Zigs are pets that are supposed to be able to follow you everywhere.
You can win a Gubani (to be ridden) and a Zig at the Wheel of Fortune. In addition to the mount and the packers mektoubs, you can have up to 3 active Zigs. They are managed a bit like a toub (they have an inventory with maximum bulk of 150, they can be killed, stored in the stable...).
Several types of zigs are in-game:
- Gubani (Wheel prize, different sizes available) ;
- Frippo (win at the Wheel, different sizes available);
- Albino Yubo (special reward that can only be obtained during special subscription offers);
- Capryni (Wheel prize, supreme tokens)[1] and the
- Bolobi (Wheel prize, supreme tokens)...[2]
- Important: free accounts can earn a Zig, but only a subscriber account can really benefit from all their advantages.
Zigs' special features
- It bears the name of its owner and it keeps this name, even if its first owner gives it away (since, like the mektoubs, you can give a mektoub to another homin). On the picture above, you can see on the right Alexarwe's Zig, near Yrkanis' stable (winters in the Forest, in 2605).
- They can only be acquired by winning on the Wheel of Fortune (especially with the excellent tokens, more rarely with the basic ones...) or by exchange with another homin.
- You can have 'at most 3 simultaneously active. Like the mounts it is possible to send them to the pasture[3] .
- Once ordered to follow, the zigs follow their owner through wormholes, lifts or teleporters:
- in a Apartment that of its owner but will also follow its friends when invited.
- in the Guild Islands.
- when breaking a teleportation pact
- It is also possible to put it in your bag (this way you avoid the risks of error) but be careful, its weight and that of the contents of your inventory are added to that of your bag.
- In the bag, you do not have access to your inventory
- The zig has various behaviors, at the beginning you have to tame it (it doesn't always obey very well, it gets better). Often, he turns around his owner, when he goes out of his flat with him, when he comes out of the stable or when he is called (follow me!), but in general he is a calm companion, even if he makes the typical Gubanis' sound.
- Frippos and yubo zigs are like Gubani zigs, but they follow at at larger distance and move more: they bark, pee and scratch the ground with their hind legs...

Rename your zig
It is possible, with a few Elyps, to rename your Zig (or your Mektoubs). The change is made at a stableman (Rewards and services).
It is possible to:Choose a name
Cost: 1000 Elyps.
- Restrictions on the name
- - 24 characters maximum
- - As many spaces as desired (no limitation on the number - e.g. "Zig Newton" or "Toub number One" will be accepted)
- - any alphanumeric character as well as ' # - .
- - the name must of course comply with the names charter
Register a title
Cost: 100 ElypsThe title is, by choice:
- − (Mount, mektoub or) Zig from <your_name>,
- − Gift of <your_name>,
- − Faithful companion.
Have the pet registered under a random name
Cost: 50 Elyps
Solved
- Now (June 2020), you'll find in macro the commands to get them in/out your bag.
Like toubs - maybe even more often than toubs? - we look for them, we don't know where they went...
- Often when we logout, it stays where you are, but won't follow you when you come back. Try to remember where you were when you logged out.
- If you have your zig in your bag, and you TP, it happens that the zig stays there if it was not following.
Better quit near stables or near your apartment.
Better to keep it in stable or close to it or in your bag , if you don't like, as me, spend too much time to find it... </blockquote>
F2P or free account
- Macros don't seem to work (following a discussion on evenness in Sept 2019).
- No access to the Zig's inventory, so they are only decorative (and to be stroked).
As a reminder, only one mektoub (and no apartment).
Giving a zig
To give a zig, don't use Rywards (in which case you only send the skin, not the zig), but use your special bag (I). The recipient will receive a izam to collect it.
Special Zig
On Silan, towards Chiang The Strong, you can see/pet Arionasis's Zig, to honour the memory of Arionasis/Teeneemai, more on the ceremony.

Notes
The first episode of the Ryzom Saga takes place on the living planet Atys, on the borders of the universe, where four civilizations try to heal the wounds of an apocalyptic tragedy.
Three generations ago, the great civilizations of Atys perished during the Great Swarming under the attack of the hordes of kitins, sweeping the underground galleries and marking the beginning of war and then genocide. Much knowledge was lost during this leak, but now is the time to appropriate your inheritance again !
Join the forces with thousands of other homins, masters of art of magic, war, craft and digging to build your people's destiny again!
To do
“The richness of Ryzom lies in what the players and those who love it can contribute. Therefore, we must give them the means and the opportunities.”
This sentence sums up by itself the essence of the project : to expand the Power to the Players beyond the Roleplaying Game and to finally give the means to act in the game itself to the Ryzom community.

More to know
Ryzom is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the independent French studio Nevrax. The game launched in September 2004 under the name The Saga of Ryzom and received little attention at the time. In August 2006, the name was simplified to Ryzom for marketing purposes. Ryzom is labeled as Science-Fantasy by the creators due to storyline elements that are typically found in both science fiction and fantasy genres. The game's engine, NeL, was created by Nevrax and licensed under the GPL. NeL is currently open source and allows anyone to add to it.
The game earned the Best Story award at MMORPG.COM's 2005 Reader's Choice Awards. Allowing players complete control over everything they do is something not many Online games can quote. Players are not trapped in the "one class only" situation that most MMO's nowadays place them in. Ryzom gives the player the option to learn every single skill in the game, or concentrate on whichever they prefer, for as long as you want; or indeed to what depth you prefer.
Recently Which Gate, the current owners, made a Feedback feedback site. The feedback site is proving incredibly useful, giving players the power to choose what they like and dislike and what should get higher priority in being implemented. Winch Gate is showing that with a little time and focus, much can be achieved. Indeed since the departure of Game Forge France, the game has gone from strength to strength, utilising the feedback from players, and the consistant help from the CS Departments.
Now, you can join us!
