—Lighthouse Gem Monster, "Horror Club" |
The Lighthouse Gem Monster is a corrupted Gem that first appeared in "Horror Club". It is notable for possessing the Lighthouse.
Appearance
It consists of a gigantic mouth grown on the wall with Lars' name on it.
History
"Horror Club"
It was trapped inside a wall in the Lighthouse.
When Lars and Ronaldo were young, Lars carved his name in one of the walls. In response the gem loosened a plank from the wall and smacked Lars with it. Ronaldo took a photo of this event, intending to use it as evidence of the Lighthouse's possession, but Lars feared embarassment and tore up the photo. The Gem recorded Lars' and Ronaldo's falling out.
Years later, Steven, Lars and Sadie went to the Lighthouse and watched a movie with Ronaldo. The power in the Lighthouse went out, likely due to the Gem. Ronaldo suspected a ghost and brought out a pendulum. The Gem sent the pendulum flying into Lars' face, then it lifted many folders from a filing cabinet which circled the humans. After throwing a few more objects at the group it tried to trap them by forcing the only door shut, but they managed to charge through it. They attempted to exit the Lighthouse, but the Gem attacked them using scarecrows which were placed outside by Ronaldo earlier. The group forced out the scarecrows and shut the door, leaving themselves inside the Lighthouse.
As the group argued amongst themselves, the gem drew back some floorboards from under Sadie, causing her to fall in the basement, then it closed the floor. It opened a trapdoor for Steven, Lars and Ronaldo to enter the basement.
Inside the basement, the group saw the Gem's physical form, which grew a mouth right before their eyes. Ronaldo attempted to sacrifice Lars to the Gem by throwing him into the mouth, hoping to rescue Sadie. Steven jumped in to protect Lars; as the Gem tried to bite into the two, Steven formed his bubble shield and forced the Gem's teeth back, and this destroyed its mouth and physical form. Sadie was unharmed, and as she emerged from the mess she pushed out the gemstone on to the floor. Steven picked up the Gem, and it immediately played back its recording of Lars and Ronaldo.
After watching the recording, Steven bubbled and stored the gemstone. Sadie and Steven understood that the Gem felt hurt by Lars' carving, and that its aggression came from being trapped for a long time.
Abilities
- Possession: It has the ability to possess, although it is unknown if this ability is limited to inorganic or non-living matter.
- Host Body Manipulation: While possessing the lighthouse, it was able to manipulate different parts of the building, like forming flesh-like matter and a mouth on the basement wall.
- Partial Possession: It has many paranormal-like abilities, such as possession of inanimate objects like scarecrows and fake bats, meaning it is not limited to only the light house but nearby objects or items touching it.
- Telekinesis: It carries the power of telekinesis, which is shown when it was able to levitate and throw objects inside the lighthouse.
- Memory Projection: It has the ability to project recordings of past events it has witnessed, just like Pearl, this also bears a resemblance to Lapis Lazuli's photographic memory-like ability to replay past events as seen in the episode "Mirror Gem".
- Hologram Projections: The Lighthouse Gem Monster can project holograms like an uncorrupted Gem, with enough skill to create accurate "playbacks" of past events from memory.

Trivia
- It's capable of projecting recordings of events that it has witnessed, similar to Pearl's ability to project holograms, and Lapis Lazuli's ability to records events she has witnessed through the mirror she was trapped in. It is the first (and so far only) Gem monster to demonstrate this ability.
- It is the first Gem monster to possess the ability to talk. However, its speech is faint and disorientated.
- It is the first Gem monster to target a specific individual, with Lars being that individual.
- It's questionable if it is corrupted as it hasn't been seen using a form. However, the big mouth might have been its form, which would explain the mouth poofing.
