Hollows in Zenless Zone Zero explained

Hollows are apocalyptic-level supernatural disasters that have decimated much of the civilization surrounding New Eridu. They appear as a spherical dimension scattered across much of the world.

These rapidly expanding, sphere-shaped anomalies create dimensions inhabited by Ethereals — the primary enemies in the game.

Citizens lost inside face numerous dangers, including the risk of corruption and mutation. Furthermore, Ethereals, which vary greatly in form, are unpredictable on the battlefield.

Some may seem weak or sluggish but can deliver powerful attacks unexpectedly. Certain Ethereals possess special abilities, such as teleportation, adding to the peril they present.
