Scary Monsters (スケアリー・モンスターズ, Sukearī Monsutāsu) is the Stand of Dr. Ferdinand featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

After Ferdinand's defeat, possession of the stand switches to Diego Brando through the power of Saint's Left Eye.

Appearance/Personality

Transforming into the dinosaur Deinonychus; Diego gains stripes spelling out "DIO" all over his body. His hair turns into spikes that end in round, ball-shaped tips on the back of his head. Traces of his checkered shirt are still visible on his chest.

After being under the influence of the Stand for a while, Diego is able to turn into a more human-shaped form while still retaining sharp teeth, claws, dinosaur legs and a tail, with a deranged, mad expression on his face.

As the Stand is bound to Diego's body, its appearance is based on the form he takes.

Abilities

Morph: Unlike Ferdinand, Diego is capable of changing his body from that of a human to that of a half-dinosaur, fully fledged or partial form of it. While in his morph status he has an increased stamina, strength, speed and vision along with being capable of eating anything. It far surpasses human limits, but without the weakness to sunlight.
Fossilize: Introduced later in the story, Diego demonstrates the ability to not only turn other beings into dinosaurs but, if he wishes to do so, alter them into a hardened dormant state much like a fossil. The ability can be used a variety of ways, from fusing a being into a structure like a rock or tree as a camouflage^[1] (not unlike the dormant state of the Pillar Men) to shaping the fossilized being into something more creative like candle holders.

Hand to Hand: Perhaps the most curious and unique ability of Dio's power. Being bound to his body, Scary Monsters allows him to fight in first person against other Stands and physically damage them, whereas normally Stands can be damaged only by other Stands.
