The concept of Zums was actually created in early 2004 although they weren’t added to Webkinz until 2009.
Originally Zums were going to be found anywhere in Webkinz World – like popping in from the side while you were decorating your home. That’s why they have speed-based names – Zippy Zums were going to zip in and zip out quickly making them the hardest to catch.
As Webkinz World grew and evolved, we came up with a new plan for the Zums, a special area where they could exist together and players could visit them called Zumwhere.
Not sure what Zums should look like, we invited several of the artists on the Webkinz team to create their versions of Zums and eventually we decided on the designs that are now in the game.

Silly is not a Zum. I started playing this now that I have deluxe. Kind of slow to do but I can do this page while I wait. Win Win
B) Silly Zums :) There’s Giggly Zums though, so kind of close haha! The history of them is interesting though and all the concept art’s cool.
ommmmggg I love the concept art
I love the zums we have but the concept art is super cute! It would be super cool to see some of these fleshed out as pet buddies!
I love the idea of Zums being everywhere! I wish I could go to Zumwhere more as a Full player – they’re one of my favourite aspects of the game! Zums are adorable! ♥
I love seeing the concept art for Webkinz! I wanna see more, it’s so cool.
I had no idea! Lol I do have the plushie Zums on one of my shelves in the bedroom though :)
