Appearance[]
Iggy is a small black and white dog whose original appearance is modeled after that of a Boston Terrier. His paws, stomach, chest and neck are white, as are the area around his mouth and his forehead. His eyes bulge slightly, and he has loose jowls.
During his fight with Pet Shop, Iggy shrinks significantly, and his face becomes more cartoonishly human, with a large forehead, a small mouth and larger ears. His eyes also become much larger and more expressive.
Personality[]
Iggy is initially described as a particularly antisocial dog. His favorite treat is coffee-flavored chewing gum. He also enjoys chewing on human hair and farting in human faces. To begin with, he antagonizes Jean Pierre Polnareff most of all.
Iggy values his independence, and he has a high opinion of himself, thinking himself and his Stand stronger than Jotaro and Star Platinum.
Iggy rises to the challenge of his fights with Pet Shop and Vanilla Ice and shows profound bravery.

Trivia[]
- Originally, Iggy was supposed to have been a scraggly old dog, but this changed in the middle of the publication. His design and coloration is mainly based off that of a Boston Terrier.
- He is the only main character of Part III to not directly encounter Dio. Kakyoin and Polnareff had previously encountered Dio when they were taken over by his flesh buds, Jotaro and Joseph faced Dio during the events of the Dio's World chapter (accompanied by Kakyoin and Polnareff), and Avdol encountered Dio roughly four months before the events of Part III. Interestingly, in the OVA, Iggy did encounter Dio right before going with Polnareff to fight Vanilla Ice.
- In the fighting game, when Alessi uses Sethan on Iggy, he transforms into a more realistic looking dog. This is referencing the art change from his initial appearance to his current form.
- In the OVA, Iggy dies when he is caught by surprise by Ice, who bisects him and kicks his lifeless body into a wall.
- Iggy being a dog may be a reference to the song, "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by the Stooges, of which his namesake, Iggy Pop, is the lead singer.
- Iggy is, so far, the only animal to be a main ally in the series.
