1 - We know that Dio was recruiting only stand users, and I doubt he.

2 - Why would he plant a spore in the Patriarch if he was just a common man ? it´s not like he would represent a threat like the others with spores (Kakyoin, Polnareff, Enya).

3 -  The ability of developing a Stand is present in the familly, as seen in the Joestar and Brando families. Both Keicho and Okuyasu have a stand, so their father might have.

4 - Different from what the spores did to the others when actvated (Kakyoin´s and Polnareff´s grew tentacles who tried to kill Jotaro and probably themselves, while Enya´s killed her), the Patriarch was turned into a immortal monster. Could that be the effect of his stand acting against the spore ? or his stand allows him to be immortal, so the spore continuously trying to kill him deformed his body, but wasn´t succesful.

For these motives I was thinking if it´s possible for the Nijimura Patriarch to also have a unknown (and unnamed) stand. What do you guys think ?
