The Jet Monster is a type of ariel Corrupted Gem that located the Crystal Gems in Beach City.
Physcial Appearance
The Jet monster is a semi-mechanical-esque creature that holds a resemblence to a airplane or jet. It has no legs, arms, or eyes, though it does have a screen at the front of the head. It has a long, skewer-like snout on the end of its rounded head. Its entire body is dark brown in color, holding a slight reflective look similar to metal on a plane. It has manta ray like wings, each wing having two jet propellers which it can alter in angle. The interior of the Jet Monster has numerous Gemstones, which're encased and bubbled.
History
The Jet Monster arrives in a cloud cover to sneak up on Peridot, Diopside, Lapis Lazuli, and Applejack, and upon sensing them, it flew in to attack. During its first attack, it used its sonic booms to disable Peridot's Limb Enhancers, and captured the Gems of the group. It reappeared later on and chased after the Armadillo Monster, capturing it as well before confronting Garnet, Jasper, and the other members. It only took the combined power of Carnelian and the Lapis/Peridot fusion to finally poof it.
Abilities
Flight
The Jet Monster is a very efficient flyer, able to keep up with Lapis Lazuli in speed. It can perform a 180 barrel roll, and a horizontal U-turn with ease, and able to stop itself in a few short seconds.
Mechanical Properties
Despite being a corrupted Gem, it holds a number of abilities more akin to machines and spaceships:
- Scanner - In order to identify Gems, it is able to open up a compartment on its head and scan its surroundings, not dissimilar to a ship's scanner. It is able to distinguish the different between organic and inorganic creatures thanks to this.
- Tractor Beam - once it defeats a Gem, it can open a hatch on its stomach and use a tractor beam to bring in its targets into its inner body.
- Cloaking Device - Upon its arrival to a target, it can disguise itself in a cloak to appear like a cloud flying through the air.
Enhanced sound
It is able to re-aim its jet engines in order to release a sonic boom at its attackers. It is strong enough to knock numerous opponents back, and the sound emitted from said engines can disable other machines, evident with Peridot's Limb Enhancers.
Trivia
- It is the only Corrupted Gem shown to actively hunt down other Gems, both normal and Corrupted.
