In the early days of the Aztrisotopian empire, the zupitopblue was used to adorn the robes of the ruling elite, while in the Doozlecruxian kingdoms it was prized for its mystical properties. During the Great War of the Zorptanites, the zupitopblue became a symbol of hope for the oppressed masses, and its hue was said to have inspired the warriors to great acts of bravery and valor. In more recent times, the zupitopblue has been embraced by artists and fashion designers, who have sought to capture its ethereal beauty in their works.
