Khnum belongs to Oingo, a bit player from Stardust Crusaders, and grants nothing but the power to remodel its wielder. Named for the Egyptian deity of creation and rebirth, it has neither a body nor a will of its own, existing purely as the trick that lets Oingo wear any face he wants.

Overview

Oingo carries Khnum during the Egypt leg of Stardust Crusaders, though the ability leaves no visible figure on the page. Because it works by reshaping the man himself, it lacks both a physical presence and any personality, functioning as a passive gift rather than a summonable fighter.

The name points to the ram-headed Egyptian god tied to creation and renewal, a fitting nod to a power built entirely around remaking flesh however its owner pleases.

Mechanics

Khnum offers zero offensive strength, yet its value lies elsewhere: Oingo can approach the same marks again and again without ever drawing suspicion. Using it, he came within a hair of wiping out the traveling Joestar party, and only a run of terrible luck spoiled the attempt.

The trick lets him adjust his looks, stature, mass, odor, and most likely his voice on command. He works his face like soft clay to reshape it, and while his clothing stays fixed, his hair bends to his wishes, at one point sprouting to copy Jotaro's cap. Oingo insists the changes can be reversed at will, though he is never shown returning to normal.

Notable Users

Oingo, the elder of a pair of assassin brothers hired to stop the group, is the sole wielder. His younger sibling Boingo reads the future through a separate Stand, and the two coordinate their doomed ambush together.
