Stardust Crusaders · Principal antagonist side
A free, unofficial animated pet for the Codex desktop app—not a standalone mobile app. The preview above is the released pixel artwork.
DIO is the principal antagonist side character entry for Part 3, Stardust Crusaders, in the 36-pet headline roster.
DIO is released as a validated Codex Pet V2 package from Wave 1.
The complete v2 atlas passed deterministic validation, three blind direction reviews, and independent visual QA. Every method below installs only this pet.
Requires the Codex desktop app with Pets support. If the codex:// link does not open, use Other install methods below.

DIO is the Part 3 principal-antagonist-side character pet, paired with The World. The character remains a separate released package at part-03-dio, while the detail page links the pair so fans can move between the character and Stand identities without merging them.
DIO's V2 reel presents the nine standard state rows followed by 16 clockwise look directions. The approved effect language uses oxblood and cyan pressure blocks attached to the eyes or active hand, with antique-gold fracture accents integrated into the heart ornament or cuffs; The World is never drawn inside DIO's rows. The final atlas cleared deterministic, blind-direction, continuity, and independent visual QA.
DIO's deep link is metadata-only: it passes the name, hosted spritesheet URL, description, and spriteVersionNumber 2 to Codex, without a stable ID or CLI-style package validation. The Bash and PowerShell routes use part-03-dio and check SHA-256 plus manifest id, spriteVersionNumber, and spritesheetPath. The npx route repeats those checks and is the CLI path that also verifies the WebP atlas dimensions are 1536×2288.
