor, Kuroe, who serves as the final boss of the dungeon. Unlike other games, Zoma is not a distinct race, and the demonized Kuroe belongs to the Fiend race.

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers[]
In order to repair the broken GUMP, Dr. Victor requests the protagonist to retrieve the "Dolly Kadmon" from the Harbor Warehouse. He ends up fighting the demon Gargantua Zero, which has frozen the warehouse. Upon completing Victor's task, he will require the protagonist to fuse any allied demon with the Dolly Kadmon to create his own Zoma. When finished, it will ask the player to give a new name to it, but the default name, Zeed, is provided if the player does not prefer to rename it.
| Demon | Level |
|---|---|
| Zeed | Varies |
| Gargantua Zero | 16 |
Soul Hackers 2[]
In Soul Hackers 2's DLC Lost Numbers, the Lost Numbers were created by Gen Mayumi. Gen Mayumi was an assistant to Mangetsu Kuzunoha and helped to create the Lost Numbers that Yatagarasu requested. After Iron Mask attacked the facility and killed Gen Mayumi, Iron Mask stole the Zoma techology to create Zenon. The Lost Numbers were later released by Gen Mayumi's daughter, Nana after his death.
The difference between Soul Hackers 2 Zoma and the Zoma from other games is that the Zoma in Soul Hackers 2 do not have original designs, these Zoma takes on the forms of Demons and Characters that appear in Soul Hackers 2, though this seems to be a coincidence for the most part as before fighting Lost Knight Arrow comments that he looks like a person then Milady says that it's humanoid appearance is a side effect of the Zoma method and makes no indication that it is connected to the demon that it looks similar to.
