Snake Eater

**Snake Eater** (スネーク・イアター Suneeku Iataa) is the Stand of a major ally in JoJazo, Bangtan Boy-Scout.

Snake Eater is one of the few Stands in existence that is worn, making it a suit Stand.

## Appearance

While it can be used by Bangtan without being summoned (making it a phenomenon most of the time), when summoned, it takes the form of a fully black and white tuxedo - including white gloves and shoes. Additionally, before being able to control it fully with the help Paramore ACT 3, it used to cause Bangtan's eyes to turn into ink and leak ink, almost resembling tears.

## Personality

While in control, Snake Eater only has two objectives: Defeat the one it considers the foe, and protect allies. Having just two objectives make it very effective and efficient, however, this does make it very dangerous, as it cares not for bystanders getting hurt, not for giving away their location, or even cooperating with his allies (he just has to protect them). This is most likely why Bangtan tries to supress the stand's full potential as much as possible.

## Abilities

Though used for combative purposes, the stand can't actually fight itself as it has very weak physical capabilities. However, it's persistence is outstanding and it's even fully resistant to quick, sharp attacks, like being shot or stabbed - it simply deflects it.

### Animal Manipulation

Snake Eater, when not used at full calibre, allows its user to manipulate animals, including bugs, near him (up to around 5m) into protecting him and his allies. He can't control specifically how they do it, all he can do is influence them into doing their best to protect, even if it means risking their own lives.

This ability has been used to create walls of ants that block bullets, or have dogs drag him and his friends away from a dangerous area.

### Animal Generation

If Bangtan is ever put to sleep/made unconscious by someone other than himself (so not when he's just going to bed), Snake Eater fully summons. This won't happen if there is no foe that Bangtan is aware of. When summoned, it takes control of his movements and actions, as well as granting him a new ability - animal generation. Snake Eater can create an animal that appears out of its skin that has been within 10m of Snake Eater since its activation, even if it couldn't see them and can't see them anymore. These replicas appear in black & white for some unknown reason. Though Snake Eater has full control over these copies, it'll only ever use them for one of the two objectives Snake Eater has.

The limit to how many he can make is bound by his own body mass. Snake Eater can only make a maximum amount of copies who's collective mass is less than or equal to Bangtan's own mass. This means that, going by average weight, he'd be able to produce over four million wasps. However, it does take a second to generate about 20 of any animal, so it would take a while to actually produce four million wasps, but it's still a possibility.

In addition, the animals can travel any distance from it once summoned, they're destroyed when Snake Eater is deactivated, and Snake Eater senses what they sense, often relaying information to the group in a monotone voice after surveying with an animal.

The stand is deactivated when who it considers the enemy (or enemies) is beaten. From then on, Bangtan will sleep for exactly 8 hours and can't be woken up by any methods.

Once effected by the power of Paramore ACT 3, Bangtan is able to take control of Snake Eater at full calibre, making him one of Josefa Alejo's deadliest allies.

## Trivia

* Snake Eater is the only stand made for JoJazo that wasn't drawn by me. Instead, I used the same character creator I used to make Bangtan. Specifically, this one. Other than this, all other stands were drawn by me.
* It being resistant to quick, sharp attacks is a reference to how Bangtan's name means Bulletproof in Korean.
