Talk:Corrupted Gems/@comment-5473848-20150926004829

I think that Corrupted Gems are basically Gems with amnesia. They couldn't be "cured" by Rose, possibly meaning that they weren't damaged bodily, but rather mentally. As a result they could've turned into a version of the first object they've seen after losing their memory or an image of their lost memory, given that Gems can shapeshift, and they can only remember a shadow of what they used to be. Either that or they are Kindergarten Gems that took the form of something that they saw and possibly liked, example being that Amethyst was apperantly more animalistic when the Crystal Gems first found her, and also her constant use of shapeshifting. We also don't know what Amethyst looked like before she met the Crystal Gems.
