Early History
Clan Zellol was created before 7000 BBY by a Taung that had natural skins with healing and before the Mandalorians conquered a planet in the Outer Rim which would become Mandalore. When the Mandalorians started conquering other planets in the Mandalore the clan remained on the new world, and established a territory on Mandalore's northern hemisphere where they would remain for quite sometime and honed their medical practices.

In 3996 BBY Clan Zellol heard Mandalore the Indomitable's call to invade the Deep Core searching for more challenges and rallied to him. When defeated Mandalore the Indomitable and he swore fealty to Qel-Droma and his own Sith Master, Exar Kun, Clan Zellol followed him until his death and then followed his successor Mandalore the Ultimate.

Prelude and Mandalorian Wars (3996-3960 BBY)
After the Great Sith War Clan Zellol followed Mandalore the Ultimate and prepared from the next war for the next twenty years until all the clans were called upon to start raiding the Outer Rim. They followed all the forces on the Mandalorian force, participating as combat medics and doctors mainly but also as soldiers as well in the war. They participated in the Battle of Malachor V but did not suffer major losses from the Mass Shadow Generator. After the war ended they were forced to be stripped of their weapons and armor, and their basilisk war droids by the Republic.

Bringing In Clan Voul (3956 BBY)
Clan Zellol was reluctant to allow Clan Voul to join the ranks of House Kal and was the main opposition to their invitation to join. They feared the aggressive nature of the clan would cause them to start attacking the weaker ones in the house, and they fear that sense they were mainly known to be a healers they would be the first to be attacked. But their opposition was overruled by the other clans.
