Namesake: Named after the 1979 song of the same name by The B-52's. The abilities are vaguely inspired by the song "Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time" by Panic! At the Disco, which uses a sample of Rock Lobster.

Stand User Namesake: Fred Schneider, one of the songwriters of Rock Lobster and a member of The B-52's.

Type: Automatic

Appearance: Rock Lobster appears as a muscular humanoid with a brown torso that turns black below the waist. Several features of its body are reminiscent of clothes, with it appearing to be wearing black trousers with suspenders, thin gloves with a latex-like texture to them and boots. Its chest also open up in a manner similar to a jacket, revealing a white undershirt with a raised collar and a red tie. Its yellow eyes are dark and sunken, and it has no lips, constantly leaving its teeth, which are also yellow, exposed.

Rock Lobster is a stand that only manifests in the case of its user being drunk. It acts completely independently from its user and exists to serve the purpose of guiding them and keeping them out of danger while they're intoxicated. Rock Lobster inherits the sense of logical thinking of its user while sober as well as their intentions, and is often performing the actions of their user in their place, including conversing with others, as it is fully capable of speech.

Alcohol-powered Strength: Rock Lobster becomes more powerful in accordance to its user's intoxication. This applies mostly to is durability and speed, with it becoming more capable of protecting its user as they become less capable of defending themselves. Its durability can range from mere peak human when slightly tipsy, to nigh-invulnerable when completely inebriated.

Withdrawal Immunity: While the direct effects of consuming alcohol remain unaffected, Rock Lobster's influence allows its user's body to remain completely stable, no matter how drunk they get. This protects them from alcohol withdrawl symptoms, addiction and even organ damage. The user can effectively consume as much alcohol as they want or possibly stay drunk forever without any negative side-effects.

Drunken Fighting: One of Rock Lobster's more unusual abilities, being drunk makes its user significantly better at fighting than normally. Fighting while drunk appropriately causes the user to utilize a fighting style comparable to several different styles of the Chinese martial art zui quan, or drunken fist, applying sophisticated and advanced fighting techniques despite still clearly being drunk. The user even exhibits some form of superhuman strength while fighting, allowing them to overpower most opponents in a fistfight. I really like the idea of a stand that relies on drunken martial arts. That would definitely be an interesting battle. Well, if Schneider were to be the kind of drunk to be constantly picking fights with any poor bastard on the street, then I'm sure he'd find a good match in no time.
