Black Sabbath is an automated Stand that follows simple and direct preset commands. As such, it is characterized by its long-range strength, lack of damage transfer (to an extent that Polpo was unaware that [[Giorno Giovanna]] beat Black Sabbath<ref name=":1">{{Ch|Chapter 456}}</ref>), and straightforward way of attacking. A formidable adversary in the shadows, it is nonetheless vulnerable to sunlight. However, evenEven if it is beaten, Black Sabbath can be summoned back.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 454}}</ref>

For undisclosed reasons, Black Sabbath is linked to Polpo's test and his [[Minor Items#Polpo's Lighter|lighter]]. When someone holding the lighter puts it out but then reignites it, Black Sabbath materializes within the shadows created by the lights of the flames and attacks all witnesses. It then automatically seeks to impale the souls of those present with the [[Arrow]] in its mouth to awaken a possible Stand ability, even if they already have one.<ref name=":0" /> Polpo uses this Stand to weed out weaker recruits and only keep those with a Stand.<ref name=":1" /> Those who pass the original lighter test and are therefore never given the opportunity to gain a Stand still pass, but are only linked to less combative areas such as intelligence teams or drug-running.

At some point, either via one of the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrows]] acquired by [[Diavolo]] or via natural talent, the gangster [[Polpo]] developed Black Sabbath as his [[Stand]]. Seeing the Stand's potential, Polpo chose to use the Stand as an initiation test for new recruits to the gang, weeding out unworthy gang members with an Arrow stored within its mouth. Polpo quickly became the primary capo responsible for matters relating to Stand abilities,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 470}}</ref> and Black Sabbath would eventually bestow most of [[Team Bucciarati]] with their own Stands.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 448472}}</ref><ref>{{Ch|Chapter 468508}}</ref><ref>{{Ch|Chapter 517}}</ref>
