Killer Queen (キラー・クイーン, Kirā Kuīn) is the Stand of Yoshikage Kira, featured in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.
Killer Queen is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Kira's, or slightly more muscular; light in color overall.
Its crown is flat, while two sharp, triangular shapes resembling a cat's ears stand either side of the top of its head. Its eyes comprise cat-like vertical pupils in front of generally light-colored sclera. It has no nose. With thin lips, its mouth is perpetually closed.
Its wears dark, studded, leather-like forearm-length gloves, mirrored in style by a garter belt-like band at its waist and ankle-height footwear. Its thumbs are additionally bandaged in white. Four short spikes line the top of its back.
Its shoulders, the back of its hands, belt buckle, a plate hanging in front of its crotch, both sides of its ankles and the top of its feet all bear the emblem of a skull with ears resembling its own; in varying sizes and external decoration.
Later, the space behind its stomach is revealed to be hollow and suitable for storing an object.
Killer Queen's semi-autonomous secondary bomb, Sheer Heart Attack, speaks phrases to its targets including "Look this way".
Kira is able to speak through Killer Queen, as he does to Rohan while using Bites the Dust.
Killer Queen shows no other evidence of consciousness.
Killer Queen is a short-range humanoid Stand of average to above-average speed and melee attacking power. Its unique ability involves planting or targeting up to three kinds of bombs, usually capable of completely consuming their targets; though their explosions are not normally harmful to more than one target, nor perceptible to non-Stand users. The main drawback is that only one bomb can be active (and only from one of the following bomb types).
By touch, Killer Queen may charge any object as a bomb. If a charged object is touched, the charge travels from that object into the whole of a target before exploding and (usually) destroying it completely. Kira may also detonate this bomb at any previous point.

Sheer Heart Attack (シアーハートアタック, Shiā Hāto Atakku) is Killer Queen's second type of bomb, featured primarily in the arc Sheer Heart Attack.
In appearance, it is as a sphere, plated, with a superficial, removable knob on its top; standing on the treads of a tank at its sides; embedded in front by a cat-skull similar to those appearing on Killer Queen's body, with the addition of a downward dagger on the forehead, an articulate jaw, and a short spike as a nose.
This bomb detaches from Killer Queen's left hand, of which it is part. It is completely autonomous, with an unlimited range. It seeks out whatever the warmest thing in the vicinity is, then induces an explosion there, with a power proportional to the heat of the target. The body of Sheer Heart Attack is totally indestructible (withstanding countless blows from Jotaro's Star Platinum). As an autonomous fighter, it has no special weaknesses. As part of Killer Queen's hand, any external effects ascribed to it are transferred to Kira's hand.

Killer Queen Bites the Dust (キラー・クイーン バイツァ・ダスト, Kirā Kuīn Baitsa Dasuto), more simply known as just "Bite the Dust" (バイツァ・ダスト (負けて死ね), Baitsa Dasuto (Ma kete Shi ne), literally "Lose and Die"), is Killer Queen's third type of bomb; featured in primarily in the late arc Another One Bites the Dust.
Kira is granted this ability when Yoshihiro Kira's Stand-creating Arrow pierces him a second time.
This bomb appears as a miniaturized form of Killer Queen. In the only example shown, it is planted on Hayato Kawajiri. When someone interrogates Hayato about Kira, the bomb enters their field of vision, along with their eye; before inducing an all-consuming internal explosion.
Secondly, until Kira finds out who the bomb killed, he lets a temporal loop occur; from one hour to day earlier. Even if the victim doesn't interrogate Hayato on this occasion, Bite the Dust will still kill them at the time recorded before. Only when Kira is confident about who died will he let time flow normally.
It is possible that Bites the Dust has some precognitive powers, as when Rohan used his Heaven's Door in Hayato he saw things that had not yet occurred. Though it is also possible (and more probable) that Hayato had experienced the day once before already and thus it was written in his memories.[citation needed]
If Kira wishes to use Killer Queen, since he cannot maintain more than one potential bomb at a time, he must recall Bites the Dust. Hayato discovers that Bites the Dust only works on non-Stand users, such that Kira can only tell a non-Stand user his secrets to enable the ability.[1]
Finally, Kira carries Stray Cat in an opening in the stomach of Killer Queen. With Killer Queen's Primary Bomb, charging Stray Cat's condensed air bubbles, Kira may create invisible, speedy projectile air bubble bombs. Although he cannot see these bombs, he is skilled in determining their trajectory using basic mathematical skills.
This section includes spoilers for Part VIII.
In Part VIII: JoJolion, Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion) is revealed to possess an unnamed Stand of an identical appearance and similar abilities to Killer Queen.
This Stand creates bubbles similar to those generated by Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion) with Soft & Wet, which explode on contact with their target (in an apparent reference to the combined ability of Killer Queen and Stray Cat).
