Stand Types

This is a list of the different types of Stands within the JoJo universe. It should be noted that not all Stands fall under the main categories below.

Ability Stand
Stands that grant their users a superhuman ability of their own. The User uses the ability without a Stand Physical Form, as the Stand is bound to the user's own body. Ability stands typically rank A in durability, because they do not take damage themselves and can only deactivate if their users are incapacitated.

List of Ability Stands

 * Khnum
 * Achtung Baby
 * Atom Heart Father
 * Earth, Wind, and Fire (Implied to be a Stand)
 * Stray Cat
 * Scary Monster
 * Scan
 * Love Deluxe

Automated Stand
Stands that act on their own. They follow a simple objective without directly obeying orders from their original users, though can be pre-set to follow orders before they are activated. Said users do not have to be present for the Stands to do anything, as these Stands are known for having a range that is close to infinite. Also, due to the Stand being automated, if the Stand takes any damage, the user will not recieve any damage at all.

List of Automated Stands

 * The Empress
 * Anubis
 * Cheap Trick (notably causes direct harm to its user)
 * Black Sabbath
 * Baby Face
 * Notorious B.I.G.
 * Judgment

Combined Stand
Stands that have many abilities involving different types.

List of Combined Stands

 * Killer Queen
 * Whitesnake

Multiple Forms Stand/Evolved Stands
A few stands have the inherent ability to evolve; becoming stronger and allowing their user to use the stand in different forms with new/different powers. Unlike "Combined Stands", they are not necessarily able to use all their different abilities at once and may only use certain abilities per form.

List of Evolved Stands

 * Echoes
 * Tusk
 * Whitesnake

Special Stand
Stands that don't fall under the types listed above are called Special Stands.
