Adams

At a glance Adams looks like an unremarkable townsman of ordinary height and build, his hair kept short. The single giveaway is his tongue, which is grotesquely elongated.

Once he drops the human guise, a ridge of bone crowns his skull and his frame swells with muscle, betraying the monster underneath.

In his masquerade Adams plays a slightly childish local, even mooing like a cow while chatting with Poco about a scolding sister. The act hides a cruel, murder-minded creature typical of Dio's undead, and a sly one at that, since he lulls the travelers into trusting him before striking at their backs.

Formerly a resident of Windknight's Lot, Adams had already been remade by the time Dio seized the town. He crossed paths with Jonathan Joestar's party after their clash with Tarkus and recognized the boy Poco, chiding him for wandering so late and reporting that Poco's sister was furious over it. Jonathan thanked him, and the group set off.

The moment they turned away, Adams wrenched his head around and shot his tongue toward Poco, only for Jonathan to catch it mid-flight. His skin burst to reveal the horned, fanged zombie beneath. Boasting that no one could match his speed, Adams lunged, but Jonathan hurled him down by the very tongue, stamped a Ripple-charged foot onto his face, tore the tongue free, and finished him. That long, razor-edged tongue had always been his only real weapon, used to cut down opponents from a distance.
