Zoma has his own battle theme, a general standard for a final boss. Using the [[Orb of Light]] reduces Zoma's overall hit points, allowing him to be defeated much more easily.  It also enables the party's healing spells to actually damage Zoma.  The party's Priest, for example, can cast Healmore on Zoma and deal damage.
In the remake of ''Dragon Quest III'', Zoma's specialty music and primary color palette are not shown until after the Orb of Light is used. This color arrangement is the opposite of the one in the original game which made Zoma a blue color after using the Orb of Light.
