"	Even though we've already won the fight for World, we're yet trying to keep it safe! There are battle-damaged Gems that are yet effectually, and they're not like us. Something'south really wrong with them. They're like horrible monsters. We have to poof their bodies away, then keep their Gems inside of bubbling, so they tin't form again and hurt anybody. Maybe someday I'll exist able to heal what's wrong with them, just I'yard not sure how. Mom couldn't gear up them either. For at present, we're keeping them safe inside the Temple.	"
—Steven, "Guide to the Crystal Gems"

Information

Crusade

Corrupted Gems used to be normal Gems prior to the events that unfolded at the end of the Rebellion. As a concluding ditch attempt in the war for Earth, the Great Diamond Authority sent out a Corrupting Light which corrupted gems from both Homeworld and the Rebellion that had been left on Earth, virtually likely a means of ensuring the rebellion couldn't directly threaten Homeworld. In "Monster Reunion", the Centipeetle Female parent described it every bit a "song" and remembering information technology seemed to be what triggered her to revert back into her corrupted form.

Description

"	It's sort of similar if MC Bear-Bear didn't tear the fabric of his arm, simply the fabric of his listen.	"
—Garnet, "Monster Reunion"

The advent of the Corrupted Gems vary profoundly with different Gems. Although, in "Monster Reunion" multiple Centipeetle Mothers can be seen, hinting at the possibility that like Gems will take on the aforementioned corrupted forms. As the bodies of gems are mental projections, the bodies of corrupted gems are a reflection of how damaged their minds are. With forms ranging from slightly humanoid, to monstrous, and some not having a physical body.

Corruption also changes the concrete appearance of a Gem'south gemstone. As Centipeetle's gemstone had a curvy contour line that surrounded the circumference of the gem, and upon partial healing by Steven, the curvy contour line straightened.

About corrupted Gems are hostile and unsafe. Withal, much like regular Gems, when their bodies are severely damaged, they explode into smoke, or "poof", leaving their gemstone behind. The gemstone tin can so be safely independent in a Gem bubble, preventing it from regenerating. Some corrupted Gems are imprisoned in objects (such as the Pyramid Temple's gemstone), which also prevents them from regenerating.

Corruption also seems to strip gems of some of their basic powers. They are unable to summon their weapons or use warp pads and other Gem structures, such as a door to a spaceship.

Healing

Garnet simply describes corruption as a tear in the mind of a Gem, rather than physical harm on their gemstone and as such is harder to heal than a cracked Gem. There is i known way to heal corrupted gems and reverse the furnishings.

Steven'due south healing spit only partially and temporarily healed the Centipeetle Mother, but she reverted to her corrupted form presently after. Garnet acknowledges this as a major stride in trying to heal the Corrupted Gems even though Steven's attempt had failed, maxim that it was the best that they've seen it work. She indicated that Rose Quartz was unable to heal the Corrupted Gems to the aforementioned extent her son, Steven, had washed.

Trivia

• When regenerating, the Centipeetle Mother briefly assumed a humanoid shape - presumably reflective of her original form.
• It'southward unknown how many of the corrupted Gems are former Homeworld Gems and how many are old Crystal Gems.
• Some corrupted Gems, such as the Worm Monster and the Centipeetle Mother, are shown to have an urge to eat food. The reasons for this are unknown, only it is possible that they exercise not gain sustenance from their gemstones like nigh other Gems do.
• Unreleased corrupted Gems can be seen on Guy Davis' Tumblr, such equally the Stinger, the Fist Chest, and the Trounce Back.
• Garnet's description of the divergence between cracked and corrupted gems in "Monster Reunion" is spot on. Where gem corking tin be represented by significant physical impairment, gem corruption could exist representative of mental damage. The etymology of "schizophrenia" is "the splitting (or tearing or fracturing) of the heed", a word that for years was used to broadly describe simply about any mental illness until the 1970s when significant changes to how mental disorders are diagnosed. Schizophrenia does not imply that a person has multiple personalities. That diagnosis belongs to Multiple Personality Disorder, which is a completely different diagnosis and is often non related to schizophrenia. The most common mental disorders are anxiety disorders (including PTSD) and low. How the series will handle the result of gem corrpution is withal to be determined only it is quite articulate that it will be the topic of futurity episodes.
