After Pucci enlists Sports Maxx's power to bring it back to life, the bone becomes infectious. Anyone who touched it would mutate, slowly germinating, until becoming a sort of plant. Once plants, the nutrients they absorb from sunlight were given to a baby-like creature referred to as DIO's homunculus, or the Green Baby. Upon the birth of the Green Baby, a part of DIO's soul was reborn into it. This part of DIO then sought out Pucci, and upon finding him fused with his Stand in order to create C-Moon; as a fusion of DIO's Stand The World and Pucci's Whitesnake.
