The Pods are crystalline devices | The Pods are crystalline devices. When closed, they resemble a marble structure in the shape of an unbloomed {{w|lotus flower}}. They open by "blooming", revealing a crystalline chamber within, covered by circuitry. The crystal is usually transparent when not in use. The interior of the pods is completely black{{fact}} and gives the illusion of a large, shadowy room.{{?}} They can come in multiple sizes, as Donald and Goofy sleep within small Pods arranged in rows in the Basement Corridor, while Sora sleeps within a much larger Pod placed by itself in the Pod Room. | ||
