The PJ Crystal Totem (referred to as the HQ Crystal or PJ Crystal in the series) is a crystal totem that is the source of containing the supernatural powers for the PJ Masks' superpowered pajamas and HQ. Although it debuted in "PJ Power Up," it is unknown how the crystal was created and how it got in headquarters.
In its debut episode "PJ Power Up," the PJ Crystal Totem was discovered by PJ Robot in headquarters. He knocked the crystal off its pedestal by accident while contacting the PJ Masks, causing them to lose their powers and revert back to their daytime identities. However, it was then resolved when the PJ Masks saw it for the first time and put the crystal back into its pedestal. Additionally, they also obtained new powers from the crystal to defeat Night Ninja.
In "Take Romeo Off The Road," PJ Robot used the PJ Crystal Totem to help make the PJ Seeker. This is its first appearance since "PJ Power Up."
In "Heroes of the Sky," Romeo used his Fly Bots to steal the PJ Crystal Totem to create multiple flying factories to take over the world. When they carried it to the Sky Factory, however, three smaller crystals, known as PJ Power Crystals, fell off. The PJ Masks later retrieved the crystal from Romeo, alongside other crystals stolen from both them and Luna Girl (such as Motsuki's crystal).
In "Super Super Cat Speed," when Catboy attempted to increase his speed, he drained the crystal of its power, resulting in Owlette and Gekko losing their powers and transforming back into their civilian identities. In order to fix it, he transferred all of his power back into the totem, despite the risk of losing his powers forever.
In "Ninja Power Up," Night Ninja used Lionel, Alley Cat and Owly to perform a ritual to make the crystal transfer the PJs' powers to him and his Ninjalinos. The PJs were able to reverse the ritual, which granted them new powers, and also bestowed powers on the 3 animals, turning them into the PJ Pets. In addition, the PJs' Spirit Animals once resided inside the crystal.
In "Carly and Cartoka," the crystal was triggered by the destruction of the PJ Vehicles. In response, the Spirit Animals manifested from the crystal in physical forms to aid the PJs against the Speedy Twins.
In "Heroes Everywhere," the powers from the crystal created the Power Q.
Trivia
- The PJ Crystal Totem is also known as the Super Crystal and Pyja-Cristal (in French).
- In "Power Pondweed," it is revealed by Romeo that its energy powered up a batch of pondweed in the moat, apparently setting up Octobella's rivalry with Gekko in the episode of the same name, even though she initially didn't know about said pondweed until he explained it to her.
- In "Heroes of the Sky," it is revealed that when a part of the crystal is drained of its power, the PJ Mask associated with it will lose both their powers and their memories associated with being a PJ Mask, though other memories (such as knowing each other) stay intact.
- However, this only seems to apply when a villain drains the PJ Crystal as Catboy did so in "Super Super Cat Speed," and Owlette and Gekko lost their powers, but not their memories.
- The instance of the PJ Masks losing their memories to a villain draining the PJ Crystal was dropped altogether in "Catboy's Cat" as Owlette and Gekko still kept their memories. A more powerful item or machine might be needed, as when Pharaoh Boy drained the crystal of its powers, the crystal kept its normal colors, unlike the time when Romeo drained it, possibly because none of the animal parts were completely drained.
- In "Super Super Cat Speed," it is revealed that when a PJ Mask uses too much of their power, the power will be drained out of the crystal and transferred to them, while the other PJ Masks lose their powers.
- Prior to "Heroes of the Sky," the PJ Crystal Totem originally allowed the PJ Masks to have access to their costumes and powers if it is placed on its pedestal in HQ. This is retconned in Season 4 in which it is able to still allow the PJ Masks use their super costumes and powers, even if it's not placed on its pedestal at all.
- In "The Power of Monkey Chatter", "Bubbles Of Badness," "The Camping Trip," and "Carly and Cartoka," it is revealed that when a PJ Mask uses their powers while feeling a sufficiently strong emotion, such as anger or determination, the crystal will grant them a temporary boost of power, the side effect being their eyes glowing. Such power boosts have been Gekko receiving strength beyond his normal Super Gekko Muscles and Catboy receiving enough speed to create dimensional portals. This special aspect seems to have no range limit, as Catboy was able to receive a power boost despite being in another dimension in Zoomzania.
- In "Baddie Bots," it is revealed that not only does the crystal give power to the PJ Masks, but it can also give power to any object resembling an animal.
- With the creation of Power Q, it is unknown whether the PJ Crystal now resides there or is still inside the headquarters on Earth.
