The River-Zoras are more monster looking and haven't been shown so much. So we don't really know that much about them except that they like to fire energy bursts at Link. They have fangs and look more like monster fishes than Zoras.

Certain other features of the Zora biology are revealed when the player can inhabit the body of the Zora Mikau in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' When Link assumes his Zora body he can swim with great ease and agility, using his forearm fins to perform barrel rolls or to jump out of the water. Moreover, these fins are specialized for Link's fighting needs. They can grow larger to serve as sharp-edged weapons similar to swords, and even be projected as twin boomerangs; they retract again when not in use. Link's right fin also grows to become his shield when defending.
Additionally, Zoras who possess magical power have the ability to create electric fields around their bodies as a defense mechanism when swimming, much like electric eels. This ability has only been seen and used in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. All Zoras are powerful swimmers, in fact, powerful enough to swim up waterfalls, as seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
It is also revealed in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' that Zoras lay eggs to reproduce. Zora eggs need to be kept in cold, clean water in order to develop healthily, and every egg from the same clutch must be kept together in order for them to hatch. Newborn Zoras are tadpole-like with a circular body and a long, skinny tail ending in a fluke, much like a note.
