Iggy or Iggi in the English localization, appears as a playable character in the Capcom games. He was part of the original roster in JoJo's Venture, and is an Active Stand user, wielding The Fool.
Command List & Gameplay
Iggy appears as one of the most unusual playable characters in the roster. Without his Stand active, many attacks are ineffective against him due to his small hitbox. However, this is almost never a surefire defense mechanism and players are usually forced to take to the offensive using charge attacks.
Most of Iggy's attacks consist of him jumping, barking and biting when without the Stand. When The Fool is activated, Iggy's attacks change to strong versions of punches and dash attacks done by The Fool. His Sand Magic attack and floating ability are also useful for getting Iggy out of tight spots.
Story Mode
Iggy's Story Mode follows his adventure as he reluctantly accompanies the Joestar Group in Egypt.

One day, Avdol met Iggy, a stray dog from New York with incredible talents.
Avdol: This dog can wield a Stand! He might be a great help to us...
Iggy has joined Jotaro and company on their quest to defeat DIO.
Jotaro: Is that... our new comrade!?
Kakyoin: It can't be...!
Polnareff: Hey! Are you saying that this DOG is joining us in our fight!?
Avdol: Don't get any closer! You don't know what you're getting yourself into!
Polnareff: Wahhh! Why, you! I'll punish you!
Iggy: Grrrrrr! (You must be... immortal!)
DIO: Guh... Guh... die like the dog you are!!
Iggy: Gaaaahh! (Embrace oblivion!)
DIO: No... It can't be!... How could I lose? DIO cannot be beaten!!
Iggy: Guh... Guh...
Polnareff: Iggy... You've done it! It's finally over!
After Iggy defeats DIO, he returns to New York.
Iggy: Fuwaaa... (yawn)
He becomes the emperor of stray dogs once again...
...and lives a luxurious and peaceful life with his girlfriend...
...But is this really the end?
(氷の鳥 Kōri no Tori)
The Joestar group hires an informant to find DIO's mansion. As Iggy is wandering through town, he watches as the informant is crushed by a giant icicle in front of the building he seeks. The culprit is a Stand-using bird named Pet Shop, wielder of the ice Stand Horus. Despite Iggy's better judgement, he engages the bird knowing it cannot let him get away. After the battle, Iggy gloats over his victory but realizes it means an end to his carefree life without battle. For now, Iggy decides to tell the group where DIO's mansion is, as an act of revenge against his foe.
Secret Factor: I- I'll just hide in here for a while... (し、しばらくここに隠れていよう)

Trivia
- Iggy has an unused sprite that is likely related to the "Sand Storm" super, parodying Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu (Raging Demon) from Street Fighter Series. The kanji (犬) means "Dog" in Japanese, referencing the "Heaven" kanji (天) associated with Akuma.
