Zums
Zumbuddies are a fictional species that reside in Zumwhere and made their debut in Webkinz World during 2009. In October 2009, plush toys that include Feature Codes which can be used to unlock Zumwhere were released. Each Zumbuddy code also gives a pet buddy that can follow Webkinz or Lil'Kinz around. The first five Zumbuddies or Zumbuddy Klips that a player purchases will unlock a new Zum Room in Zumwhere. After that, the player will be awarded a new Zum Room every five Zumbuddies.
In January 2010, a new series of Zumbuddy toys was announced. Six new Zums were released: Zoro, Zami, Zype, Zane, Zuzu, and Zip.
In June 2010, a third series of Zumbuddies were released. This series included the release of Zorth, Zavi, Zeb, Zala, Zaza, and Zap.
In August 2010, Ganz announced a series of virtual-only Zumbuddies titled the Sweet Zums. Only 4 members of this species were released: Zike, Zilma, Zorbo, and Zofia.
The fourth and final series of Zumbuddies was released in October 2010 and included Zehe, Zreth, Zeta, Zahara, Zann, and Zoza.

Main Article: Zumwhere
Zumwhere is the virtual world where your Zums live and play. Zumwhere can be located in the Magical Forest.
Like Webkinz, Zums are pets that can be taken care of and played with. The player may purchase Zum-specific items from the Z-Shop with the currency "zummies" (as well as KinzCash) to give to their Zum. The Zum Room functions similar to Webkinz' rooms: the option to purchase and edit rooms are available, a button to zoom is placed above, and even a miniature dock is present to hold and organize Zum items.
