Tower of Gray/fr

"You could be one inch away, pointing at me with ten guns... The ten bullets wouldn't even touch my Stand!"

- Gray Fly about Tower of Gray's speed, Chapter 123

Tower of Gray (タワー・オブ・グレー（灰の塔）) is the Stand of Gray Fly featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders. It takes the form of a giant stag with the ability to move at incredibly fast speeds and tear out the tongues of its victims.

Appearance
Tower of Gray appears as a large, dark about the size of one's hand with intricate patterns on its shell. A hidden, toothed, secondary jaw can spring out from its mouth. Despite having the general form of a beetle, it also possesses teeth in its mouth.

Tower of Gray is generally portrayed as being a red-eyed bug with a jet black shell, and blue patterns.

Résumé
Le mode opératoire de Tower of Gray consiste en l'utilisation de sa vitesse et de sa seconde bouche afin d'arracher la langue de son adversaire, mais il ne montre aucune personnalité propre et adopte celle de son manieur.

La spécificité de Tower of Gray est de faire passer ses attaques pour des accidents. Muhammad Avdol ajoute qu'il est responsable de nombreux incendies et accidents d'avions ou de trains, et plus récemment un accident en Angleterre qui à fait dans les 300 morts.

Il représente la carte de tarot qui symbolise l’interruption d'un voyage par quelque chose d'inattendu et chaotique.

Abilities
Tower of Gray is a small and fragile Stand. However, it is also incredibly fast and nimble, and its secondary jaw grants it unsuspected destructive power.


 * Secondary Jaw: Its defining feature is its long, extendable stinger, referred to as the "Tower Needle", which protrudes from its mouth. It has enough force to tear flesh apart or pierce its way right through. Combined with its great speed, Tower of Gray is capable of killing multiple people in a very short amount of time and even go through the head of a person with ease.


 * High Speed: Perhaps one of its greatest traits is its amazing speed; Tower of Gray is able to easily outmaneuver very fast Stands, such as Star Platinum and even Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash at close range. Its speed is so incredible that, according to Gray Fly, Tower of Gray could have several guns shooting at it at the same time in point-blank range and it would still escape unscathed. Tower of Gray has great flight control, as it's able to write words in cursive while flying and can navigate its way through Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash multiple times unharmed. However, it cannot dodge something it doesn't see coming and is vulnerable to sneak attacks.

Trivia

 * Araki chose to start off with the less popular tarot cards for the enemies. He was inspired to create Tower of Gray after imagining how annoying it'd be if an insect was trapped inside of an airplane mid-flight.
 * The plane crash that Tower of Gray is said to have caused in England may be a reference to the Pan Am Flight 103 disaster, in which a plane flying over Britain was bombed and crashed into the ground, killing 270 people. The attack happened in 1988, the year the events of Stardust Crusaders take place.
