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.

==Abilities==
As it only needs one stab to completely disable its victims, Soft Machine's puzzling ability makes it particularly effective in an ambush. The Stand's range, however, is notably lacking, making it ill-equipped to fight out in the open.<ref name="veller"/> Its only notable feature is that it is equipped with a short rapier that can act like a normal weapon if need be. With its sword, Soft Machine managed to scratch Moody Blues's hand.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 460}}</ref>

Deflated people and objects have 'air' visibly escape from the puncture in their bodies and eventually become deflated, limp and rubbery, akin to a condom (as described by Bucciarati).<ref name=":0" /> Those effectedaffected by the Stand will also have their clothes deflated in a similar fashion and will be rendered unconscious due to asphyxia.<ref name="veller"/> Victims are kept alive, but will not regain consciousness until the effects of the ability are cancelled.<ref name=":0" />
 
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 its user to hide between the two layers and stay undetected.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 461}}</ref>
