While little is revealed about them, the fact that Spire can transform at will into the [[Dialanche]], a hypercondensed, spiked ferrous orb, without any technological enhancement suggests that this might be a natural defensive capability of all Diamonts. In this shape, Spire can scale flat surfaces and ram opponents. | While little is revealed about them, the fact that Spire can transform at will into the [[Dialanche]], a hypercondensed, spiked ferrous orb, without any technological enhancement suggests that this might be a natural defensive capability of all Diamonts.

The name Diamont may be derived from a type of phytoplankton, called a [[wikipedia:Diatom|Diatom]], with a unique [[wikipedia:Silicate|silicate]] cell wall (made of hydrated silicon dioxide). This would be concurrent with the Diamont's silicon-based genetic makeup. | The name Diamont may be derived from a type of phytoplankton, called a [[wikipedia:Diatom|Diatom]], with a unique [[wikipedia:Silicate|silicate]] cell wall (made of hydrated silicon dioxide).
