Foo Fighters (フー・ファイターズ, Fū Faitāzu) est un Stand figurant dans Stone Ocean.
Foo Fighters est un Stand qui a été inséré dans un banc de plancton, leur donnant une intelligence commune. Adoptant une forme humanoïde et se donnant le nom de "Foo Fighters", il devient l'allié de Jolyne Cujoh.
Foo Fighters prend deux apparences au fil de l'histoire. Lorsqu'il est révélé pour la première fois, Foo Fighters ressemble à un grand robot humanoïde de couleur sombre et à la carrure fine. Il possède alors une tête allongée verticalement avec une plaque osseuse séparant verticalement la droite et la gauche du visage de F.F., ont voit d'ailleurs plusieurs dents gravés sur la plaque. Le visage et les épaules de Foo Fighters sont couvertes partiellement par des bandes larges de couleur clair, entourant notamment les yeux.
Ses avant-bras ressemblent à des os et ses jambes ressemblent à un mélange de tiges osseuses, joints en pivots et de membres sombres.
Après son arc introductif, Foo Fighters possède le corps de la prisonnière Atroe.
Alors que F.F. se développe une personnalité propre et s'attache à Jolyne, il prend une apparence plus humaine au point qu'il ressemble à Atroe, bien qu'il garde sa couleur sombre.
Dans le manga couleur, Foo Fighters est noir et gris avec des bandes jaunes.
Palettes
Les palettes changent souvent entre les médias. L'information ci-dessous ne devrait pas être considérée comme canonique.
Whitesnake est le responsable de la création de F.F. Au départ, Foo Fighters est doué d'intellect et d'un instinct de survie mais pas de souvenir ou de morale. Ainsi, il obéit fidèlement aux ordres de Whitesnake de garder des disques Stand pour lui, sous menace de se faire enlever son propre disque. Cependant Jolyne Cujoh gagne Foo Fighters à sa cause en l'épargnant et F.F. accepte donc de devenir son allié.
F.F. a très peur de perdre son intellect et ses souvenirs car il considère que c'est cela qui le définit.
Abilities
Foo Fighters is a unique fusion of plankton colony and Stand. It is able in close combat and possesses a set of useful abilities. At a physical level, Foo Fighters is more than a match for the power type Stone Free, being able to deflect its punches and overpower it.[1] Although Foo Fighters is particularly resilient to physical attacks, it is very dependent on a constant water supply to keep the colony in water and breaks down the moment it is dehydrated.[2]
Plankton Colony Form
Foo Fighters' peculiar nature as a sentient colony of plankton gives it several abilities.
First and foremost, Foo Fighters' nature means that it has no physical weakness. There is no limb to hurt or vital point to strike in order to kill it and thus it is impervious to conventional attacks. Only by damaging the whole colony can Foo Fighters be threatened. Although fragile individually, the colony can muster enough strength to pry open an automatic door.[3]
As a hive mind, Foo Fighters is able to produce sub-bodies by splitting the colony into several like-minded but independent parts.[2][4] This ability allows Foo Fighters to effectively fight multiple opponents and generally act stealthily in the middle of battle. Even if a large majority of the plankton dies, only one needs to survive in order for Foo Fighters to be able to regenerate.[5] As long as there is water, the plankton colony can rapidly multiply,[4] creating a new part of Foo Fighters rapidly and giving it great regeneration ability. With enough water, Foo Fighters can even cover a whole room and use its mass to attack.[6]
It also means that ordinary humans can see the body.[7]
On the other hand, Foo Fighters is extremely susceptible to dehydration. If its moisture is sucked away by dry matter, the plankton colony rapidly dies and it will disappear. Foo Fighters thus needs constant access to water in order to survive.[6]
Body Invasion
By infiltrating someone's body, Foo Fighters can take over their consciousness and have access to their memories.[2] That way, it can wear their skin as a disguise to infiltrate human society. It took over the corpse of Atroe and spends the rest of story impersonating her. It can also shape its host to its liking[8] and contort itself beyond what a human can do.[9]
The parasitism allows Foo Fighters to survive without a constant intake of water, but it reduces its agility. Moreover it becomes susceptible to bleeding out and losing the moisture anyway.[10]
Water Control
Foo Fighters can manipulate water to some extent, with enough control to create a square mirror out of one third of a cup of water.[11]
Plankton Shot
Inside a host, Foo Fighters can shoot small parts of itself as if it was using a gun (this is later shown to incorporate pistol parts into its hand).[12] The bits of plankton colony can invade someone's body and take control of it.[13] The shots have enough strength to pierce through skin.[14]
Wound Sealing
The plankton can help seal wounds, preventing someone from bleeding out and potentially saving them from dying.[15]

Trivia
Araki tried to draw something insectoid or reptilian. He thinks it looks more like a chameleon, a mutant, or a space alien than a microscopic organism.[16]
Araki also mentions that the design might be an alternate version of Hierophant Green.[16]
