Purple Haze


 * For this Stand's novel-exclusive evolved form, see Purple Haze Distortion.

Purple Haze (パープル・ヘイズ) is the Stand of Pannacotta Fugo, featured in Part V: Golden Wind.

Purple Haze also features centrally along with Fugo in two novels; Golden Heart, Golden Ring and Purple Haze Feedback.

Appearance
Purple Haze is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Fugo's. Its face and body are patterned by horizontal lozenges of alternating shade.

Its lips are loosely stitched together, and its head is covered by a transparent visor in the approximate shape of a beak.

Personality
Purple Haze has a hair-trigger temper, and is difficult for even its user to control. Despite its tendency to drool uncontrollably, it is also a "neat freak" and will obsessively clean the very drool off itself until it bruises its own arm. It is stated that its temper, cleanliness, and viral desire and ability to "clean" everything is similar to Fugo's own personality.

Ability
Viral Infection: Purple Haze is an unstable Stand that contains a deadly, flesh eating virus in each of the three bulbs on each of its hands. When a bulb breaks, the virus is released and surrounds Purple Haze. Anything that enters its range is infected, and an adult human being will melt into nothing within 30 seconds. The range of the virus is not large, because the virus is weakened by sunlight and only reaches a few meters. In the case its punch is stopped, it can release a bulb from its hand like a pressurized gun. The virus can not disassociate between friend or foe, and kills anyone that becomes infected. Anything unlucky enough to face Purple Haze face to face is (generally) doomed to die.

Trivia

 * According to JOJOVELLER, its design is based on Roman armor.
 * Due to Gold Experience producing antibodies, Giorno was and continues to be the only person to survive Purple Haze's virus and to be immune to it as well as seen in GioGio's Bizarre Adventure 2: Golden Heart, Golden Ring.
 * Araki stated that he made Purple Haze too powerfull, so he had to abandon him and Fugo halfway through the story.
