-Kali is among the more famous Hindu deities, and is a terrifying, deadly destroyer, though typically targets only evil forces (and in some aspects is kindly and a benevolent mother figure). She is often the consort/feminine aspect of Shiva (sort of combining Shiva with his wife Parvati), himself terribly destructive, and is typically viewed as a blue-skinned, six-armed woman with her tongue sticking out (the Rolling Stones logo was taken from an image of Kali). From Kenma: "Its not wholly accurate to call Kali the consort of Shiva. She is, but the title isn't that of "Shiva's Wife" - that's Parvati's title. But Parvati and Kali are kind of the same person? But not really? It really depends on who you're asking, because the stories differ widely. Nevertheless, she's absolutely terrifying, vastly powerful, and usually can only be tamed by Shiva (who himself is tamed by Parvati, who may or may not also be Kali as well as Gauri... theirs is an interesting relationship)."
-One telling of Kali's rare battlefield appearances: "Kali's appearance is dark blue, gaunt with sunken eyes, and wearing a tiger skin and a garland of human heads. She immediately defeats the two demons. Later in the same battle, the demon Raktabija is undefeated because of his ability to reproduce himself from every drop of his blood that reaches the ground. Countless Raktabija clones appear on the battlefield. Kali eventually defeats him by sucking his blood before it can reach the ground, and eating the numerous clones." A band of thieves making a human sacrifice to appease her instead drew her ire when the victim, a monk of Brahmin, was so devout that his image burned her- she decapitated the thieves and drank their blood as a result, because she is the Goddess of METAL.
-Kali is one of the earliest monsters in the
MIMP line, and thus appears in the NES game as well (as a "three-hit" Monster), providing one of the few video games where you can defeat an actively-worshipped divinity in three hits. The figure is pretty good, with the famous "Garland of human heads", and in her four-armed aspect instead of the ten-armed one.
-Kali here is built up as a mighty PL 14- enough to take anyone in the real world with ease. With her multiple arms and sharp teeth, she does a horrendous amount of damage very quickly.
