Goo Goo Dolls
Goo Goo Dolls (グーグー・ドールズ, Gūgū Dōruzu) is the Stand of Gwess, featured in the sixth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stone Ocean.
Goo Goo Dolls is a small humanoid Stand whose power is to instantly shrink its victims and keep them tiny as long as they don't get too far from Gwess.
Appearance
Goo Goo Dolls manifests as a tiny, robotic, humanoid Stand, about as tall as a mouse. Goo Goo Dolls' body is segmented, with mechanical joints and it has a cylindrical head covered in thorns, with cross-patterned eyes. The Stand bears a set of sharp teeth from a loosely stitched jaw, which keeps its mouth agape. Goo Goo Dolls' fingers are also very sharp, capable of shredding its victims.
The design of Goo Goo Dolls is based on a mummified monkey.[1]
Color Schemes
Personality
Goo Goo Dolls displays a feral personality, being able to mutter the sound "Goo" (グー) but otherwise attacking its enemies with reckless abandon. It may have some cunning as it is stated to take advantage of its power in a fight.[2]
Abilities
Goo Goo Dolls is very weak due to its reduced size and isn't suited to fight other Stand users, but its power to shrink people is perfectly suited to Gwess' habit of bullying those weaker than her and its sharp claws are enough to tear shrunken people apart.
Goo Goo Dolls typically hides near a shrunken victim, somehow being able to even hide in the same animal skins Gwess gives to her "pets" and will automatically attack them if they disobey Gwess' orders.[2]
Size Reduction
Goo Goo Dolls has the ability to reduce the size of anyone within its range.[3] It is hinted that it will work only on those targeted by Gwess' desire for friendship and control.[4]
When in range, Goo Goo Dolls can instantly shrink its victim to the size of a mouse, the size reduction is instantaneous and unnoticeable at first by the victim.[3] On the other side, once a shrunken victim goes far enough from Gwess, they will grow back continuously at a slower pace,[5] though it has been shown that Gwess could also make her victims grow back instantly.
Gwess typically uses this power to get herself makeshift pets that she hides inside animal skins and plays with.[6]
