"He only releases him when he's in serious danger..." - Abbacchio telling Giorno about Pannacotta Fugo's stand, Purple Haze (Pāpuru Heizu, パープル・ヘイズ)
Summary
Purple Haze is the Stand of Pannacotta Fugo, an ally featured in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo. Purple Haze is an unstable Stand that contains a particularly deadly, flesh-eating virus capsules in its hands.
Because of its deadly ability and its potential for indiscriminate destruction, it is undeniably a powerful close-range Stand. This stand also has a shiny, Purple Haze (Black and White).
This stand is a part of the Arrow Stand Pool, in which it has a ~0.7% chance (A-Tier percentage) of obtaining from a Stand Arrow. To obtain the shiny version of this Stand, you need to use a Monochromatic Sphere on the regular version.
Appearance
Purple Haze is a humanoid Stand of height and builds of an average person. Its face and body are patterned by horizontal lozenges of alternating shade, and armor pieces are present on its shoulders, elbows, and knees. It has spikes along its back, and red pinpoint eyes.
The Stand has a long, flowing cape, surrounded by a purple mist. Its lips and appendages are loosely stitched, and its eyes have distinct irises with miotic pupils. Befitting its name, all media featuring Purple Haze portray it as a purple and white Stand, with a checkerboard pattern of a purple and white color scheme covering its torso and legs.
As for its shiny variant, Purple Haze (Black and White), the main difference surrounds the color scheme. While Purple Haze surrounds the main color scheme of purple and white, its shiny is surrounded by the color black and white. Despite this, some appearance features still remain, like its checkerboard patterns and model build.

Purple Haze unleashes a furious 32 punch barrage. At the end of the barrage, it performs a quick strong punch. This move has start lag which means it will play an animation before the barrage. This move makes you and the enemy your hitting slower, making it very hard to escape. Once you activate this move, you can't stop it until the animation finishes. |

Purple Haze grabs its opponent and poisons them. The poison damage is 6 per second for a total of 15 seconds. This move is also able to bypass counter moves, due to it not doing any damage on impact.
Note: Every time you use this move, it spends 1 capsule to poison the target. This move will change to a regular heavy punch when you are out capsules. |

Purple Haze shoots a suppressed capsule. If it hits a target it will deal pitful poison damage every second for 15 seconds alongside a sphere of poison that lasts for 13 seconds. If it doesn't hit anyone, a small bubble sphere effect will manifest and gradually spread. This will begin dealing poison damage to anyone that walks inside of it (the projectile can't go inside walls). The zone lowers in damage when spreading. |

Purple Haze gives the target a vaccine. If you have it, you do not take damage from poison moves. When using this move, it will play a high pitched version of the medkit sound from Half-Life 2. | |||
  |
Purple Haze smashes the ground and breaks 3 capsules creating a bubble of poison that will gradually spread into a massive bubble that deals pitful poison damage every second quickly and slows down enemies for 72 seconds. |
