Personality

Fiercely devoted to his post, Pet Shop wears a permanent glare and shows no mercy to any intruder, whatever their age. He fully intended to kill a small boy and was stopped only by Iggy's interference, and he felt nothing while tearing out and eating the eyes of two dogs before their owner. Relentless once he fixes on prey, he pursues no matter the danger of the route, and his sharp mind lets him spot the beggar spy Avdol employed and shred the man's photograph of the mansion after the kill.

History

Horus grants Pet Shop command over ice, which he mainly shapes into spikes and launches like missiles. As a bird he also flies with remarkable skill, even skimming beneath a moving car, and specialized air sacs let him breathe and swim underwater longer than a dog can, while his exceptional eyesight keeps fleeing targets in view. Posted at the gate of DIO's mansion as one of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, he kills anyone he judges suspicious.

He first cuts down two large dogs with ease and crushes a beggar hired by Avdol along with the man's car. Iggy witnesses this but plays ignorant to stay clear, and the wary falcon lets him be. Returning to his gate, Pet Shop finds the dogs' young owner slipping underneath and moves to kill the boy, only for Iggy to intervene and reveal himself as a Stand user.

Their fight sends Iggy fleeing into a sewer in hopes of losing him, but the bird follows with ease, cornering him through the water. Pet Shop nearly wins, freezing Iggy's leg and firing more ice, yet Iggy escapes by severing his own front paw. In the end Iggy clamps down on the falcon's beak as it readies an icicle and crushes it shut, killing him.
