Soft Machine

Soft Machine (ソフト・マシーン) is the Stand of Mario Zucchero featured in Vento Aureo.

Appearance
Soft Machine is an armored humanoid figure with robotic eyes and no visible mouth or nose. Most of its entire body is covered in a series of large spiked nubs, with bullet-shaped objects protruding from the top of its head. In its right hand, the Stand hold a short, dagger-like that is uses for its ability.

Abilities

 * Pinch Deflating: Soft Machine is capable of deflating people (including himself) and objects by stabbing them with its rapier. Deflated people and objects have 'air' visibly escape from the puncture in their bodies and eventually become limp and semi-rubbery, akin to the skin of a balloon. The deflated victims can then be pulled through small spaces, such as pipes, often by means of stretching them out. Among the best examples of the ability's usage is when Soft Machine covered a ship with the deflated version of an identical ship, allowing Zucchero effective surprise attacks.


 * Sword: Stabbing does not particularly injure victims, though the short sword can also cut and damage targets, as shown when Zucchero attempts to stab Leone Abbacchio in the throat to kill him.
