This ability's most featured use is converting inorganic objects into living organisms, be it an animal or a plant. For instance, Gold Experience can transform a piece of luggage into a frog[2] or a lighter into a rose.[3] The lifeforms can persist for a long time and even a significant distance from Giorno. It can also freely cancel this effect and return an object to its original inorganic state.
The speed of the transformation varies wildly, depending on the desired form: an object morphing into a plant is always shown to be fast, but animals generally take more time. Thus, transforming parts of a helicopter into a tree is nearly instantaneous and violent enough that the branches can burst through metal,[4] but transforming a rubber lifesaver into a fish takes a noticeable amount of time.[5] Giorno has also instantaneously transformed drops of his blood into a swarm of ants,[6] suggesting that the transformation time is proportional to the complexity of the life form he creates.
Giorno frequently produces small life forms (frogs, snakes, flies) and plants of which he has no control. Thus, when he creates an animal, he has to guess what the animal is likely to do in order to take advantage of it. Since the animals do not always act the way he predicts, like when a snake accidentally burns itself on a lighter, using them can prove detrimental.[7] Notably, however, life forms created from parts of a whole, such as someone’s tooth or debris from a statue, will naturally make their way back to whatever it came from, such as when Giorno transformed Narancia’s shoe into a fly so that he could be tracked.[8] If the environment is absolutely unsuitable for life, such as when White Album decreased the temperature of the environment to around -100 °C, then Giorno cannot transform objects into lifeforms.
The transformation was originally portrayed similarly to a fetus growing into an organism,
[2] but was eventually finalized as an object molding into Giorno's desired life form.
