Death Thirteen wears a large, dark cloak with metallic shoulder pads attached to it. The collar of the shoulder pads is comprised of three stacked rings. The bottom ring has an open front from which a rectangle with a fishnet pattern travels down the cloak, ending with rounded corners and in a pattern of slim light and dark triangles arranged horizontally. Only Death Thirteen's arms, which are entirely metallic, emerge from the cloak. Death Thirteen wields a massive scythe with a metallic pole.

The cloak worn by Death Thirteen is deceiving as Death Thirteen actually has no body underneath. The Stand is comprised ofcomprises only its head, shoulders, and arms.<ref name=":4">{{Ch|Chapter 173}}</ref>

As an extension of Mannish Boy's mind, Death Thirteen has a vulgar and sadistic personality, delighting in the suffering of those who fall into its dream world. It enjoys insulting them and toying with them before killing them with its scythe, such as when it makes [[Noriaki Kakyoin]] eat eyeballs<ref name=":1">{{Ch|Chapter 170}}</ref> or when it traps the rest of the [[Joestar Group]] with their own body parts and apparel.<ref name=":3">{{Ch|Chapter 172}}</ref> Because no Stand Useruser trapped in its dream world can use their Stands, Death Thirteen is supremely confident in its ability to eliminate the Joestar Group.<ref name=":1" />

It represents the [[Tarot Cards|tarot card]] [[Death]], which symbolizes self-awareness and transformation.<ref>[[JoJo6251JoJo 6251]]</ref>

This ability comes in two parts. When anything alive (human or otherwise) falls asleep near Mannish Boy, Death Thirteen's Useruser, they are drawn into Death Thirteen's dream world, which appears as a massive carnival, complete with Ferris wheels and roller coasters.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 168}}</ref>

Death Thirteen has full control over this dream world. It is able to make death machines out of mechanical items, summon objects out of nothing, manipulate Polnareff's hair or Joseph's hand, basically shaping everything as it sees fit.<ref name=":3" /> However, the most redoubtable property of this dream world is that Stand Usersusers cannot summon their Stand inside the dream world and are defenseless.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 169}}</ref> Death Thirteen explains that because Stands are made of spiritual energy, during their sleep, their spirits are "off-guard" and cannot defend themselves, thus Users cannot conjure Stands.<ref name=":3" /> However, someone who falls asleep (or unconscious) with their Stand active beforehand will be able to summon the Stand inside the dream world.<ref name=":4" />

*'''Stage Gimmick''': [[Death Thirteen]] occasionally appears and attacks the players. The Stand has a health bar of its own, and can thus be attacked and temporarily banished by combatants.

*His repeated phrase "Lali-ho" is inpossibly a reference to the original name of the [https://dragon-quest.org/wiki/Snooze sleep spell] in the {{W|Dragon Quest}} series, itself a reference to the rallying cry of ''{{W|The_Impossibles_(TV_series)|The Impossibles}}''. The spell would leave the target helpless for several turns, even while being killed.
