Red Eye

The "Red Eye" was a meteor-like device that threatened Beach City in "Laser Light Cannon". In "Marble Madness," it is revealed that it was a device built by the Gem Homeworld to detect Earth-resident Gem life.

Appearance
The Red Eye is a massive, reddish-orange eye-like entity that is spherical in shape. The Red Eye has a large singular eye with a light orange hexagonal iris and reddish-orange "pupil" of the same shape. Its body (or sclera) is orange, and is covered by a cream-colored covering that can close and open to protect the eye.

Abilities
Although massive in size, it has the ability to levitate, and is also highly durable, having a very hard body which provides great defense against physical attacks, as seen when it withstood multiple attacks without taking any visible damage. Its aperture-like pupil/iris can open up and create a powerful vacuum.

History
Its first appearance is in "Laser Light Cannon", where it threatens Beach City with its potential of colliding with the Earth, which would likely kill all of Beach City's residents. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl try multiple times to stop it by throwing Amethyst at it, but find no success in doing so. It is implied that it cannot be destroyed without Rose Quartz's Laser Light Cannon, which Steven finds. He and the Gems use it to destroy the Red Eye, causing it to explode violently.

In "Marble Madness," Peridot revealed that the Red Eye was a scout sent to Earth by Gems, presumably to ascertain as to whether or not there were Gems present on Earth.
