Sugilite

Sugilite is the Crystalsapien guardian of the planet Petropia and its people, the Petrosapiens.
==Appearance==
Sugilite looks similar to Chromastone in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, except his eye is white and he lacks an Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol.
When he absorbed the back-up crystal, the magenta crystal parts of Sugilite's body turned red and the crystal on top of his head grew slightly longer.

==Personality==
As the guardian of the Petrosapien race, Sugilite is very selfless and protective. He is willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill his duty.
==History==
===Background===
The original Sugilite was created to serve as the guardian of Petropia.
Sugilite's DNA was taken to serve as the Omnitrix sample for the Crystalsapien species. This created a genetic back-up of Sugilite in the form of Chromastone.
Sugilite was believed to have been destroyed along with Petropia and his people (the bounty hunter Tetrax Shard was the only survivor) by Vilgax.
===Alien Force===
While exploring the shattered remains of Petropia, Tetrax discovered that the crystal Vilgax used to destroy Petropia (which Tetrax unwittingly handed to Vilgax) served as a back-up for Petropia and its people. With this knowledge, Tetrax stole the back-up crystal back from Vilgax and sought out Ben in order to release Sugilite's genetic back-up from the Omnitrix. He demanded that Ben hand over Chromastone, forcing Ben to transform. However, Tetrax was unaware that Chromastone was destroyed and had re-formed into Diamondhead.Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2
Tetrax used a sonic device to shatter Diamondhead, releasing Sugilite's back-up. Tetrax then gave Sugilite's back-up the crystal which he absorbed before flying off into space to restore Petropia and its people. However, the theft of the back-up crystal did not go unnoticed by Vilgax, who followed Tetrax to Earth. While Sugilite's back-up returned to the shattered ruins of Petropia and began to reconstruct it, Vilgax chased after Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Tetrax, cornering them in a factory. Kevin then accidentally revealed that Sugilite's back-up had it and Vilgax flew to where Sugilite's back-up was, to find a restored Petropia.
Outraged over the theft of "his" crystal to restore a dead world, Vilgax beat Sugilite's back-up, demanding he return the crystal. Sugilite's back-up plead for mercy, asking Vilgax to let him continue reviving the planet. However, Vilgax revealed he has no mercy, claiming he had "never heard of it". Ben and company arrived too late to save Sugilite's back-up from Vilgax, who broke off the crystal from Sugilite's back-up, only to discover the crystal's power had been drained and flew off, disappointed.
The dying Sugilite back-up gave Ben a second back-up crystal, wanting Ben to finish what he had started. Ben then took the crystal from Sugilite's back-up as he faded away. Ben transformed into Diamondhead (revealing he knew what to do) and used the crystal to revive Petropia's people. This also revived the original Sugilite, who introduced himself to Ben and thanked him for his help in restoring Petropia and its people (stating they are in his debt). He then returns to his post as the guardian of Petropia.

Being a Crystalsapien, Sugilite possesses all of the same abilities that Chromastone possesses, including some abilities that Ben does not know.Tetrax ShardThe Secret of Chromastone
Sugilite has the unique ability to restore the planet Petropia and its people, if they are destroyed, using a special crystallized back-up when a nearby group of stars are aligned. By channeling the energy from the star alignment, Sugilite can use it to power the restoration of Petropia.
It is shown that some of Sugilite's beams can crystallize targets in a hard, red colored crystal. This was shown when Vilgax crystallized Tetrax with a beam from the back-up crystal.
If the crystal on top of his head is removed, he can reform another back-up crystal when the star alignment is just right.
==Weaknesses==
He has the same weaknesses as any other Crystalsapien.
