PAW Patrol LIVE! Description

Zuma is a playful, water-loving Labrador pup, and the team’s water rescue dog. At five years old, he’s a happy, energetic beach puppy who loves to laugh and surf. He’s always trying to get the more serious pups like Chase and Rubble to “lighten up.”

Personality

Zuma is very laid-back and calm, though he's not as serious about duty as Chase. He is relaxed and his own fears tend to be more subtle than the rest of the pups' phobias. He is always loyal and has an abundant liking for Ryder. He is playful and always ready to have a good laugh. He's usually sunny and optimistic. He's shown to be rather good with ocean animals.

He has a competitive side; he and Skye have a friendly rivalry at times, but it's all in good fun. Once, in "Pups Fall Festival", they even argued about who got to the elevator first. They're often shown to have a close friendship and they've been seen doing things together.

In "Pups Save the Carnival", Zuma is shown to be upset because he is unable to win prizes in a carnival game. He loses his confidence briefly, but later regains it as the episode resolves.

In "Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Windsurfer", it is revealed that he idolizes Hurricane Harrigan.

He sometimes speaks like a surfer and uses slang like "dude", fittingly for the water rescue pup. He's even an expert at kitesurfing.

Appearance

Zuma is a Chocolate Labrador puppy. He has brown fur, floppy ears, and amber eyes. His collar is dark blue and has a tag that's orange with a silver anchor symbol on it representing the sea. His gear is a bright orange water helmet along with scuba gear on his back.

In PAW Patrol: The Movie, Zuma's standard uniform was given a visual redesign, his suit having armored plating with cyan lights, which are also present on his pup pack. His helmet was also slimmed down, with twin spotlights fitted in front of the forehead. He also features a visor without a frame. Much like all of the pups sans Chase, Zuma's movie uniform features sleeves, though unlike the others, his uniform covers his rear as well, much like the Air Rescue flight suits.

Equipment and Gadgets

Pup Tag

Like all the PAW Patrol pups Zuma has his own personalized pup tag which he can use to communicate with Ryder and the other PAW Patrol pups. His pup tag has a shape of an anchor with orange background to represent his job of underwater missions. When in use it flashes its light. The pup tag also has special mechanism, which allows the PAW Patrol pups to make video calls to Ryder's pup-pad. His Mighty Pups pup tag resembles a wave symbol on it with orange background.

Pup Pack

In "The New Pup", Zuma uses a buoy launcher from his Pup pack to launch a buoy and get Jake's frozen back pack. Other than that, he mostly uses it for scuba diving due to it carrying his oxygen tank and a pair of engines for rapid movement underwater.

Scuba Gear

Zuma has scuba gear he wears on his back like a backpack. It features with a flashlight as well as small turbines to swim faster. The scuba mouthpiece is shaped like a bone. This valuable kit is used on underwater missions (such as "Pups Save a Goodway"). Zuma usually scuba-dives alongside Ryder, though he did so on his own in "Pups and the Trouble with Turtles".

Flight Pack

In the Season 3 episode, "Air Pups", Zuma was given a flight pack equipped with an air-to-sea jetpack that is functional in both the air and underwater. It also has a scuba mode that deploys his scuba mouthpiece when activated, allowing him to breathe underwater.

Sea Patrol Pup Pack

With the creation of the Sea Patrol to protect Adventure Beach, Zuma was granted a pup pack similar to the other pups, equipped with a rescue buoy to pull people to safety from the water.

Mission PAW Pup Pack

In "Mission PAW: Quest for the Crown", he was given a pup pack with a super sonar ability to see things underwater. The pup pack is also equipped with an "aqua drone" that can grab objects. The mouthpiece on his helmet also provides him a way to talk underwater.

Mighty Pups Pup Pack

In Mighty Pups, Zuma was given a pup pack equipped with a surfboard that allows him to surf on waves. It also stores his oxygen tank.

Aqua Pups Pup Pack

In "Aqua Pups: Pups Save the Reef", he was given a pup pack that is equipped with a sonar to detect sounds and locate things underwater.

Vehicles

Hovercraft

Zuma's hovercraft can be ridden on water and land, including sand. Zuma uses his hovercraft in missions he gets picked in. In "Pups in a Fog", Zuma gave Chase a ride to the Lighthouse. The vehicle number is 07. During later missions in the jungle, Zuma's hovercraft has been painted in camouflage colors, sports push bars on the front, and the engines extend further out from the main body. It is also big enough for humans to ride in as first seen in "Pups' Adventures in Babysitting".

Skills and Abilities

Zuma is an excellent swimmer and diver, with scuba gear that support him in his underwater missions, as seen in "Pups and the Ghost Pirate", "Pups Save a Goodway", "Pups Save a Walrus" and "Pups Make a Splash". Even without his breathing apparatus, he can hold his breath for a long time, like when he let Wally breathe through his oxygen mask in "Pups Save a Walrus". He can also stand on his hind legs as shown in "Pups and the Ghost Pirate".

Whenever he's a Mighty Pup, he can spray water through his paws and can control the ocean. While charged-up, he can create energy bubbles to trap things.

In PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Zuma gains the power to transform himself into water, allowing him to slip through grates and travel through pipes. He also retains the power to spray water from his paws.
