Gloom is a cyclops creature with a dark gray spherical body and a single large, striking yellow eye featuring a vertical black slit pupil and a small red triangular highlight, framed by a light blue-purple ring. He wears a black knitted beanie with ear-like spikes protruding from the sides and a small yellow tag with the TEDI crest. He has long, slender dark legs ending in oversized rounded feet, and a control belt on his left leg.

Gloom is a young dimensional monster with a reserved, pragmatic, and irritable personality. He tends to be unenthusiastic about protocols, formalities, or repetitive information, responding with dry sarcasm and few words. During his introduction, he refused to explain details about himself beyond what was necessary, showing little interest in following ceremonies he considers pointless.

He values ​​tranquility, personal space, and logical thinking. He tends to become frustrated when others act impulsively or ignore warnings, such as when he tried to stop an argument by asking them to use their heads before acting. Although he is easily annoyed, he usually tries to resolve problems reasonably before losing his temper.

He is cautious and tends to think about the consequences. While others get excited or panic, Gloom analyzes the situation and looks for practical solutions. He was the one who expressed concern about forbidden activities and who insisted on developing a plan when alarming information about his situation was discovered.

He possesses strong emotional control, but intense emotions can cause his powers to manifest involuntarily. When repeatedly pressured, started, or provoked, he can react explosively, although he is usually surprised or embarrassed after losing control.

Despite his aloof demeanor, he demonstrates empathy. During a fight in which he had the upper hand, he chose to withdraw upon seeing his opponent crying rather than seize the opportunity to win. He also helps his teammates in times of danger and uses his skills to protect them, even when he is annoyed with them.

He dislikes conflict, arguments, and unnecessary drama. He prefers to resolve problems, rest, and regain his composure. His affection is rarely expressed with affectionate words; it is usually shown through actions, protection, and practical help.

Gloom has the ability to create black portals for teleportation, but he can only teleport to locations he has physically seen at least once in his life. He can also open portals to a dark dimension—an empty void where nothing is visible, and he himself becomes invisible (as seen during his fight with Zappy). However, while his body is hidden in this dark dimension, his eye remains visible, which can potentially reveal his location. Also, using these abilities appears to heavily drain his stamina.

Similar to Zappy, Gloom's powers are directly tied to his emotional state. When experiencing intense anger or stress, he can emit powerful shockwaves that ripple through the room, while his voice echoes everywhere. It is implied that he accidentally killed two TEDI staff members this way.

Additionally, Gloom can shapeshift and traverse surfaces: he can stretch his limbs to grab people, increase his size to intimidate opponents, or transform into a small shadowy substance, allowing him to move quickly across walls and ceilings.

Gloom relates to her friends in the following way:

With Zappy

Relationship type:

"Hyperactive little sister who's driving me crazy."

She constantly nags her.

She's constantly irritated.

But also:

She tries to help her.

She doesn't want to hurt her.

She worries when she's upset.

With Nebulor

They seem to have a close, equal relationship, a strong friendship.

Because Nebulor seems to be the only one who partially understands how Gloom works.

Nebulor observes.

He analyzes.

I deduce.

And he's usually right.

At first, Gloom seems quite obedient:

He goes to activities.
He listens to explanations.
He accepts punishments.
He even reads a book about how to behave with the caregivers.
He worries when Nebulor does something that could get them in trouble.

Gloom obeys because he understands the usefulness of order, not because he automatically respects authority.

If a supervisor were to tell him:

"Do this because I said so."

He would probably do it with a huge sigh and a "I want to disappear" expression.

But if they were to tell him:

"Do this because it's necessary to prevent someone from getting hurt."

He would surely cooperate much more.

Gloom is the type of test subject who:

Respect useful rules.
Tolerate annoying rules.
Question absurd rules.
Cooperate with competent authorities.
Become irritated with incompetent authorities.
Accept consequences when you admit your mistakes.
Quickly lose respect when you discover disappointment.
