Amethyst pyramids are crystalline entities, named such due to their color and shape being that of a large, flying inverted pyramid. They belong to a similar category as other Gemstone Hegemony entities such as the Ruby Cube and Diamond Farmers.
Sharing many of the traits of other Gemstone Hegemony entities, amethyst pyramids are capable of high speed flight and are considered hostile to humanity, although the exact nature of their hostility and method of inducing fatality is unknown. They should not be confused with the small Amethyst Suicide Devices, which are much smaller and are tools, rather than crystalline life forms.
Kendrick Merrill and his squad have been pursued multiple times by amethyst pyramids, including through Amber Two. Although initially thought to be hostile, it has since been revealed that many amethyst pyramids have been funneling lost members of The New Exodus Vanguard first and second waves to specific realities in preparation for a major battle with the machines of Her Glory.
Little is known of the nature of amethyst pyramids, and it is unknown whether they are individual life forms in their own right, or tools inhabited by other Gemstone Hegemony entities.
Traits:
Little known, capable of surviving significant firepower and likely capable of dealing significant damage to hostile entities. Apparently also readily capable of inter-dimensional travel, although the mechanism for such travel is unknown. Considered hostile to human life, albeit potential allies in the face of a greater threat.
