Watermelon Tourmaline

"Watermelon Tourmaline", also known as the Giant Pufferfish, is a corrupted Gem that first appeared in "Beach Party".

Appearance
The upper half of Watermelon Tourmaline's body is colored sea-green, while the bottom half of its body is colored light-pink. Its body is covered with spikes, the spikes on the upper half of its body being more numerous and much longer than the spikes on the bottom half. It has sea-green, diamond shaped pupils with light turquoise colored eyelids and xanadu colored lips.

Abilities

 * Tetrodontid Physiology: It takes on the form, traits, and some abilities of puffer fish allowing it to inhale air to increase its size in order to appear more threatening.
 * Spiky Defense: Like most pufferfish, it possesses sharp spines, which radiate outwards when it is inflated.


 * Air Breath: It has the power to spew an incredibly powerful gale which is strong enough to blow away Pearl's spear in mid-throw, and even Garnet herself.


 * Enhanced Durability: It seems to have high durability, as it was able to endure Amethyst hitting it into the ocean. However, because it is inflated with air, it can be defeated by being pushed into a sharp object with enough force to pop it.
