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 Farmer]]s.
Sharing many of the traits of other [[Gemstone Hegemony]] entities, amethyst pyramids are capable of high speed flight and are generally considered hostile to humanity. They are effectively suicide weapons, utilizing their own body or form as a kinetic weapon, as well as generating a large sphere of complete annihilation, although resulting in the exact nature destruction of their hostility themselves and method of inducing fatality whatever is unknownin close proximity to them. They While similar in functionality, they should not be confused with the small [[Amethyst Suicide Device]]s, which are much smaller and are tools, rather than apparent 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 still unknown whether they are individual life forms sentient in their own right, or tools . They do not appear to be inhabited by other [[Gemstone Hegemony]] entities, and contain circulatory fluid in the form of a purple solution of ionic compounds (salts), which is known to stain clothing and generate an unpleasant smell.
Traits:
Little known, capable of surviving significant firepower and likely capable of dealing significant damage to hostile entities, although at significant cost, as their primary weapon of offence results in their own destruction. 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.
