A Gummiscope is a giant telescope that first appears in the Adventures of the Gummi Bears episode "Light Makes Right". A second Gummiscope is later found in the episode "Return to Ursalia", and used again, in the second part of "King Igthorn", the series finale.
Built by the Great Gummies, it is meant to harness sunlight as a means of long-range communication that could allow them to make contact with other Gummi Bear colonies across kingdoms and even across oceans, like the Gummi Bear colony in New Gumbria.
In the wrong hands, a Gummiscope can also be used as a powerful laser weapon that is capable of destroying an entire kingdom, as demonstrated by Duke Igthorn when he and his Ogres fire a warning shot at King Gregor's Dunwyn Castle, injuring Princess Calla in the process in "Light Makes Right."
When used for its intended main purpose, messages are interpreted by a mechanical writing arm that automatically transcribes the message on a piece of parchment, as seen in the same episode.
However, in the episode "Return to Ursalia," Zummi finds a signal manual in Gummi Glen's library that allows the Gummies to interpret Sir Thornberry's signal of Ursalia's Gummiscope, similar to interpreting Morse Code, informing them that a new group of Gummies has taken refuge in the city.
