## Stand Stats

"Do not worry, fearless blue leader! Ham Ham roll together! Ham Ham strong! HAM HAM STRONG IN NUMBERS!" - Hamster Dance

Hamster Dance (alias Ham Ham) is a userless Stand created by the Escalator from a hamster and a member of the Party Animals.

## Appearence

Hamster Dance resembles five large hamsters. Each hamster consists of two primary colors, one which dominates the body while the other is used for the eyes, nose, claws and feet. Each hamster has large teeth and claws extending a short distance from their mostly circular bodies. The hamsters are: cyan, green, yellow, red and purple.

## Personality

Each member of Hamster Dance has its own mind. Four hamsters (cyan, green, yellow and purple) speak with high pitched voices and often speak in third person under the alias "Ham Ham". Red speaks in a disconcertingly normal voice and appears to be the closest the colony has to a leader, seemingly being more calm and less aggressive than the other members of the colony. Despite this mental difference, Cyan is treated as the true leader of the colony. Hamster Dance, like many of Yogurt's followers, is fanatically loyal to the dog and detests humans, however chooses to disregard Yogurt in his request to keep his "servants" alive, actively attempting to kill October. The members of Hamster Dance are firm allies, having a brotherly love for each other and deeply mourning the loss of a colony component.

## Background

During Yogurt's travels, he encountered a hamster and aided it, gaining its loyalty. The hamster joined the followers of the canine and boarded his Ark, arriving in Japan in pursuit of Heaven. The hamster remained in hiding with Yogurt's animal sanctuary until Yogurt was able to locate the Escalator in within Overlooked Dreams' Dusk Division.

After managing to steal the Escalator and move it to an abandoned dam within Electros, the hamster and a number of animals attempted to use it to reach Heaven. Instead these animals were made into Stands, with the hamster becoming the colony Stand Hamster Dance. As one of the most skilled combatants created by the Escalator, Hamster Dance joined the Party Animals, a group created to fight Stand Users who fought against Yogurt. When it became evident Yogurt would be opposed by his former allies each member of the Party Animals was assigned to fight one of the Babysitters, with Hamster Dance being assigned to fight October due to their Stand being a colony and due to the gang tactics Hamster Dance had developed.

Hamster Dance joined Yogurt and the other Party Animals on Hound's Hologram, confronting the Babysitters. The colony condensed itself down into a single member, Cyan, while they waited to join the fight. Cyan rolled forward and surrounded October, splitting into five and rolling around them in a similar fashion to a motorbike gang. The members of Hamster Dance quickly began to yell out orders to each other and revealed their personalities, collectively deciding to go back on their promise to Yogurt to keep them alive and began to declare they would kill their foe. The Stand activated its ability on October to keep them in the middle of the encirclement. October threw at the Stand, striking most of them before hitting Yellow, who exploded into yellow goo. The remaining hamsters swore vengeance before collectively charging at October, rolling past them. October was able to break the Stand's effect by ice skating, then froze the water beneath the Stand by using "freeze" on the water. Trapped, every hamster bar Red began to panic and revealed their true name and power. Already terrified and soon affected by Soldier, Poet, King targeting them with "fear", the Stand surrendered.

After getting free, Hamster Dance joined the Party Animals and returned to the Ark. With the new Stands dispersing, Hamster Dance made plans and informed Yogurt, leaving with its allies to find a new purpose.

## Ability

Hamster Dance is able to target an individual and badly hamper their movement. When under the Stand's power, the target is treated as if they are in a hamster wheel, and as such while they can run forward it does not lead to them moving forward. The target can still make ground by moving sideways. Other methods to negate the power include ice skating and rolling, however the target is still typically slowed due to the nature of these techniques.
