Centipeetle Gem

Description

Centipeetle, the gem from Monster Buddies. 
I really really hope Steven does go back for her and the other gems when he finds a way to fix them back to their humanoid forms. 
They had an episode or two of Lapis coming back along with Peridot, so I'm crossing my fingers that they won't forget Centipeetle! 
I based my design off their original body type: vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/s…

Looking at the theory from Garnet and Pearl's regeneration... 
Pearl was stabbed in her mid-torso, and when she regenerated, her form got updated with a sash where she got stabbed. 
Garnet regenerated with a color-split in half of her body like what happened to her with the destabilizer. 
Since Centipeetle's form was humanoid, but then became corrupt and changed into the centipeetle mother, the crystal gems took her down. When she regenerated again when Steven popped her out of the bubble, her form changed, she became tiny again. The gems most likely had destroyed her old longer body, and her gem must have adapted and turned her monster body shorter. 
When she saves Steven from getting crushed, her body is crushed underneath it, though to me it looked like it landed on whatever was left of a neck she had, thats why I gave her a scarf. 

But this does raise a lot of questions though. 
The corrupted gems get frustrated and confused because their gem can't seem to revert to their humanoid forms anymore. I think something supernatural among the gems had caused this malfunction in their gems. If Rose Quartz's healing power couldn't even fix them, then maybe its not something that can be healed. Its more of a technological error that maybe Peridot knows how to fix? 
Its also interesting what forms each corrupted gem takes on. Usually it has something to do with an animal. but some are unique, seeing as they become some sort of elemental or even the gem that takes the form of the house in one of the episodes that Lars carves his name into. Maybe their gems malfunctioned and interacted with different creatures or objects, and that is what that gem is doomed to take the form of for the "rest of their lives"? Like a centipede, a bird, an ice creature, a house, a beetle, ect... 
there are quite a few possibilities to this theory. 

I also wondered if bubbling gems can freeze time for them in a way. It keeps them from transforming, it keeps them contained. If they released one of the gems and as it tries to regenerate into its humanoid form.. they could attempt to freeze them in a bubble and see if their gem remembers its "humanity"? Probably not, but there's got to be someway to revert them all back to normal. 
And why are most of the corrupted gems afraid of Garnet? 
Centipeetle was deathly afraid of Garnet's boxing glove knuckles.. I wonder if Garnet has some kind of dark history we don't know about yet? 

Only the future can tell. 
There are so many things that need answers in Steven's Universe, and I won't lie to you every single episode even one that doesn't feature the crystal gems entirely and focuses on the humans, there's always one sweet little moment that I always enjoy. They always manage to find a way to stuff feels in there somewhere. 

I really hope they show Centipeetle though. I'd like to know what her actual gem is! It looks kinda like a pokeball.. I can't really pinpoint exactly which gem it is... its kind of unique.
