The unnamed Parrot's Stand is the Stand of the Parrot, main antagonist of Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, a spinoff manga of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
The Stand's legs are also fully mechanical in appearance, with them starting from the center of one of the reels. These legs have another reels attached at where a knee joint would be, and they connect to large mechanical talons (similar to that of a large predatory bird)[1]
The Parrot's Stan appears to use punched cards as its primary form of attack. These punched cards are released from the reels on the body of the Stand. They are then punched and inserted into the target, before bursting out of their body through the mouth, ears, and other holes. Their eyes also gain a dimpled texture, with multiple holes appearing in them.
These Punched Cards force the enemy to re-experience past events, such as when it was used on Hol Horse he began to relive his confrontation with Dio. These past events even force people to reenact the event, such as Hol Horse moving to shoot as he did in his confrontation with DIO.[2] This can even be done to those who have not lived through the said past event, as Hiraoka was forced to relive the experience of Wilson Phillips, which caused him to crash his car.[3]

Polpo's Lighter (弓と矢, Yumi to Ya) (more generally the Lighter (矢, Ya)) is a prominent item introduced in the fifth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Vento Aureo. The lighter acts as an important item in Passione, as the lighter and it's subsequent tests are related to how one is able to join the organization.
The Lighter is a small ornate manual striker. It is silver, with several patterns running along the surface of the lighter. The main body most likely also contains a large area for fuel to be stored, as it is easily able to stay lit for 24 hours. The head of the lighter has a small insignia with the letters POL layered on top of each other on both sides. The top of the lighter has a small cap, which when pulled to the side, acts as the striker for the lighter. This cap also has the insignia on it. The part of the lighter itself which can release the flame is small and pointed. When lit, this small opening produces a thin orange flame.
The Lighter came into Polpo's possession at an undetermined time, though he most likely got the lighter around the time of becoming Capo, or when he gained his Stand Black Sabbath. The Lighter was used by Polpo for his test, if which completed would allow someone to join Passione. While most likely not the only way for someone to join Pasione, the Lighter and it's subsequent test were used to induct many people, including the entirety of Team Bucciarati.
After carefully bringing the Lighter back to his middle school, avoiding several students and staff along the way, Giorno places the lighter within a loaf of bread to keep it still. He surrounds the lighter with several books as well to secure the flame. However, Koichi manages to find Giorno's dorm and attempts to break in in order to get his passport back, forcing Giorno to hide outside the window. In an effort to keep Koichi from discovering and putting out the lighter, he transforms his ceiling light into a snake, which burns itself trying to grab the lighter. Luckily enough, Koichi actually finds his passport, allowing Giorno to swiftly steal the lighter and escape while he was distracted.
After his encounter with Koichi, Giorno brings the lighter out into his school courtyard, where the flame is accidentally put out by the janitor. As Giorno tries to figure out what to do, the janitor relights the lighter for him, causing him to notice the oddity of the test, as he beleives it is pointless to have a test of trust in which someone can relight the lighter without someone knowing. However, once the lighter is re-lit, the true nature of the lighter and it's test are revealed. Polpo's Stand Black Sabbath appears. It attacks the janitor for having re-lit the lighter, testing him by pulling his soul out of his body, and stabbing his soul with the Stand Arrow. As the janitor was unworthy of possessing a Stand, he perishes without injury. Afterwards, it turns it's attention to Giorno for having seen the lighter be re-lit, and a battle ensues between Giorno, Black Sabbath, and eventually Koichi.
After Giorno's victory and the defeat of Black Sabbath, Giorno returns to the prison with the lighter. After returning the relit lighter, Polpo accepts Giorno into Passione, wondering to himself if Giorno gained a Stand from Black Sabbath, but he beleives that no matter what he will be a good tool for Passione. After Polpo's murder by Giorno, the wherabouts of the lighter are not mentioned, and whether it still exists after the destruction of Black Sabbath is unknown.
Polpo's Lighter itself has a similar functionality to most lighters, as it is able to produce a flame from the ignition of the fuel inside. Unlike most standard lighters though, the Lighter is able to stay lit for an extremely long time, without the user holding down a button or switch that releases gas. The user does need to ignite the fuel with the manual striker, but the lighter seems to constantly release the fuel (since after it's reignition by the janitor, it created a large flame from a large amount of gas being released after it was put out).
The Lighter and Black Sabbath display a strong connection with each other, as Black Sabbath is able to tell when the lighter is put out or re-lit. It is also able to figure out who re-lit the lighter, or find people in the general area who observed the re-lighting of the lighter. Black Sabbath uses this connection to the Lighter to assault inductees of Passione with the Stand Arrow.
It is equally likely that the Lighter is actually apart of Black Sabbath, and that it is an item that came into existence along with the Stand to act as it's trigger for activation. This is primarily due to the fact that the lighter only showed up after Polpo chewed on his fingers, which could be an indication of the lighter being summoned by Polpo
