*Hierophant Green: A medium-sized, lime-green humanoid figure Stand with a gel-like body composition. It does not perform melee attacks, instead using its abilities and body to its advantage.
**Coiled Body: Hierophant Green's body looks natural, but it's composed of interconnected membranes that can stretch and unwind the Stand's body. This also means that damage can be avoided by simply unraveling its own body since it does not hurt Kakyoin if it does so.
***Tentacles: Hierophant Green can extend tentacles from its membranes as a means to detect movement, creating a large web that extends up to twenty meters across. If an object comes into contact with a tentacle, its location is immediately given away to Kakyoin. These tentacles are also capable of identifying stands and were even able to identify Steely Dan's stand, The Lovers, out of a crowd of its copies.
***Marionette Control: Hierophant Green's tentacles can enter another person's body and control them from the inside out. This also protects Hierophant Green and leaves the victim as a meat shield of sorts.
**Emerald Splash: Hierophant Green's main ability. Energy is stored into the palms of its hands, then released as small, emerald shards which shoot out in multiple directions, covering a wide radius. This can alternatively be focused into a smaller radius when necessary. The shards are sharp enough to damage sturdy objects and easily pierce through flesh. Kakyoin can also set up any of Hierophant Green's tentacles to release an emerald splash towards an enemy that touches them.
