Notorious B.I.G

Notorious B.I.G. (ノトーリアス・B.I.G.) is the Stand of Carne, featured in Part V: Vento Aureo.

Appearance
In its original form, with its user alive; appearing momentarily, Notorious B.I.G. seems humanoid. Its right eye is masked.

Changing upon its user's death, it begins as a small creature of two short arms and a head of two eyes, again with its right eye covered by a halved piece rising in a peak above its head.

Personality
Notorious B.I.G. is a rather unique Stand due to its activation prerequisite of having its user die, and its capacity to live on after this.

It seems to have an infantile personality, seeking only to devour things and further its growth.

After it is dropped into the sea, it occasionally attacks ships sailing by that are faster then the waves. Sailors warn against the nearby area, naming it "Tyrrhenian's stomach".

Abilities

 * Immortality: Notorious B.I.G. was destroyed several times only to completely recuperate within seconds; even dropping it from a moving airplane into the ocean had no effect on it whatsoever. This ability comes from the fact it activated through the death of its original user, and as such, the original user cannot be killed in order to be rid of Notorious B.I.G. In the end, it was dumped into the ocean as the protagonists were unable to kill it.


 * Possession: Notorious B.I.G. seems to have no body after the death of its user, so it slowly infects anyone that has touched the remains of its user and eats away at flesh in order to grow a monstrous body. Like Talking Head, it is capable of controlling those it has infected to a certain extent, such as making Giorno write its thoughts with the hand it infected. Once a body has been created, it continues infecting others in order to increase its size, even able to infect nonliving objects and stands and grow by absorbing their powers, thus making it immune to physical attacks. However, objects that have been softened by Spice Girl are incapable of been devoured due to their elastic nature.


 * Life Devourer: One of the biggest aspects about Notorious B.I.G. was that it is blind and tracks its prey via motion sensing, attacking the fastest speeding object within range. This proves a major disadvantage as one can distract Notorious B.I.G. through running water, a clock or spring objects. This secures its prison in the ocean, where it mindlessly attacks waves and upcoming boats to no avail.
