Scary Monsters
Scary Monsters (スケアリー・モンスターズ) is a stand ability featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run. It is named after the David Bowie album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). [1]

Appearance/Personality
A visible representation of Dr. Ferdinand's stand is never shown in canon. Because of this, it might be possible that Scary Monsters is just an ability-granting Stand without a physical form like Khnum or Love Deluxe.
Powers
Infection: The only power that Scary Monsters demonstrated was to infect other living beings with a dinosaur virus which also cause them to fall under the direct orders of Dr. Ferdinand. Each infected person or animal has a different look and capabilities as well as the ability to infect others with the dino-virus by biting ot scratching them.
The perfect bodyguards: Not only are the dinosaur capable of spreading the infection, but they also possess the abilities of a real dinosaur: regardless of their size, they are stronger and faster than any other living animal and their counter capabilities are unmatchable. They cannot see a target if it stands still, but are able to track down the smell of a prey wet by their own urines.
- Dr. Ferdinand is unable to use his Stand to infect his body and become a dinosaur himself, probably because of his deep hate towards these creatues. He can however exploit his subordinates' power to travel, either by riding them or by getting swallowed and lying into the body of one of the dinosaurs.
- His Stand seem to have no limits in terms of range or number of individuals infected. However, should Dr. Ferdinand injure himself severly, his powers will disappear and all dinosaurs will revert to their original form.
- For some reason, the corpse parts interfere with Scary Monsters' power, preventing the owner of these parts to fully transform into a dinosaur.
